Death in the Family

[tamagotchi_pal]

I haven't been on TamaTalk in quite a while. One of the reasons was that I was grounded.
Another was that my brother, Edward, had passed away.

It's a surreal feeling when somebody passes away; I was never really connected with Eddie because he was autistic. And yet, when he was gone it was like there was nothing left in my life.

It hurts a lot to lose someone close to you. Actually, for the week I went back to FL for the funeral I didn't cry at all. It didn't really occur to me the depth of what had happened. It was too much to take in at one time.

It was a Sunday afternoon. We were watching America's Next Top Model. Tyra was about to announce who was to be eliminated when the phone rang. My mom picked up. It was my Dad.

He asked her if she was sitting down. She was.

He broke the news to her that Eddie had passed away. She started crying hysterically and at first I thought her mom had passed away.

That's when she yelled "My baby is dead!"

I have 3 brothers. I didn't know which one it was until she said Eddie's name. I don't remember much after that except that somebody texted me, and instead of responding normally all I could put down was "My brother just died."

I remember going upstairs and having my parents come in. My cellphone was ringing but I didn't want to pick up. I didn't want to talk. I couldn't talk. My parents were talking to me but I was just staring. I didn't hear a word they said.

Eddie died November 4th, 2007.

Share your stories.

Oh, that's horrible that your brother died I hope that nothing like that happens to my family.

Thats sad. =[

My mum died of Cancer. She would wake up in the mornings and cry because she was in so much pain, and the doctors didn't find out it was Cancer until it had gotten tangled into all the organs she needed to survive so they couldnt get it out, and she had lumps on her, and eventually we had to get her a wheelchair and a carer because she could hardly move. She got a bedsore from lying in the same spot for too long, and her carer said it was green and bigger than a 50 cent piece. My mum got me to promise her heaps of stuff and eventually my dad had to feed her and bathe her, and she couldn't talk anymore, and the day after my birthday, My dad called me into her room and told me to say goodbye and give her a kiss... then my dad changed her into her favourite clothes and some men came and put a black bag over her and carried her down the stairs on a stretcher.

I'll never ever forget that. My mum had a necklace that her dad (who has also passed away) brought her from Poland and she never took it off. Now I wear it and will never take it off.

R.I.P Mum,

I'm so sorry. It's difficult to lose a loved one- not just to RachelGotchi, but to all of you who has lost a loved one. =(

Last year my grandmother died. She was getting really weak and she was thin right to the bone. Eventually my dad (obviously her son) would have to feed her. When he went to see her in the home he fed her jook (congee in English, which is like a rice-y with many other ingredients soup except a lot thicker and nicer than it sounds) but she only took one small bite of it. She got thinner and thinner until she died. I remember after her death my aunt was saying that she prayed - not that my grandmother wouldn't die, but that she would be put to sleep because she was in so much pain. My sister and I were bawling at her funeral. It was so sad.

I'm so sorry to hear, RG

My grandmothers ex-friend who knew from a baby got dianosed of a stomach tumour, her doctors said she won't make it but she did. We're all proud.

I'm crying after reading all of you're stories. ;__;

 

No one really close to me has actually died. I think someone I love dearly will die soon though (in a couple of years). Caner, 2nd time.

I'm Sorry to hear about your Brother, I'm sure Where-ever he may be, He's watching over you. *hugs*

I lost My Dad When I was around 10 and a half.

Massive heart attack right infront of me. (Died Right Then and There. Fell off the chair he was going to sit down on for supper. Then He had a Massive heart attack)

I was Super close with my dad, He was my Best Friend. My hero.(His Nickname for me was "Dar-Dar" Which Meant "Darlin' Daughter"

My sister told me That When He Died, like, As soon as he had the heart attack, his eyes focused right on me. So I was the Last person he seen before he Died.

I never Realized he Died right then, I thought He died at the hospital, or in the ambulance.

So When My auntie told me that He was "Gone"...I Bawled my eyes out. Cussed about the Doctors.

Whenever there wasn't school, When My dad would go to work, I'd go with him (He was a Truck Driver, He Hauled pigs to a Maple Leaf Meat Processing Plant)

But When The Funeral Came, My eyes were Dry. No Tears, I felt Sick to my stomach though, But it was as if I didn't want to be there.

(It was a Double Funeral. My Dads, and My Grandpas(My Dad's dad, he died in December of 2003)

I found it Strange, The Friday (he died on Sunday) before My Dad Died, We were both at a store, I saw this Arrangement of Flowers. They were Purple, with Green leaves, and White Text that said "DAD" on it. I never knew they were for a funeral. So I asked my dad "Hey Dad, We Should get one of those for you, It says DAD on it" So He replied "Er, Dar-Dar, Thats a Funeral Arrangement. I'm not Dead Yet!"

Then On Sunday, two days later

He Dies.

As For My Grandpa's death. I wasn't super close with him, but It was still Sad to see him go.

I recommend making a seperate topic about this or taking the advice given and talk to your parents about it. Don't want topics hijacked or anything.

Oh, I'm so sorry about your brother. Nothing like that has happened to me before...well other than my cat Coal...he died when he was a kitten. I think something was wrong with him on the inside. I think something happened and he got an infection in him somewhere. Though its different with humans. (sorry I was kinda getting off topic)

I'm sorry.

My grandpa died in a coma. He just couldn't do things he wanted to anyway, he couldn't walk that good and he had Iliostome(sp? its gross to explain.)on him.But he also drank alot, and he wanted to get a new liver(?) but the doctors said no because he would keep drinking and that would be unfair to some one else. He was only in hospice(A place where people who have a un-cureable diease, they usually die there...) for about a week or something, then he died.

My elderly friend Faye died. She first had Breast Cancer in both, and then it spread to her body. But she just was always sick and hurt. I would go over her house everyday because her daughter Tina wasn't home, I wanted to talk to her so she'd be happy and not lonely. But she couldn't do things like get mail or other things.
