Blogosphere: Episode 9- Robert Long

   Welcome back to the Blogosphere with Robert. This episode is going to have a lower energy than all of the others. At the time of me typing this in my notes, I was on the brink of tears for the first time in years. I'll let the July 18th Robert tell you what happened...
   Today is, handsdown, the hardest day I've had in my whole life. My past weeks have been filled with joy and pain, but nothing compares to the grief and sadness I've felt over the past two days. As I've mentioned multiple times in my other blog posts, I moved in with my grandmother recently due to her steady health decline. Today, all that has changed. My grandmother passed away on Tuesday, and I didn't know there was a pain such as this on this Earth. My heart has grown heavy and sad, and at this point I'm not sure how to feel. I know she passed from natural causes in her sleep, but I can't help but feel there was more I could do. I'm sorry to those who find this post a bit sad and heartbreaking, but I felt as if this a big, if not the biggest, event of my Summer 2019. A man showed up here yesterday and assured me that if something like this were to happen, she'd be in a better place. A part of me wants to believe that, but an even bigger part of me just wants to hate something. I'm not too sure what, though.
   So that was the post I had planned to paste into the Blogspot on the same day, but it has just sat in my notes since then. I am aware that this was a rather sad episode than the others, but as mentioned above, it was a major event of this summer  and my life in general. I also want to take this post and use it as a thank you to those who wished me their best condolences and prayers. I also want to say this: no matter what we show on the outside, it's the feelings of each individual that truly show how life strives within each and every person. Thank you for reading today's episode of the Blogosphere!

  1. Thank you for writing about your grandma in the first place. I know it’s probably been a really hard thing to get through. And that you’ve probably had to put up a calm front to mask more of what you’ve been feeling.
    Death is a really hard thing to go through. And it doesn’t exactly stop coming up. I’ve found myself on multiple occasions in tears of what happened two years ago. But I’ve grown stronger from it. And I hope you do too.
    I’m not really religious, but I hope you and your family are well. If I can do anything but offer condolences, please let me know.

  2. Thank you, Vin, for taking your time to read and respond to my post. It was very hard to finally overcome her death, but acceptance is key, and I feel that telling my story is a step towards victory in my book. It has been a little while since her passing, so I have done plenty of recovering and I'm proud to say, I need not physical support, but possibly only mental support. I think that over time I shall heal and find myself at ease with her death. Until then, it is amazing to know that people like you are always around. -Robert
