Just a rant about JW and blood transfusions.

I always new my grandma died young (44, mid 1970s), my dad was 19 and the oldest of 5 kids but his youngest siblings was only 6. My dad passed away at 59, almost 10 years ago and we never really discussed it. I recently, at my uncle's funeral, found out she could've been saved if she'd had surgery. But apparently no surgeon would do it on platelets alone and she wouldn't have full blood as a jehovah's witness.

I kinda just feel sad/mad that she chose religion over her kids. No 6, 8, 15, 17 & 19 year old should have to go through losing their mum. I also feel like s big hypocrite cuz I had a mental breakdown at the beginning of the year and nearly took my own life and would've left a 3, 5, 9, 8 and 14 year old behind 😑😔

Lose is so hard. Living is so hard too.
