My grandma passed away at the beginning of the summer, and now my grandpa passed away a few days ago.
I'm okay with it, as in I've come to terms with it, but it's still tough. I mean, they were both Christians and my entire family is convinced they are rejoicing in heaven. I'm okay with that.
It's just that it's really hard to imagine someone NEVER COMING BACK. It's hard to fathom.
Anyone have any insight?
This is my first brush with family death since early childhood.

My little sister is facing the death of her relatives.
So, where should I begin... there's the Christian POV, which says that you'll be able to meet them again in the afterlife. But even if that's it, It doesn't mean you have to kill yourself in order to meet them again.
My grandparents died not a very long time ago, but I wasn't as close to them as you seem to have been with yours. Maybe that's it, you miss them much enough to let that thought bug you and make you think the situation is reversible. Coming to terms with it doesn't mean you're actually peaceful under said concept.
I'm sorry if any of this comment is offensive. -
ive had many deaths well this year itself but things will get easier for you, seeing as youve come to terms with it so quickly im sure it might hit you real soon.

So school started this week. I was happy, I thought things would be different. I was wrong. There's kids that hate me for no reason, and pick on me for how I dress and the fact that I'm different. I hate most of my classes and teachers, and no one in the whole damn school seems to care that I'm suicidally depressed.

Sometimes he'll be talking and I miss what he's saying because I'm lost in his eyes. Sometimes I blush because the intensity in the way he's looking at me makes me feel so beautiful. Sometimes I wonder if he's thinking the same thing I am when I'm looking into his eyes. Sometimes he says the simplest things and Ion Jul 29 9:36 AM, 100 words. → 2 comments, Add one?

So here's the thing... there's these two guys that I dated separately for two years (each) and they're polar opposites but I love both of them. Guy number 1: sado-masochistic, deepest fantasy, etc. Guy number 2: treats me like a queen, puts up with all my shit, etc. So what's more important??

like standing on the edge of a cliff that's crumbling under your feet I looked into the coffee cup, and felt a little queasy as if I might topple into it and drown I close my eyes, and put my head down as the vertigo passes, I look miserably into the swirling mixture I've felt this way ever since you left me s

This is my very first online journal entry, and since I don't know who will see it, and I don't really know how this site works, I'm going to have to be careful what I say. Well, let's see.
