I havent said anything.. but my Grandpa died on Friday.. He was 91. We were
busy with visiting and the services all weekend and yesterday. I went over
to my Moms today ( it was her Dad) .. She was so heart broken.. when I called
her this morning, she said she just hadnt really had time to greive. I took
lunch over to her and Dad.. My sister came over too and we just sat around
and talked about Grandpa. He had been sick for about 6 mos.. REALLY sick
for about 3 mos.. My mom and her 3 sisters took care of him round the
clock... They took "shifts" Mom and one of her sisters works a 40 hr job..
and her youngest sister had 2 teenagers and started going back to school this
semester ( she lost her job of 19 years in Oct.).. Anyway, it has been
stressful to say the least.. He's not in pain, he's gone and now everyone can
go on with thier lives.. Oh, except for now taking care of Grandma (
emotionally and mentally more than physically) They were married for 67
years.. Just imagine.. that many years together.. raising 7 children.... I
was thinking today. Grandpa retired at 65.. Thats almost 30 years they were
JUST THEM.. 24/7.. .. What a huge adjustment for Grandma. Anyway, one
reason I hadnt said anything is because I knew once I started writing, I
would start to ramble. :-)

My condolences to you and your family Teresa,
But what a wonderful, full and rich life he must have lived! and 67 years of
marriage!
I can't imagine how hard this is going to be on Grandma. Hugs to her....and
to the rest of your family... Is the talk about moving her in with someone
or would that be too hard on her too? To give up her independence and her
home.
hugs to you all,
be well,
Rachel Ann
