Thank you. I think the moment I started fearing death and thinking about it was when my grandfather died in March. It was the day after my birthday and a week before we planned to go to Queensland for the Commonwealth Games. The moment my dad told me he had died I asked if the doctors could bring him back. But the reality is that he had died. Sr first I didn't believe him so I rang up my mum and she said yes he did die. I then bursted out crying and cured for the next hour. The thing that made me guilty is that night we were opening presents for my birthday so I my mum left the hospital to do the presents then went back with my brother. I said I would go and see him tomorrow but unfortunately there was no tomorrow for him. He had been in the hospital for a few months but he wasn't truly bad that we expected him to die but that day he deteriorated very quickly and ultimately died if liver failure. It went so quick and I'm angry that I didn't see him that day. I usually never kissed him, I gave him a handshake and he called me the cornel. I kissed his forehead before I left the room. That is when it hit me and I've been thinking about death ever since.

Perfectly natural response. Don't shy away from it. Embrace it. Death is as much a part of life as life itself. Situations like these can't be hidden from or avoided - you have to live through them. The best thing you can do is to talk about it whether with us, a counsellor, a trusted friend or, ideally, with your family.
I don't have really have much to add other than the fact that I found on Monday evening that my grandmother has terminal leukaemia and only has months to live (I had also come back from an appointment at headspace for something unrelated, so that was a bit of a double whammy). Learning of the news left me in a bit of a trance and not knowing how to react (although it did give me a lump in my throat).
The point Grandsun is that you're not alone and basically talk to someone, regardless of whether it's family, friends, counsellor or someone here.
Also I think it may be worth linking to the depression & anxiety thread on the front page: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...4636-lifeline-131114-resources-in-op.1120242/

Guys Rhett Biglands liked my post and commented. I think I’ve cheered up from the Port loss.

Yeah I've been on this theme on desktop for a while now. Was a bit weird at first but got used to it pretty quickly, its perfectly fine. I'm not too fond of the new mobile theme though (feels a bit cluttered), but hopefully I'll just get used to that too.

While he's in the room, tell Chief the new mobile version reminds you of a dribble kick.

I KNEW I wasn't going insane. There was something off about how BF looked. What's the reasoning behind this intrusion on my liberty to decide my theme?
Yes I'm not a fan of this new theme it's so hard to navigate

My only issue is that the Watched Forums button isn't in the spot it used to be, other than that I find it fine.
As most people would be aware, I'm aiming and have a passion for journalist and sports media/broadcasting. Well I have some exciting news for everyone but just need to wait for the remaining details to be confirmed before I announce it. Stay tuned!!

This kinda wants to make me go and do away jumpers for all the teams at some point.
