This Is The Part Where We All Get Angry

Posted on October 9, 2008 - Filed Under Life

I am really disappointed with the way my family is handling things right now.  Everyone is so  angry at each other and it’s sad  to watch things unfold this way.  People are going to read this and get upset with me but it is something I can’t hold in right now and this is my outlet.

Everyone handles grief in their own way and I understand the anger part, but I don’t understand the brutality of it in a time like this.   We are all pretty devastated because my grandmother was the glue that held the family together.   Now that she is gone it is almost like everyone feels like they have a free pass to be destructive.

How can we honor someone in death when we are all at each others throats?

It is okay to be angry about our loss, but placing blame on each other and getting mad because someone didn’t do the right thing or didn’t do something the right way is just wrong.

Why are we not helping each other right now?  Is this what happens to families when someone dies?  I just don’t get it.

I’ve been angry and upset, but it isn’t anyones fault.  I am guilty of keeping my distance right now and kind of watching things form the sidelines.  That is how I deal with this stuff.

I just want everyone to put the hate and anger aside until the service is over and things are laid to rest.  If everyone still wants to hate each other and be angry after that then they can do it without me.

Sorry for the rant, I know it’s all over the place but .. so am I.
