Death
My grandfather passed away at the end of July. It was expected as he had been diagnosed as terminal a few months before.
His funeral was this weekend, but we couldn't go because DH was sick and it was a long drive, we decided too long (involved a few hours and a ferry) for me and LO (with LO needing to breastfeed).
Just last night DH's grandfather passed away. very unexpected. he had a heart attack.
DH is devastated. I am in disbelief. I really liked this grandfather and they were coming to town in about a month to see LO. It is hard to believe we aren't going to see him again. I don't know what DH's grandmother is going to do without him.
Also, I don't know if DH is going to be able to go to a funeral (if they have one). the plane tickets are expensive, he started his job only a few months ago (and his boss doesn't like to have him gone - it would be unpaid), and LO and I need him here.
I know it is going to be a tough next couple weeks/months.
My mom said to be thankful that neither death coincided with LO's birth, and I know I should be thankful. It is a lot all at once though.

I'm sorry, Cinderin.
My maternal grandfather died in Nov 2011 and my paternal grandfather followed six weeks later. I did get to go to both services, but learned that the saying is true - funerals are for those who are left behind. You can find other ways to celebrate their lives, grieve the losses, and remember them. My thoughts are with you.

Lesson learned!!
I didn't get to go to my great-grandfather's funeral because of cost of flights (we were living in FL at the time. He was in PA). It broke my heart.
Find ways to celebrate their lives and relive the good times. They are a always watching over you.
Many T&Ps for you and your family.
