a ghost of a reflection
I feel like I am slipping farther and farther away.
I am grasping at happy things, but I am having fewer and fewer to pull from.
My grandpa died while I was in Hawaii with my parents. We flew home early for the wake/funeral. I have never had someone I love die. I was a wreck. 3 days later my dad went to have some tests done at Mayo to see if they could figure out what was wrong with him.
After those tests we were pretty sure it would be able to be fixed with surgery.
A few days later they said that nothing would fix it unless he got a heart transplant.
If he doesn’t get one, the doctors give him 2-3 years.
These have been the hardest 4 weeks of my life, and it seems like I can only get bad news.
I wish my sister was home so I could have someone to lean on.
I wish a lot of things right now.
I feel like everything is being held together with a thread.
I am sad.
My husband will be facing a liver transplant sometime down the road. It’s hard I know, and it’s a terrible thing to have to sit by, and watch your loved one go through this. My thoughts, and prayers will be with you, and your family. I hope that your dad is able to get that transplant soon. I also pray for the family of the donor. I’m sorry for the loss of your grandfather. I wish that there were more I could do or say. I truly am sorry.

Life throws a lot of curve balls. I know from experience losing loved ones and dealing with serious medical issues can be hard. Keep your head up, it will all turn out okay.
