So. My grandmother died this afternoon. That's all I know right now; I don't know when the funeral will be, or what days I'll be going home, or how exactly it happened or how people are dealing. (Me, I'm dealing by having produced the first 400 words of an incredibly angsty fanfiction, which I'll likely think better of posting, but which seems appropriate at the moment.)

I've been in so many airports these last few months. I don't mind flying, and I always get through security without a problem, but it all seems so drudging and tiresome. I hate these little details more than anything, I think. I want everything to stop and be shocked at death, I want the world to shake; all the normalcy of it is terrible. It makes it seem inevitable. Which it is, but it feels wrong that we would let it be like that.

I don't have much to say, but if I don't post now, I never will, so. Now you know.

I'm so sorry. I think the world does shake, and that there are moments when you can feel it doing it beneath that facade of normalcy. But that's no compensation for something so monumentally wrong.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you. And yes, that is just how it feel.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I haven't experienced the death of anyone close to me yet, but yeah--the normalcy after a crisis or trauma does become terrible sometimes.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Before this fall, I only knew one other person who'd died, so it's all pretty new to me, too.

All I can say is *hug*. When my Grandmother died two years ago, I tried to put my head through the kitchen wall and had a breakdown.

If you need to talk, we're here for you.

And I do appreciate it, really, but I don't have much to say, so it'd mostly just be me being silent- which, not so much fun!
