I'm not new to death but lately it seems to be happening to often. I dont cry much but when i do i don't know how to healthily deal with it. My current situation is that my grandfathers health is rapidly declining and i cant seem to handle it. I recently witnessed him crying about it and it broke my heart. I love my grandfather and i cant stop getting to emotional about it.

Maybe the emotions makes you feel powerless? And that's why you want to overcome it?

Yea i guesss it just hurts a bit to much I lost tons of important people in my life and am never mentally prepared to handle it. I am the youngest of my family and I cant shake the fact that everyone and everything is moving way to fast. i want to live as i am forever not deal with separation. I get really emotional just thinking about it but think each day is slipping away.

So it's overcoming the turbulence of loss, not death itself?

#

To me these aren't trivial semantics, I think cutting to the core is something that helps because articulating emotions is a means by which we process them

Yea i guess it is about overcoming loss i feel like I have no one to talk to about it. I love my family but i seem to be losing a lot recently it has come to the point where its a little bit unbearable. Sometimes i wish to just see them for one more time to tell them how much I love them, But that slike impossible currently my grandfather has been diagnosed with kidney failure and it hurts to see him in so much pain. I want to tell him its going to be okay but its unbearable to see him like that. All i hear are old stories of how he was the toughest dad but now I cnat seem to see that. I visit him every day and i know the days coming but i dont feel ready.
