eclipse Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 The only thing you can do is be there for her. If you want to tell her anything, do it now. If you'd like to talk some more, you know how to reach me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 The thing is... shes two hours away from me and if she dies there... Ill never see her again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnell Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) I know how you feel (well sorta). Just about a week ago my mom was rushed to the emergency room with a blood pressure of 220/175. My dad went to visit her, but my sister and I had to sit home without knowing what was going on. It sucked. The doctors still don't know exactly what happened, but her bp is still above 150. Just try to stay calm. What eclipse said too. Try to keep your composure; if there's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do. If you're religious, pray, or whatever your particular religion advises you to do. Don't torture yourself over what you can't control. I know it's easy for me to say, but really, I would highly suggest avoiding all the "worst-case scenario" thinking, as it doesn't help anybody, and just scares you witless.

Can your parents drive you (assuming they didn't "forget" you at home)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey, hey, no problem. If it makes you feel better to vent, then vent away! Did you not want to go with your mom, or did she not let you go because it's late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 She seemed in one of those moods where she needed to go alone. Dad wouldnt of let me anyway. Stupid School. Now tomorrow Im gonna be in a shit mood and have to deal with the hoards of people saying "Whats wrong!?" even though they probably dont care.

eclipse Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Leaving you behind. . .sorry. Why didn't your dad want to go? Not everyone who asks you that is doing so to get on your nerves. Some of them might be genuinely concerned about you. If the worst does happen, don't forget to notify your teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel useless... ...Be strong. I will pray for you. Don't panic. You will just make things worse and don't feel useless. I know that you want to do something but the only thing you can do is wait. I used to feel like that when my grandma died earlier this year. I was panicking when I was at school. My brother called me by my celphone and told me to call my dad for he wasn't answering his celphone and my grandma was not feeling well. *she entered into coma* I left school and went into her house. My cousin was crying and I started crying,too. I don't want to demoralize you with what I just wrote but be strong for your family for they will need your support. I hope that your grandma is ok.

Malexis Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Just punch them in the face. I know you aren't supposed to just quote a post, but Death literally ripped the words from my mouth and sloppily slapped them onto his monitor, still dripping in my saliva.

Fayt Zelpher Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I don't know if this is any consolation, but my grandmother passed away less than two weeks ago from complications from heart surgery. So I can understand what you must be feeling. It's certainly not easy to go through all of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) My grandma had to go to the emergency room for pneumonia, and she survived. Very, very sadly, she died soon after (like, a couple months) by a heart attack. A week after being baptized too. :( Just try to pull through. Your grandma is in pain, not you (physically). Stay strong for her (even though you aren't able to see her right now). Edited September 7, 2010 by Phoenix Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawman Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Just stay calm yeah. My grandma died in July, a month before her and my grandfathers 64th anniversary. It was tragic. I wasn't there when she died and when I was there I couldn't work up the courage to say anything to her(she wasn't in a responsive state. I regretted it. BUT. Even if you can't go see her I'm sure she knows you love her such. It can be a tough time so just hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize that people praying for your cause is as irritating as stupid remarks about religion in a thread that has nothing to do with your problems with religion. If you have a problem with prayer, find somewhere else to vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
