My grandmother's about to go

hypercolius

Hi,

I wrote about this before. 

My grandmother has cancer, and she suddenly deteriorated. She's in another country, I can't visit her because of the war in Ukraine. 

My mother described her as 'leaving', saying she barely walks and spends all her time sleeping. The only time she came alive was when she heard my voice- she told everyone she knows about my presentation in Parliament, and always compares me to Lev Landau. 

I'm feeling extremely upset, and crying all the time because of this. 

A young woman I was talking about a lot earlier is visiting me on Saturday- I really want to tell her, and I don't want to start crying in front of her.

  • I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.

    I actually think it is an attractive thing for most women to see a man be in touch with his emptions and be willing to be vulnerable in front of them - just so long as you don't descent into a blubbering wreck.

    It shows a more "complete" person who is not afraid of their emotions and that they trust the person they are with enough to be vulnerable.

    I actually found that being able to connect with emotions made quite a difference for my partner - allowing myself to cry during a film with emotional scenes (it was a scene when the husband had embarked on an epic journey - for him - to honour his wifes memory and bury their ashes in her hometown) or to a music video (James Blunt - Monsters) made them realise the improvements I have made in therapy in connecting emotionally.
