I feel terrible!

Just a quick update to the MIL situation. DH's mom came over last night to see the baby and I was really happy she finally got to hold her, but unfortunately DH's dad passed away last night. =( I feel terrible I was so insensitive to how his mom was feeling. I can't imagine what she is going through. I think I am just hormonal from giving birth and a little too sensitive. =/

Re: I feel terrible!

  • Bonnie - i'm so sorry for your family's loss!! I'll keep you all in my thoughts.
  • Oh Bonnie, I'm so sorry your FIL has passed away. I can't even imagine what your MIL (and your DH too!) must be feeling right now, especially so close to holidays!! Please don't beat yourself up about how you were feeling about the whole situation! It is totally understandable for you to have felt the way that you did. And all you can do right now is really be there for your MIL and your DH. I'm sure Samantha will know about her grandfather through you and your family. Hang in there! Big {{hugs}} to all of you in such difficult time.
  • Bonnie, I am so sorry. My condolences to you and your family.

  • I am so sorry for your loss. It is going to be an extremely difficult time for everyone involved.

    Don't beat yourself up though. Your feelings were valid/understandable, as was what your mother in law was/is going through.  We're all just human...

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)
  • Dear Bonnie, I am so sorry for your family's loss and that you are going through a tough time with this.  All you can do now is be supportive for your husband and MIL. Don't beat yourself up about it.  Your feelings are your feelings and it is a tricky and emotional situation to be in.  Sending love to your family...
  • Bonnie, I am so sorry for your loss.  You are in my thoughts today.  Like the others said, don't feel badly about how you were feeling.  You were having a normal reaction and you were being a mommy.  Please send my condolences to your DH and MIL.

  • Bonnie, I'm sorry to hear about your FIL. Don't beat yourself up on how you were feeling.  We all have those moments where it's hard to see outside of your viewpoint. 
  • Sorry to hear about FIL. You'll turn it around, because right now you'll be very supportive. I think Baby Samantha will be a great distraction for the family. Is she the only grandchild? Maybe put her picture near his casket at the wake, if it works out. The bittersweet truth is as one passes away, another is born.
