I know many people have lost family members and friends, they are all important and my loss isn't special. I just didn't think it would happen so late, after lockdown and getting vaxxed.
She initially went to the hospital in mid June, and was sent home about two weeks later. My dad was taking care of her and said she was doing much better. He didn't tell me she had taken a turn for the worse a few days later. He disappeared from MH Rise after playing almost every night but I didn't think much of it.
My cousins and aunt (my only close family members) were scared to tell me she had passed because I have not handled death well in the past. My pops finally texted me 4 days after she passed. Which I'm not upset about, he just lost his mom, and I'm estranged from the vast majority of my family.
We were not very close. She treated boys and girls in our family very different. I also think she was less interested in me because I am the product of an affair. So we were not blood related. I'm not upset about that, but it caused some bad blood in my family a few times. She once came to visit with a gift wrapped present for my big brother and nothing for me and my father was very upset.
Anyway, she was 86 and led a happy life I think. We lost my grandpa 3 years ago and I only saw her a few times after that, but she wasn't the same. They were both Jehovah's Witnesses and very sexist, which is why I barely spoke to them as an adult.
They didn't like my gf/now wife because we are pretty much the opposite of "typical" gender roles. The last time I saw my grandpa he told me that giving women the right to vote was a huge mistake that changed America for the worse, while my grandma nodded in agreement. He said it right in front of my wife and she loudly laughed which made him walk out of the room in a huff lmao.
Anyway, not much else to say. I'm not heartbroken, just surprised.
