That looks like a brilliant way to mourn. You may be sad now, but have been weightless. You have cried, but had air literally blasted into you. It’s feeling the two extremes that keep you balance apparently. Hang in there uncle aggy. I love ya, sending strong comforting virtual hugs, and prayer 💜
Dear @aggroed – thank you so much for sharing in such an open, unabashed way. Though I'm sincerely sorry to hear of your loss, I'm grateful to know you have this kind of meaningful ritual, no matter how atypical it may be.
I staunchly disagree that you're showing weakness of any kind. On the contrary, I'd argue that being authentically vulnerable is the greatest indicator of deep inner strength, revealing integrity rather than fragility.
Your willingness to be honest and transparent with all of us is, in my opinion, the mark of a truly great leader.
I hope the sting of your loss softens over the coming days – that you allow yourself all the time you need to truly grieve.
'There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.' - Washington Irving
I am sorry for your loss. I relate to it, and you more because of it.
My baby brother died suddenly in April. He was 51. Per normal, my mourning really came on my motorcycle as I rode the 1500 miles to his place. It was mostly cold and miserable and nasty, perfect weather to remember and mourn my brother.
I appreciate that you shared this part of you with us. Thank you.
I'm sorry to hear you longing for your uncle. Life is always like that, people come and go. My father died in 2016 but it was like yesterday and it's like he's not gone 'coz I dream about him everynight. His voice is fresh in my imaginations til it says it's okay . Whenever he is now, he is very proud of his chemist nephew for sure and the PALnet leader. So I'd really agree that Steemit is the broken heart club to tell our sentiments in life.
Me and vachemorte have looked into doing this, I have to admit it does seem very cathartic, it must feel kind of freeing to just let the air take control of you like that and just float. I'm sorry again to hear about your loss, it sounds like your uncle had a great life, ❤️hugs❤️
First of all sad to hear now after your mother your uncle has also passed away. I pray they rest in peace. However floating in the wind an amazing feeling it would. And for sure ability to feel that you are floating would be difficult bit of piece. However it for sure out of all the hardships will be amazing and wonderful. Hope to enjoy it.
Trust me i know the feeling. I remember my dad. It clocked 3 years on Feb 14 that he died. It was tragic. Three days earlier i was with him and told him i was bringing my girlfriend home to see him as he has always asked of her.
Three days later, we were there beside him beside his sick bed. It was sudden and quick. He had no time to talk with me. He was frail. He breathe his last in my arms.
Please keep my family in your prayers for a bit.
Sure I will.
I understand what it feels like to lose a loved one especially those very dear to us.
Coupled with the fact that you have a family and a Job that still takes off You, I can imagine how strong you are.
How pained you are but still show off and show us the bright and happy sides.
You are an amazing person.
I read stories from @teardrops and several people's story and I've noticed strength in weakness.
I'm happy you are still holding yourself together.
You need it, your family needs it, those around you needs it .
I don't know if you are a religious person but the holy book says "God is faithful, he would never give us a burden greater than us".
I lost my father suddenly... a call from my brother at 2am on a Monday night... and he was gone. Thanks for sharing your story. You and your family are in our prayers.
So sorry about your loss. It must have been so hard. Hmmmm uv gots lots of experiences, good, bad and ugly. @aggroed Nevertheless having a great family like Steemians is a great deal. We love youuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I @oredebby loves you
I don't think your approach is off the wall at all. I like to go jet skiing if i can anytime but in situations like that too. Nothing like wind blowing 50 mph and water splashing in your face. I haven't tried indoor skydiving but sounds like a good way to unwind.
Life is full of ups and down a human being saw many happiness and somegime sadness too so be still my friend have faith and live a happy life thabk you god bless you
So sorry about your uncle's death..
Great post.....I understand what you must be going through.
But this is life and we must all go through this pain. My prayers are with your family.
Stay strong
thanks for sharing @aggroed
The death of a loved one is an event that all of us is likely to experience during our lifetimes.
Dealing effectively and positively with grief caused by such a loss is central to your recovery process and your ability to continue with and fulfill your own life for the better.
My prayers are with your family!
Going through the post I could feel the pain and really sorry about your loss. Now your uncle is gone, the least you do is to keep your aunt closer, I know she reminds you of your mum.
You may not be the image of the guy you put out there but the image most of us see, is a good man loved by Steemians and got a blockchain family online. Be strong
So sorry about your loss, may his soul rest in peace. Stay strong for us and your family, will put you and your family in my prayers. May the lord give you the strength to bear your loss and carry on. You deserve unlimited happiness cos you put smiles on people with what you do here. Stay stronger than ever
So sorry about your uncle's death..
I understand what you must be going through.
But this is life and we must all go through this pain. My prayers are with your family.
Stay strong
You have being strong even after loosing 2 family members of yours.....god bless you. and as always very beautifully you have described all the mixed feelings going inside you.
My maternal grandfather passed away on my birthday in 2013, 3 days before his 86th birthday. I spent the day in carrying states of "it's my birthday, I can't wait to party!" and bawling my eyes out. Later that night, I went and saw Gabriel Iglesias at one of the local casinos. And that was probably the best thing for me, because it distracted me from the mourning. Even if only for a few hours. I needed that...
So yeah, I kinda see where you're coming from on this one.
My condolences. The anniversary of my dad passing was not long ago, and it can be hard. Based on your description of his impact on your life, on how he lived his life, it sounds like he was a good man who lived life on his terms. It is always an honor to have such people around us to reinforce our foundations.
@aggroed, I am sorry for your loss, I had the wind knocked out of me last week as well, when i found out a very good friend of mine was found lying on his floor, no one is quite sure what happened yet.
The way you grieve the passing of your loved ones, is personal to you and whatever way you choose to do that is your prerogative. In actuality I think its a great way to have some alone time to console yourself.
my thoughts are with you at this time. All the time and effort you spend helping us all out is much appreciated. Stay Strong!!
Hey. Thank you for this post and sorry for the loss. I lost my mom last last year and since I live halfway around the world was not able to spend much time with her near the end. I do not know every small detail of what went on with her toward the end but I do know that I loved her immensely and she did me and in the end that is really the only thing that matters.
This life is so strange. Just as you begin to figure things out you are in physical decline. But in a weird way, if you back away from it a bit it all kind of makes sense.
We are here to experience and to take each event as a moment in time and to appreciate it. To do this we have to slow down a bit and take it all in. We must also learn about ourselves and what we need to gain some balance. It sounds like you have done that.
Stay strong and know that your Uncle is always with you and understood everything you never got to say. Keep learning and keep being a great person. You will be fine as he is now. God bless your Uncle, you and your family.
An interesting thing for men, is that activity is often the best for grieving. Such as digging the grave. Men are most in touch with who they are when doing things. Its how we are wired.
So, falling towards the floor, like a brick doesn't sounds like a great way to get yourself back in balance.
@aggroed, First of all, I am sorry for your lost... I hope everything is ok with you right now, this is our life and soon we will follow our loved ones at the right time. My mother DIed this December last year...
Your practice skydiving in that isolated area is really amazing! That was my dream... I am planning to experience the skydiving here in Dubai once I gathered the money that I need. It was 2,000 AED only with back up when you jump. In dollar is around $544.51, 1 jump!
I feel envy to you, you have your shots on skydiving even this is just the beginning. Take good care of your health also brother... Looking forward to your real jumping from the sky!!! (^_^)
You are a fast learner!!! I was shouting when saw you flying with your teacher! Hahaha

One day I wanna try the real thing.

Sorry about your loss buddy, everyone copes differently, there's really no 'proper or right' way in my opinion.
I am sorry for your loss. We all grieve and cope in different ways. Skydiving is as good as any other way! I will pray for your family.
