My grandma is dead :( Unexpected reaction to the cement used around a pin in a routine hip operation, though obviously her general declining health is not coincidental.

You can tell where I get my non-hugginess from, I said to mum that I'd give her a hug if I was there and she pointed out that neither of us would enjoy it, so I should give agnostic prayers (grandma was agnostic too, mum isn't. I wonder if she'll have a religious funeral like dad did for his atheist father. Hmm)

And then we talked about how I was evil for introducing my sweet innocent (lol) 23 year old brother to True Blood, because we're not big on talking about our feelings in my family.

Speaking of which: no supportive comments! Links to cheerful things will be accepted but are not mandatory, this is the sort of slow burn sad that doesn't suit that sort of thing so much.

I wouldn't have minded so much if the priest hadn't have been kind of a smug prat about it.

uuugh, fuck smug priests! >:(

And then there's the fact that if grandma was any religion it was jewish

OK, for some reason that bothers me. (The not-Jewish funeral part, not the being Jewish part.) Possibly the whole appropriation/whitewashing/whatever thing. Though I wonder if there's a way to make some kind of mixed ceremony, or if that would just muck up the whole thing. >_>

Having spoken to mum, grandma didn't want a funeral at all, so we're just having a wake. Which neatly sidesteps the problem :)

I love it when things work out nicely! :D
