/dep/ - Depression

My condolences wiz. After a decade, getting that stuff done will be a weight off your shoulders I imagine. My gran is getting worse too, she has dementia, I think. Despite her having been a huge part of my childhood though, the prospect of her dying doesn't make me feel any particular kind of way. We haven't had much contact for a decade and I guess childhood is far enough away at this point that it feels like a different life entirely. Yet I do not look forward to the arrangements and all that and I'm terrified of something happening to my mom.

That's the normal human adult male response. You can weep for the tragedy of an untimely demise that obliterates any hopes you had for good times together in the future. You can shed tears of joy and the good memories you've shared. It makes no sense however to cry for someone who lived long enough to expire naturally. Someone whose existence has become tiresome, and who can no longer create good times for themselves or their family, ought to have their life cheered as opposed to having their death grieved.
