The Oldest Member of my family died. Well over 90, I dont know.
And I am like totally scared of death and stuff like that, and It makes me really upset, well My mother died slowly of Cancer over 5 years and this rather serious alcohol addiction really took hold during that.
How can someone who just lost their Gramma (my cousin) comment about a book she is reading on facebook?
I must be too sensitive. I hardly knew her but she was part of my family's history, Since when did Mourning take 5 minutes.
My family has lived here for 110 years. Sorry again I'm somewhat upset.

We all handle loss in various ways I think Space.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Resist the urge to drink - it doesn't help...and you may be able to be of service to someone else in your family.

I am sorry for your loss. Grief is a strange emotion, and we all deal with it differently. Maybe your cousin was trying to escape for a little bit with the book.
When my dad died almost three years ago I went to work the next day because we would not be able to fly back to the East Coast until the following day. Some people may have thought I was crazy, but I needed to keep my mind busy and I knew if I sat at home just waiting I would be a mess.
I have very similar fears about death, I do not like the idea of not being here one day, which is why I intend to make the very most of each day, actually a great motivator for sobriety.
I hope you're doing ok Space, I also hope you keep posting.

Being there for your dad today is going to be a great support for him. You are allowed to feel sad today, but I agree with Soberlicious, your mom would want you to take care of you.
Sending hugs today, and positive thoughts your way.
