I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know your grandfather is at peace, and happy to again be with his beloved wife.

Have a safe trip, and be sure to let us know when you return.

Sorry to hear of your Grandfather's death. When a long married couple loses their mate they often lose the will to go on without them and are soon gone too. After my Mother passed away, while visiting him, I asked Dad where he'd like to go. I never ask again. His reply: "In the grave next to your Mother is the only place I care about going."

Bless your Dad's heart...he's sustained huge losses in a very short time. Hope one day he'll have an extra star in his heavenly crown for always being strength for others.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

So sorry for your loss. Those darn broken hips have been the downfall of many elderly people. My Mom has dimentia because her surgery was 8 hours and she was 78 at the time.

Sending caring thoughts to the whole family, and wishes for great strength to your father at this time.

So sorry for your loss. Will keep your dad, you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

so sorry to hear about your grandpa.
It seems it happens a lot like that with long time married couples....I think the same thing will happen with my parents. So sad. Prayers for your family.

Stephanie, I'm sorry for the loss of your grandpa. And so soon after your gramma. But, you know they're together again like they'd want to be. Prayers for your dad, you, and the whole family.

So sad for your family. Hugs to your dad, you and all your family. Have a safe trip.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May good memories comfort you!

Sending comforting thoughts to you, and wishes for a safe trip.

Oh my gosh! What a sad situation and it happens so often that way. Know that your grandfather is at peace and no longer suffering.

My mom told me that the day my dad died she didn't know how the world was gonna keep turning nd she, herself, couldn't have cared less if she lived or died. (They were married 57 years.) She says a lot of days are still that way.

Give your dad a big ol hug and do all you can to show him your love and support.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I think of my grandparents a lot and miss all of them.

Sending caring thoughts to your family . I'm very sorry.

Stephanie, I hope your dad and the rest of your family will feel at peace knowing that Grandpa is with Grandma and they are no longer in any kind of pain. I'm glad that you feel peace, because that's what you should feel.
Love & Prayers to you and yours,

Steph,
Sincere sympathy to you & your family. I always thought my Grandparents were like permanent fixtures in my life and would always be there.
Treasure your fond memories over your lifetime..as they can never be taken from you.

I offer my condolences and best wishes, as well.

I am pleased that you have that feeling of peace in your heart ... it takes many people a long time to come to that place in their mourning journey. I hope that you haven't short-circuited some of them.

Good wishes to you and the others who loved and cared about your grandfather, during the coming days.

It is true that many couples, especially in earlier generations when there were fewer activities going on, come to depend so heavily upn one another that when one dies, the other feels little reason to go on living and just waits for death, him/herself.

Many wives of recent retirees who have few other interests become very frustrated at having that person around underfoot so much: their house used to be "theirs" for a good portion of each day/week/year ... but that was the situation no longer.

Many partners in a very loving relationship also have a number of other interests ... which would please their wives just after they retire ... and will help them become adjusted to single living, after the death of the partner.

I am just now seeing your post. I am sending you and your family my sympathy and prayers.

Stephanie, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather's death, especially since your family hasn't had time to adjust being without your grandmother. You, your father, and the rest of your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope you continue to feel peace knowing that both your grandparents were so very loved.

Take care of your father; he's going to need your attention. I know the grief will continue to sneak up on him in the months ahead.

Hugs to all of you,

My condolences on all the losses in your family--I'll hold you in my heart.

And your dad too--that's got to be hard for him, to get such a sudden and bitter "promotion."
