My son's wife died of the shot....got it less than 24 hours ago....now we have to tell my granddaughter her mom is gone......I am lost my friends
I should add that my granddaughter is with her father and had not been told as of yet....her pop-pop called to tell her dad...he called me right away
Everyone gathered at 11:00 and my granddaughter was told about her mom.....16 people came to lend support and show Livi the love she has all around her......about two hours later as we were all getting our eyes dry she turns to me and says "Don't worry grandpa, I'll be all right." Wasn't a dry eye in the house....a remarkable little girl....I know full well it hasn't fully sunk in but she was doing her best to process it all.
AGAIN...thank you all for YOUR support in these trying times....God bless you all!!
Quoting: The Old Timer First and foremost: I am sorry. Experiencing the death of the loved ones is a great pain. Nothing I can say will ease your pain. Nothing.
There is a universal teaching with those who have died: cry with them, have a hard time with them because you will not see them anymore, and cry again when you recognize that you really loved them. And cry, and remember.
When you assume, out of weariness or belief, that the death of family members is a real "gift" to you: a reminder of the fragility of our existence on earth, perhaps you will learn to value the living, intimately.
daugther-in-law is eternal. We don't die, we change the focus. It hurts us, legitimately, because we will never see her again, but, like everyone else, she existed, exists and will exist.
Have a good heart and good thoughts. And fell what you need...
Remember her for her goods and bads with great compassion.
Do not judge... and learn
My condolences.
