NER: Couldn't have come at a worse time
GMIL passed away yesterday. ?MIL, per usual, called my parents with the news saying that she had no way to get in touch with us (which is funny considering that she calls our number multiple times daily). ?So my parents again had to call DH and ask him to call MIL. ?
DH is crushed. ?GMIL raised him. ?The funeral is tomorrow morning, making it close to impossible for DH to get back in time. ?Even if he could, I wouldn't be able to go because of my current medical situation. ??
It's been a really crappy few days for us
Re: NER: Couldn't have come at a worse time
omg, I'm so sorry!
Maybe there could be another memorial service for the next time he's stateside? A lot of our church members are bicoastal, so they'll have memorials months after the death in a different location. Perhaps that's something you could help set up if you're in the position of wanting to do something but aren't sure what to do.
I'm so sorry.
I'm also sorry that his mother is so craptastic. Must make the loss of his grandmother even harder.
My dad missed his mother's funeral because he was in the hospital after a car crash. He was heart-broken. (more to the story in LLL's bio.) If your husband can't make it, is there someone he can get to read an eulogy he writes? I think it will help him.
(((hugs))) I'm sorry for your loss.
my read shelf:
Oh Katie, I'm so sorry to hear about your GMIL. Sometimes it seems like things just pile on, doesn't it?
You and your husband are in my thoughts.
sorry for him, and for you.
<hugs>
I am the 99%.
I'm so sorry Katie. I missed my grandfather's funeral when I was living overseas and it was terribly hard. I can't imagine what your husband is going through.
I have my fingers crossed that things will get better for you guys soon!!
