Thank you for sharing this vlog Brenda. I didn’t realize this but I’ve never been a position where I had to assist a grieving friend. (I’ve been a terrible loner for most of my life) But more importantly, I’ve only had 2 experiences in my life where I mourned someone. 1. When I was 11 my grandmother passed away from a short battle with colon cancer (too suddenly for me) and all of my uncles and aunts accused me of killing her with claims that I I was a difficult child to care for. So, not only did I grieve, I had no one comforting me at all. 2. I am a caregiver for people with Dementia. A client that I grew extraordinarily close with, she was like a grandmother to me, passed away in my arms. I had already had a very stranger relationship with loss because of my experience when my grandmother passed so I really broke down. My entire world collapsed actually. But it was strange for my client’s family because they were grieving and didn’t know how to comfort me and it seemed as if they were waiting for me to comfort them since it was their mother, their family member who had passed. Basically, I have a terrible history with grieving and I literally have no idea if I’d be able to handle another loss or be of any help to someone who might depend on me so this vlog was soooooo helpful. ❤ I remember you said you were going to post this so thank you so much for following through and sharing this.
Hi Nowa! Sorry you had to experienced those things :( Especially with the lack of comfort or support. I don't think we're ever ready for another loss, but I think you being here today and living each day is proof that "this too shall pass" and time flows and heals. I hope one day you can receive the care you deserve and bestow it to others in turn ^^ R.I.P to your grandmother and client. They sound like warm people whom I'm sure impacted your life in positive ways ❤ And thanks for stopping by as always! Love seeing a familiar and friendly face in the comment section ☺ Your story made me feel glad I uploaded, so grateful I could help!
