I am still dealing with the fact that my uncle is dying, and I was doing pretty good at accepting it, then this morning I just got a phone call that a LONG time family friend passed away of a heart attack... I am babysitting this morning, and I am not doing a very good job, I am sitting here bawling, and I am tired of everything. I really dont want to deal with this at all, and I feel sooooo bad for his wife and kids, and all I can think is Why does this always happen to me, when I NO there are people who are hurting way more than I am. Sorry, I just need some support and a place to vent my frustrations!!

So my friend came to pick up her kid ( the one I was babysitting) and she told me that on Thursday I didnt have him until 11 instead of 9, because "some lady from the food banks huband died and now all of our scheduals are being uprooted because of her problems". I was so angry when she said this, but said nothing, she then proceeded to tell me that " this old dude, got in a car accident in December and NOW his kidneys have failed due to the accident" Finally, I was PO'd enough and I told her that "the old dude's" name is John and the accident he had over 8 months ago had nothing to do with him passing away. She knows nothing about him, his wife or his family, but she actually sat here and argued with me that her story, is exactly what happened to him. It just made me so mad, it is people like her that start rumors and make things for the family's going through these things 10 times worse. and her biggest concern, was what she was supposed to do with her kid while I was at the funeral. Well, just needed to vent again.

Kindra I am sorry about your loss!! Your friend was not very
considerate when she said that to you--- even if she did not know
the person it is RUDE!! Try not to let the anger toward her
overtake your feelings right now. Best let her be for now I think!
Focus on the family of your friend who passed away and consider
what they might need right now! A batch of brownies??? Something to
let them know you care!! As for your uncle I know it is very difficult
to accept these things. We have no control over them all we can do
is try to ease their pain somehow. WHen my brother died I had a very
hard time feeling so bad for myself then I realized I need to focus
on HIM not ME!! So I wrote some letters to him about things we did
as kids that were funny-- kind of a memory book and a thank you!!
I did also find some little books at the bookstore that were
really cute just to make him a laugh a little!
His death reminded me of all those little things I take for granted!!
I hope that this helps you somehow!! My heart goes out to you! Judy
