What a crappy ending to a good week...

Got a call from my wife this morning. As she is trying to hold back the tears, she tells me that she has just found out her Grandfather was found dead, slumped over in his wheelchair. His daughter found him while she was taking him breakfast. He was well over 90 years old and has lived a full life, he was in a wheelchair due to an amputated leg last year. No one expected this, my wife feels the usual "I went by his house just the other day and saw him sitting on the front porch, and didnt stop by" (she was running errands while working) I try to console her, but you know how a Grandfather can be to "little Grandpa's girl" I was able to help her feel a little better by remindeing her of what he used to say "I cant wait to go see Grandma" She died in 1993..

Sorry to hear about your loss. Things will get better with time. Nothing you do will make things any better, only time can help.

Sorry to hear that man..

Condolences to you and your family. I pray comfort and peace to all of you in this difficult time.

My prayers are with you and your family also, cc_penguin.

Don't allow your wife to accept any guilt for any actions or inactions she feels responsible for. Everyone has regrets when a loved one passes away, but guilt is never beneficial or constructive.

Peace.

Sorry about your family's loss. You will be in our prayers.

My sympathies to you & your family cc_penguin.

eek! Im sorry, I know how it is to loose a loved one.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It's never easy, but it is comforting to know he was going to see Grandma.

Thanks to you all.

The Mrs. certainly has an amount of pain, but with the age of her Grandfather, its just something that you try to prepare yourself for (if such a thing is possilbe). It did however, make her feel a little better when I told her about him being with her Grandma again, he would say that all the time. Along with all of your kind words. Thanks once again.
You gotta admire someone that welcomes death. And I truly think he did...

My condolences as well.

Im so sorry CC

My grandmother meant the world to me also and the loss is trully understandable. Time is the healer. Never forget the past and it will make your future.
One day souls will be rejoined and the love will be reunited. I beleieve that they are always watching over and that gives me the peace to move on. They knew they were loved and thats what matteres.
Hang in there and from our family to yours we are sorry for your loss and hope time will ease your pain.

Thanks for the kind words once again all, I will be out for a few days, as family starts to pour in. (Ya gotta love these huge indian families) We even have some coming in fom New Mexico.
And Morticia, I lost my Grandmother last year around this same time. I must say, carrying her to the grave had to be one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life, it still brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.

Mrs Penguin sends her thanks as well for the prayers and kind words. They are Greatly appreciated!!!

I am very sorry to hear that as well. Its never easy losing a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Prayers and kind thoughts for you and your family, cc.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

You'll be in for a rough time ahead but you'll be able to see it through I'm sure.
