what i'm gonna say may or may not help...but...
at least you got to know her. when i was 7 my mom's mom died. when i was 9, my dad's mom died. and when i was 10, my mom's dad died. and my dad's dad, i've seen him 4 times in my entire life. he dont' give a fuck, never calls, never writes, or writes back or sends cards back anymore. he use to send me a happy birthday card OR an xmas card...but never called or cared to try to speak to me or see me. but he loves my cousin.
you've got a real special person there, and the fact that she impacted your life and helped you goes a long way and says a hell of a lot about the both of you. i know you'll miss her, anyone with a heart would. regardless of all these cats on here actin hard, they'd all cry if they're mom or grandmother's died.
just cherish the time you had with her and appreciate the fact that you got to know her and spend time with her.
like i said, them 3 died when i was young, along with my brother who died when i was like 2 years old.
real chop tho, slow down on the pills and drink. it won't help you in the long run. dealing with those feelings and thoughts will be the only true way for you to get over it...and being sober WILL suck, but it WILL help you. i been dealin with soem shit, nothing compared to what you are, but i quit fuckin with pills and gettin loaded and after a couple months i feel so much fuckin better...and i'm glad i didn't waste money on pills and drink and shit.
stay up pimp. you know where to find me....the detox! lol or pm me homey.
