Guys....sometimes when everything turns to shit, it really turns to shit.
I posted on here a few months ago about my grandfather on my mom's side getting cancer. It was melanoma that metastasized to his brain/lung/liver/bone. He was doing pretty bad, but then got better with radiation. And then last week just hit a wall and got so much worse.
Unfortunately he passed away Sunday, on Father's Day. It's been such a rough week.
To make it immensely worse, my dad's dad got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a week after my mom's dad was diagnosed. He had been doing good the whole time, but Monday, the day after my mom's dad passed, he hit a wall as well and was taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, the ambulance took him to the wrong hospital and no one knew where he was for 2 hours, and he was sitting on a gurney in the ER waiting area/hallway for 5 hours. No doctor would sign a release to have him transported to the correct hospital. He called and told my grandma to bring his shoes and he was "getting the fuck outta there". By the time anyone could get him in a room and family could get there, he had become unresponsive.
He passed away late last night.
I've never really known anyone that died....and now both of my grandfathers have died 4 days apart. IDK what to do with myself. My poor parents are struggling. My mom had barely started grieving when my dad's dad passed. So she has to be there for my dad, all while trying to grieve for her own father....and vice versa. I don't know how they're going to handle the next few days/weeks/months. I feel like there's nothing I can do. I don't know how to do it.
Life just really sucks sometimes.
If you guys could just keep us in your thoughts, that would be really appreciated. We aren't religious, but my dad's parents are/were. So feel free to send prayers if that's your thing.
I'll probably be around here trying to distract myself for a while. Hope everyone is well, and just wanted to say be sure to hug your loved ones and tell them you love them. You never know when it will be the last time you get to do that.
Sorry for the debbie downer post. I know it's difficult to post about normal stuff when someone drops in with bad news. Have a good day all.
