That might make it a bit more understandable. Depression’s pretty awful, though I’ve thankfully never suffered from it myself.
yeah but no way can you go thru fuckin cnacer treatment without figuring out whats going on at some point from what people are saying around you or just reading your chart or whatever and then you still have cancer and a family you cant trust to tell you shit too.
That’s the part I’m worried about. I don’t know if I’d be able to forgive my family if they hid some disease I had from me.
I hid my LDR with my girlfriend from my mother for a full year. She found out after i decided to fly out to see her last December when my sister lurked my twitter and blabbed about my goings-on. Haven’t been trusted with anything since.
If you’re on the verge of death you should be told so
ray harryhausen died :-\
That seems like a silly thing to hide.
Fucking hell.
Well, he had a great run. I can only dream to live a life like that.
I’m sorry for your loss
my grandmother experienced a similar thing in 2010 and my grandfather (father’s side) passed away, so I knda know what you are feeling
still it sucks a lot, so I hope you manage to move on
Thanks for the support guys. My grand-father will be okay. He learned very quickly to take care of himself (he actually enjoys cooking now) when my grand-mother became less and less able. And almost all of the family has been staying with him since the last week to support him.
Also yes Winged I too think he should be told. I sincerely hope not, but what if everything does not go as planned ? It’ll be even worse for him. IMO it’d be best if they tell him the truth, but also make sure he knows it’s not as bad as it sounds (if it isn’t).
My grandmother is on a sort of a verge (for the second time), and I’m worried. All I can say is I know what you’re feeling. It’s fucking bad and my heart goes out to you.
Also @ Winged, that shit should be illegal. No one should have info like that withheld from them.
My grandmother was 100 years and two weeks old when she died. She was on her way out for the last 6 or 7 of those years. She was just hanging in there to be 100.
I’m sorry for your loss guys. @Winged I think you should go against your parents wishes and tell him. It’s better than withholding the information when he deserves to know. It’s really a question of balance; can he handle it? If he can’t it may be best to ease him into it.
Grandfathers, both sides taken out by a stroke. The one on my mom’s side died in 2003 or so, it was so long ago… the one on my dad’s side died about 2 years ago.
Unfortunately, we’re still dealing with the shit he pulled… cutting a long story short, he used to be a spy for the US Government and had A LOT of secrets and kept them pretty well wrapped up until we started digging looking for financial records. Turns out he was conning my grandmother out of her settlement lawsuit. $1 million by today’s standards among a shit load of other things. If he was still alive I’d prolly ring his neck with my dad.
Anyone got plans for summer? I’m gonna try to get an internship at a local vfx house.
I’m taking a summer class, so I’m going to use that as an excuse for not getting a job.
my usual empty life will continue through the summer
Potentially use up most of my holidays to spend time with the gf, since I won’t be going abroad this year.
Other than that: some concerts, festivals and work.
Same here, last year in school and I haven’t been able to get a job.
I’ll probably end up going unemployed for a year and then force myself to study for 6 years. …Then I end up deep down into the bottle since I still can’t get a job.
On top of this I still feel anxiety because it’s almost been a year and I still haven’t apologized to that girl for how I acted. Just haven’t been able to get the nerves and I can’t for the love of life figure how I should start that conversation.
I’m going to work for the first time ever for three weeks at a communal job I got from some lottery type thing.
The rest of the time I’m probably just gonna spend fucking about and enjoying being off from school.
Gonna get some guitar classes this summer, hopefully, I am making a band at the end of the year
sounds like a shitty lottery
