#because holy cow the reality of death is not something an 8yo should be faced with so brutally
Text
Just realizing how traumatic it was for 8 yo me to be in the room as my great-grandmother died and how I still carry around the weight of that experience…
#she was just the first#but the only one where I was literally 3 feet away at the time of death#and my family was holding hands and singing and praying#meanwhile 8yo me just wants to pack up and go home#I have literally never cried more in my life#it was like waterfalls coming from my eyeballs#I was practically dry-heaving with the force of my sobs#not cause I was sad per se#I didn’t fully understand the situation#I was 8#I knew about death#but I didn’t know death#so I was flipping terrified#because holy cow the reality of death is not something an 8yo should be faced with so brutally#and with 0 familial support#they were grieving#yes#but they’re also super religious#and so they mourned the loss#but did not allow me to or help me to face the immediate earthly reality of death with which I was confronted in the form of them pulling l#*life support#yikes#death tw
