I need to get this off of my chest really badly so
As a few of you all know a couple of years ago on my birthday my grandmother passed away. She was so young too ( both her and my dad had kids really early) but lung cancer got her. Apparently it was so gruesome we couldn’t even go back and look at her when she passed, I just know it was bloody and awful.
My birthday has always been awful but since she passed it’s been so so so much worse. She wasn’t just a distant relative or the typical grandma type, she was so active and strong. She helped raise me up seeming my family life was always awful and so many just left. My childhood was torture but I could go to her and she was always stable and comfortable. She’s taken so much care of me and now she’s gone. On my birthday. In the most brutal way.
Everyone only sees my birthday as a depressing flashback to her passing. I’ve never seen anyone react that badly to a death. We all loved her so much, she was like a second mom to me. I can’t express how excruciating this is for me and for my family. I used to live with her and see her all the time but now I can only see the grave.
**TW : past suicide**
It happened a couple of years ago, my birthday was awful and almost every birthday I had I became suicidal. I was walking to the bridge when I got the phone call and had to run back home and to the car to speed to the hospital. Thankfully my medication helps a lot with the suicidal stuff but the depression and crying all day still continues. I made a promise I wouldn’t die so I can’t, but I really don’t have the motivation or care to do anything but lay in bed.
**TW END**
This is going to happen every year. It wouldn’t be so bad if I was just sad but it’s everyone. I can’t blame them, it’s just an unfortunate situation.
Anyway
Thank you to anyone who read this, and if anyone is up for it could you send me a message on discord or a note? I need some sort of distraction for whenever I get online again.
I’ll get to the last commission I have then too. Sorry for the wait and lack of art, this is a tough time for me.
