Re: TW Death
I've lost all of my grandparents, and I wasn't present when any of them passed. It seems like a huge thing, not being there at that moment, but there are so many other moments, and so many of them are so vital and important. A life isn't measured only by its end, and the love you have for someone isn't measured by a single moment.
I'm sure you shared a lot with her. I'm sure she loved you, and knew that you loved her in return. Every bit of time that you spent with her over the course of your life mattered and matters. It's hard to think about that, because we always want more when someone passes. We want to have said more, done more; we want another day, another hour, another minute. We want to have spent more time with them because we think the time that we did spend wasn't enough, or wasn't as significant as that extra couple of seconds could have been. But it all was enough, and it all was significant.
You're not a fuck-up. You're human.
And also, the way you're experiencing your grief is not selfish at all. Grief isn't ever just about the person who passed; it isn't meant to be. It's also about us, because it hurts like hell to lose people we love and we have to process that hurt somehow. It's okay to feel whatever you're feeling. And it'll get easier.
