My Grandpa's not doing very well.

I want him to get better, but I'm worried about what'll happen.

I can't exactly do much because he lives in all the way Africa.

What do I do?

try to think about the good things

@oofyy

Ooh~ nice.

But losing a family is depressing, especially if you've met them before.

I lost my other Grandpa back in 2017, right on Christmas Eve. I really liked him. I wish I did more with him.

@oofyy you don't know what it's like to lose a family member?

I'll tell you but in a diff thread ok?

@StarryNeptune is it ok if I tell @oofyy what it's like to lose a family member here?

I'm chocking on my tears cough

Sure Cookie.

@StarryNeptune I've had the chocking-on-tears moments a lot.

dang it I feel so bad for you I wish I could do something about it ;-;

Oh no..

I'm not really sure what you can do, both because I can't think of any and a couple good suggestions are already here.

Yeah.

My mom doesn't know that I'm worried.

She recommended saying hi to him over the phone.

But then, he's having trouble speaking so I'm not sure what to say.

Anyways...

@oofyy once you know you've lost a family member it seems like all hope is lost and really the only thing you feel is sadness and hate. Then usually you would get past the sadness but then live on with guilt and hate. I know this because it's happened to me 3 times...

And that's what it feels like.

Happened to me twice.

I feel sad for a while and get better. After a long time, its like a roller coaster. Some days, I really feel guilt and sadness.

Honestly, I don't really know how to help, as I'm obviously not one to rely on for help.

All we could really do is hope for the best.

@StarryNeptune

<3 It will be okay, just call him, tell him you love him a lot. Try an accept all possible outcomes. DO NOT and please DO NOT hurt yourself! Everyone deals with their pain differently so please, don't do anything that could harm yourself. I would draw him something or make something for him and mail it to him. If you ever need anything I gotchu <3

Aww~

Thank you.
