Good vent. Right now your life does suck. Let it suck. Don't try to wish the suckiness away or think that you should feel any other way. Feel sad, feel angry, feel ripped off... because it all applies. There are days, probably before you lost your grandkids, when life seemed ok, maybe even good. Not today. You are allowed to feel whatever you feel.
One thing I would guess that you need is somebody to talk to. Do what ever you need to do to hook up with a grief/loss counselor. They might be able to direct you to some groups of people who are forced to deal with what you have to deal with. They are the only people who can understand you right now. Find them. You deserve good things.

I am so sorry you have had to endure some terrible events. Have had a lot of the same. Right now I wish I could have been born a tear in your eye, run down your cheek and die on your lips. For those who have been unkind to you, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits.
When life gives you lemons...make lemon aid!!!

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. I wrote my feelings in a journal, cried, and kept my faith in God. Remember the poem "Footprints."
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
This WILL pass.

tell your husband your not crazy and tell him to stop leaving his underwear on the floor o you wont wash it. Pat your dog and cats, because they make you happy (they do its something to do with the releae of some chemical when you pat an animal). Make some friends! Join some sort of club, maybe even a support group for grandparents who have lost grandchild.

Hollywood,
I feel your pain. It sounds like things are rough for you. You're not alone. There are so many women that are in your same position, saddled with lazy sacks. You should see the stories on our website.

your life sucks because you suck. if you don't like your life then change what you can and deal with the rest. shut up and quit whining.
