Death Part Deux
by Bobosan on Aug.23, 2005, under Main
My Grandmother died yesterday at 5:17 am. By 7:30am , I was in Muncie planing a cremation. The service is Thursday at 1:00 at her church, with the spreading of the remains in Knox, PA the following Thursday also.
I picked my brother up to head to the morturary, and was telling him the last time I was in it , was an Aunt’s funeral he never knew. He told me, the last time he was in here, was for his friend that got shot in the head. This town is about 3,000 people, so a shooting must have made headlines here. It’s odd I never heard about his friend being shot. Perhap’s that’s why he took her death so hard.
Myself, I didn’t really get too emotional at all. I never really teared up, it was all matter-of-factly. I only really got emotional once, and I called up the ‘devout christian’ on my phone, and she helped me out a little. Other than that out burst, which was really just tears fighting to come out, I was fine. I just had to be there to help Brenda, because thats about all the family I can console.
My grandfather is handling this well. He probably is still in a bit of shock about it, and having a house all to himself hasn’t set in yet. I probably won’t see much of him, because I really wasn’t close to him at all. Seems like all we do when we’re together is bitch about my mother, and her house. I wouldn’t be surprised if my grandfather evicts my mom since he has no one saying not to. It will be an interesting few months for that family.
So, my last remaining Grandmother is in the ground. My other one, well, she killed herself a few years before I was born. I’ve only got the males left in this family, and that does not bode well with me at all.
Off to mope!
