It is with great heartbreak that I make this post. This morning my grandfather passed away. 8/1933-11/2020 87 years on this earth building a life for 57 of them with my grandmother, and now she must go on without him somehow. #grief #grandparentloss #grandparents #grandfather goodbye for now, to the man who taught me to do things myself if I wanted them done, and how to do said things. Thank you for everything.... I miss you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIOrYR4pPML/?igshid=1bzhleyvkwj8t

“I'm falling, watching as your hurting I'm down here I'm on my knees How can I survive And you turn to me and promise me you're ready And tell me you'll be waiting on the other side And I still believe in the good And I still believe in the light And I wanna feel the sun I wanna free you tonight And you showed me all the good And you lead me through the light And you gave me the sun It's time to free you tonight” - lyrics from “Into the Light” by In This Moment It’s been 67 days since you left this earth Papa and I’m still not ok with it. One week ago would have been your 79th birthday. I feel like I didn’t give you permission to leave me. You were my rock in the worst of my childhood, the glue that held my broken pieces together. You were still always there for me no matter what as someone who loved me no matter what and would protect me from whatever demons haunted me. The world isn’t right without you and all of us that loved you are equally lost on how we’re supposed to live lives that don’t include you. You were too great of a man to not leave a mark on everyone that knew you. I know you were at peace with leaving this world but none of us are. I’m not. My grief is too great Papa. I love you so much. I will see you on the other side, yes, but I didn’t want to give you up. COVID is this evil monster that stole you away from me before I was ready, but I know I never would have been ready. I feel like I’m drowning in this grief sometimes because you’re one of those people I knew I would never be ok with losing. It’s so hard to talk about. I had my first pieces of popcorn yesterday since losing you. I love you so much, Papa, and I will always be your Doodle. #griefjourney #grief #griefandloss #imissyou #covid #covidloss #grandparentlove #grandparentloss #grandfather #grandfatherlove #grandfatherloss #griefsucks #grieving #grievingsucks #grievingprocess #grievingfamily #grievinggrandpa #songlyrics #griefquotes #writerslife https://www.instagram.com/p/CODMJPuLtJI/?igshid=1r4145az2oj81
