So tonight on the way home from work I got a call from my mom. She told me that my grandmother had passed away a little bit earlier in the evening.
So I got home and changed clothes then headed to Lansing to see my family. I ended up finding my dad at my Grandpa's house. I hung out there with them for a little while. Then I went with my dad back to his house and hung out there for a little while.
I feel a lot of different things all at the same time. It's pretty strange. I've never really lost a family member before. I feel sad that she is gone. I feel relieved that she doesn't have to suffer any more pain. I feel sorry for my Grandpa and my father. I feel a bit angry at the circumstances that led to her living the way she did for the last decade. And sometimes I just don't feel anything. It's strange, really, like a complete absence of feelings. I don't think I've ever really felt like that before.
The funeral will probably be this coming Friday.
May she rest in peace and the grace of god be with you and your family.
