My Dad is Dying

My journal about my father's death: Understand my thoughts as my dad passes away slowly.

The beginning of my journaling about my father’s death Me and Dad – Photo courtesy of author Journal Entry – July 11, 2017 My dad is dying.  He knows it.  I know it.  We are all slowly watching him decline.  It’s not easy.  In fact, I wonder if it’s easier when someone is suddenly gone as opposed to watching them slowly deteriorate.  I wonder how I will feel when he’s really not here anymore. …

You know that feeling when you see something super fucking dope at the store like a Tetris lamp, or a Bluetooth speaker shaped like a pizza, or a frying pan that looks like a giant tomato? You get super stoked and you want it really badly. You want to get it, but damn is it expensive. So you walk away from it. You’re bummed out that you aren’t rich enough to have everything you want. You tell yourself maybe I’ll get it when it’s on sale later. You go home without it, but then you live your life without it and you don’t think about it anymore. Maybe every once in a while you’ll see something that reminds you of it and you’ll be like damn I wish I could have gotten it, but that’s okay. I didn’t need it.

That’s kind of how I’m feeling right now, except my heart fucking hurts. I feel like I’m losing something much more important than a tomato frying pan, but I know that I can’t just sit around thinking about how I didn’t give her enough. I could have given her the world on a silver platter and I still wouldn’t have been enough to make her stay. I can’t spend my whole life just waiting for her to become more available for me. I can’t. 

So on a lighter note, I got a babysitter so I can go to the bar this weekend and not take my meds and drink at the same time. I’ll be playing pool with Weston while simultaneously playing Bar Bingo. It’s where we make a Bingo card and we put things on it that we think we will see. Like “dude singing along to the jukebox” or “bartender with huge boobs” or “dude getting drunk with his emotional support animal” or “group of bachelorettes getting white girl wasted.” It’s a fun time. The winner of Bingo gets a free drink from the loser. 

Also, I’ve decided I’m just going to waste my life away on Minecraft and art for a while. I thought getting on Tinder and Plenty Of Fish was going to help me meet new people and maybe I’d click with someone, but I just can’t. Every time I start talking to a new girl, I just get sad and bored. I’m still so stuck on her I can’t connect with anyone else, and that’s okay. I thought about having a rebound or just slutting it up, but I know I can’t do that even if I wanted to. I need more than a heartless hookup.

I’ll be single until I get what I deserve. I’m not afraid of being alone. I prefer quality over quantity, especially at my age. I am too old for mind games and no strings attached sex. I know how much I hate it and I’m cool with waiting for the right person, weather it’s her or not. Maybe we will reconnect? Maybe she’ll want to try again and I would love that, but if she doesn’t, I need to be okay with that. For my own sake and sanity. I’ll go crazy waiting on a “maybe.” So fuck it. I’m gonna do me, and the right people will show up for me.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the final stage of grieving: acceptance.

The stages of grief: 2 points

It is said that everyone processes grief differently, but there are five or seven stages to it.

Disbelief and shock/denial

Guilt and pain/bargaining

Anger

Depression

Acceptance

To give you some context: in the past week I’ve had to go through all the first 3 in 4 days, and have started the fourth stage. I don’t have time to process it, or to feel anything about it or reflect on my feelings; I don’t have time to be sad because what’s important is my brother, who is only 10 years old, how he is feeling.

I’ll deal with the pieces of me later, as I’ve always had. Is that healthy? No, probably not, but it’s what I have to do.

Too many things have had to happen this week in order for my family and I to rescue my brother and have him live here in our home country with us, which means he has had to basically speed through the stages and try to accept the huge changes that are coming for him in his life.

Which means that now, he is basically stuck on the ‘anger’ phase which is a problem, because he tends to repress his emotions, and when he explodes, I mean he EXPLODES. And when that happens, he tends to lash out, and forget that people have feelings, and says things with the aim and intent to hurt.

My conversation with him yesterday went terribly because of that. We talked for a long while, but he… it didn’t go well at all. I had a huge collapse after we spoke and cried for hours because of how he treated me. Right now, he’s too much like mom and she really brainwashed him. It’s really painful to see and hear the things he says.

I’m hoping the interaction and socialization with our cousins, with other kids, will make him relax and well, realize that not only his feelings matter and exist. I’m hoping that we can still help him, fix it.

This week has been a freaking roller coaster and my period’s late because of the stress. I’m trying to keep myself together for now, because the next few weeks, if not the next two months, will be really hard.

@academia-octavia requested ‘Short Plokit, don’t care what happens’

I could kill one of them, and make the other mourn them...hmmm...nah...but you will get some angst

(Though I am tempted to just write full-on gore)

Enjoy!!!

It was quiet.

Not entirely, as the sounds of Coruscant could still be heard in the background, but inside it was quiet, which was rare.

Plo didn’t like it.

His husband was still shaking in his arms, his nails digging into Plo’s back, but he had gone silent an hour or so back. Plo for once wasn’t sleeping, instead he just softly stroked one of his husbands' tentacles in an attempt for comfort while being deep in his own thoughts.

They’d had an argument earlier.

It wasn’t like them, they’d never raised their voices at each other before. Plo has heard from Shaak that Luminara and Aayla sometimes argued loudly about Aayla’s recklessness, but never them.

That didn’t mean they didn’t disagree from time to time, but it was always gentle.

Plo knows Kit is hurting. He is too, of course, but not like Kit. That was why his husband was angry.

Anger is a natural reaction in situations like this, at least for species like Nautolans. When they’d become friends so many years ago Plo had looked up some things about Kit’s species, as he didn’t know too much about them before. He suspects that Kit did the same.

Kit shuffled in his arms and let out a soft whine.

‘Nightmare’, Plo thought and places his mask against Kit’s forehead, still stroking his tentacle.

Kit has started shaking, and tears had softly started to escape his eyes.

It was painful, and Plo wanted to wake him up so badly, but he knew that if he did his Husband most likely wouldn’t be able to fall back asleep.

It was still quiet.

No soft steps from outside their door, no frequent tapping on a holo pad, no door opening and someone trying their best not to wake them, no small laughs from something funny being read, no small whispers between two young souls.

Nahdar was gone.

And he wasn’t coming back this time

The Stages

He’ll come back

He did already

Twice before

He needs me

I need him

I’m not me without him

I’m mad at myself

For staying

For taking him back

For not loving myself enough

To walk away

To say no

I’m mad I ignored the signs

He couldn’t even tell me

He loved me

After 3 years

3 fucking years

If I’m a good person

Maybe he’ll come back

If I become confident and strong

Maybe he’ll come back

If I show him I don’t need him

Maybe he’ll come back

Why couldn’t I be what he wanted

What he needed

What he craved

What he desired

What is wrong with me

Maybe I won’t be good enough for anyone

Not that I want anyone

But him

Even though I’m not even a thought in his mind

I don’t exist to him anymore

I went from everything

To nothing

I deserve more

Intimate nights

Not nights spent alone,

nauseous and restless

Meaningful conversations

Not months of silence

Tears of laughter

Not tears of rejection

I deserve love

Not abuse

[denfyke]

Guilt

Yeah, I do feel guilty about a lot of things I did, or didn’t do. I feel bad for things I said, and for all the things that went un-said. Things I will never be able to say. I wish I would have spent more time reading the books he loved to read, listening to the music he loved, and just listening to all his crazy ideas about his latest hobby or interest. I wish I wouldn’t have lost my temper easy and gave more hugs and kisses freely. I have general guilt and very specific moments I feel terrible about. I missed his field trip in third grade, and picked him up late when it was raining. I gave a rescued kitten to a friend when he wanted to keep it. Some things I’m still just not ready to think about, or write about.

How can we express our grief in healthy ways? How can we find ways to be with our grief? How do you transcend grief? How can sensing, seeing, hearing or being aware of our loved ones who have passed over empower us to process our grief? What are the major blessings that accompany a major loss? #stagesofgrief #grief #griefjourney #naturalhealing #naturalhealth #medicalintuitive #medicalintuitivehealer https://www.instagram.com/p/CjsiHG3uUQy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
