How Do You Handle Grief?
GOOD AFTERNOON ECCENTRICS✨
1 year since my Great Grandmother Tish passed away and wow! I really just sit back and remember, smile, cry, adore & cherish all the memories!!!
In the last year, she asked me to make sure I bring my siblings to come and see her. In which, I did! One by one! I’m the oldest of 7. She cussed me out about not coming to see her in the hospital😂 and I told her, sad to say, no one in the family informed💔. She proceeded to say she forgives me and that she will be at my graduation and to make sure she gets an invitation, she would then make sure the whole family got there’s!🫶🏾 Before and/or after class in college, I would stop by and try to catch my Grandma, meaning she stayed around the corner from UF, but she was ALWAYS ON GO so you literally had to catch her🤦🏾♂️😭!!! When I did, we caught up on all the wonderful things, people, and events I had been experiencing. There is and always someone who hits that: “Baby, do you know a Tish McGlon?!” Yes that’s my Grandma🩵!! Awww the memories💝💝💝!!!
But I wanted to end this with one she loved to always share about how “bad” she say we were🤣🤣:
When we were little, our family used to take a family trip to Lake Liki Tiki in Orlando, Fl. They separated the big kids and little kids. The big kids went out to the park alone and played and the little kids stayed with the adults.
I just so happen to be the cut off. I was the oldest of the little kids. 😒😒 they watched CN & I was a Disney & Nickelodeon kid so I wanted to go outside. I was upset. I was so smart and had a mind of my own. So the one time my cousin, Tiara, spoke up and said she would watch me, ever since then I was with the big kids😁😁😁!!
But on the ride home😭. Grandma would say, this is were she’d say: “ouuuuuu *LAUGHS* yall was just soooo bad!! AUNTIE SHIRLEY! AUNTIEEEE SHIRLEYYY! I WANT AUNTIE SHIRLEYYYYY!!” (In a high pitch trying to mimck our children voices). Oh how we loved us some Auntie Shirley! She loved the kids and basically let you get your way! Grandma Tish DID NOT PLAY😭😭!!
She said she pulled over at the gas station to get us some candy. She shut us up but after it was over, “AUNTIE SHIRLEYYYY! I WANT MY AUNTIE SHIRLEYYY!” She said she called Auntie Shirley and told her to PULL OVER and GET THESE HOLLERING *** KIDS😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!! & we shut up once we switched cars😭😭!
She ended with, y’all loved some Auntie Shirley but I loved my babies as y’all were so precious and smart!
Long Live a SWEET but rowdy😂, God-loving, & family oriented Tisha Mae McGlon💕!!!
So as you see, for me, I’m a softy & water bag🥲! My rising sign is a Cancer, so my emotions could be at their peak! I love to look back, reminisce, & get deep. My mind remembers sooooo vividly and is so encrypted with information!
I’m good at bringing up a memory and dwelling on it for a while and can even zone out. But after this, I was in a dark place without knowing it and just didn’t know how to grief honestly. Taking time to myself and just gathering myself and using the pain to push forward instead of hold me back!!!
My coping method is talking, healthy dialogue, but throughout all my chit chat, how do you deal with grief??🥹 you want a buddy to talk about your grief?? Just know I love you❤️🫂!
We all go through things and it is a part of life!!! Let it out!! Let it go!! Let God!! Feel free to comment, DM, or leave a note on the site if you want to chat. Thank YOU for Everything🩵
