DBF mom passed away......

[poutytink]

I am very sad. here we are 11 days away from Disney and being happy when this horrible thing had to happen. She died on 9/9 from a heart attack. She was only 61 years old. We are sooo worried about how his dad is going to be, especially when we are in Florida. I have his best friend and his family promising me that they will make sure he has dinner and check on him every night. I have a few other people in the neighborhood going to stop by too. My DBF has moved back into the family home so his father won't be totally alone. DBF father seems so lost...they were together for 43 years and loved each other very much. They were always together. I really loved her too. We are all going to miss her so.

Doesn't your DBF feel a little weird going away when his mom just died??

Sorry about your loss -

is your DBF an only child - maybe you should consider postponing your trip.

I already asked him that question. He sat down with his father and discussed it. His mom was really excited and happy that were were finally taking our trip ( we had already postponed it once when my DBF has HIS heart attack and triple-bypass surgery this past Nov.). She made me promise to take lots of pics and stuff like that. They both feel that she would want us to go. I left the decision up to the two of them. As long as they are OK with it, I am too.

I'm so sorry. Losing someone realtively young is so hard.
My Mom died at 62-you never thik it will happen at an age like that!
My husband's Mom died suddenly of a heart attack(she was 70) it was just so shocking!

That is too bad. I can't imagine you both having any fun, thinking about his mom and all. Hopefully he can try to though.

Disney is the perfect place to go to forget about life for awhile. If the Dad is being taken care of your boyfriend will need some time to think about his Mom. When he gets home he will have plenty of time to do things with his Dad.

Several months after my husband died I took the kids and I to WDW. It worked wonders in helping us heal.

I am sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your posting is so familiar to me as I lost my Mom on June 30 to a heart attack at age 61 and my parents had been married for 43 years as well. My thoughts are with you and your DBF.

I am so sorry.

So sorry to hear this - that is too young!

Try to have a good time when you go to WDW - I hope it will be a nice diversion for you both.

Thank you everyone for being so caring. DBF appricates it.

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost my dad very suddenly and unexpectedly 2 1/2 years ago. We had a disney trip planned for a couple of weeks after his death. I struggled with what to do. My kids who were 5 & 7 at the time had been looking forward to the trip. Everyone, including my mom encouraged us to go so we did, although it was very hard. I ended up talking my sister into going with us and for whatever reason this really helped me. Looking back, I think it was probably good that we went because otherwise it seemed like all I did was sit at home and either cry or get very angry about my dad's death. I wasn't being a very good mom or wife so getting away actually did some good I think. If you do decide to still go, please don't let anyone make you feel guilty about it. You'll make the right decision. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

I totally agree. We went to WDW 2 weeks to the day after FIL died and about a month after MIL passed away. These were trips that we really needed after some stressful times. It was a great way for DH to heal and yes, we did have fun. Don't feel guilty about going, I'm sure she would have wanted you to.
