“I’ve been listening to these episodes for a little now, this episode really helped me today. Recently my grandpa died from cancer. And by recently I mean just the other day. I wasn’t able to talk to him before he passed, I hadn’t talked to him or seen him since I was a little kid. He disowned me when I was younger for a petty argument he had with my mother. I couldn’t help but feel guilty for not reaching out when I still had the chance. You know it’s just hard to really realize you’ll never be able to talk to them again. He’s just gone. Grief is a complicated thing, it’s hard to explain it to someone who hasn’t experienced it yet. It’s like a sinking feeling of reality. It just hits you I mean they’re just GONE. The emotions that follow with grief are so indescribable, there is rage, anger, sadness, guilt and confusion. I think one of the hardest parts of grief is when you feel any sort of positive emotion, you just feel guilty. You think to yourself “why am I not sad?” It’s so hard to grasp grief because it’s just so complicated. To anyone who’s reading this and has recently experienced loss, it’s ok to not be ok. It’s hard dealing with this, be kind to yourself <3.”
