OT: My FIL is finally at peace

[becpee]

Thoughts are with you all

 

[Ms. Shuttergirl]

ms shuttergirl - i am so sorry for the loss you and your family have experienced. it is horrid to lose someone you love at any time, however i know the struggles you have experienced and wish you all peace and happiness for the future.

my grandfather passed just before my 21st birthday and i got to spend a few hours with him before hand. the memories of being able to see him smile, his utter contentment at that moment and the feeling of his palm on mine as i got to hold his hand that last time bring me a huge deal of joy even 10 years later, knowing that he was happy in that moment. i know he truly is resting in peace and that is a memory i treasure and i know that your family will treasure their memories of those last conversations they had with him.

my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Thank you for sharing your story Alicia, it sounds like you got such comfort from that last time with your grandpa.

Ms. Shuttergirl sending you and your family lots of even when you are expecting it it still comes as a shock when it actually happens.

That last conversation is one of the hardest things i have ever had to do your children will remember that for the rest of their lives an it is an amazing blessing to have that opportunity and not think i wish i had been able to say goodbye.

Thank you for sharing love and prayers to you all during this time

Thanks so much WAMUM

Oh Miss shuttergirl I am so sorry for your loss. Its the hardest thing to lose someone u love. I live each day with the image of my grandfather who only passed a few mths ago. Its raw and painful but as time goes on I am told it gets better. At least he is no longer ill, my grandfather had a blood cancer and he was told he only had 2yrs at most to live. Well he wanted to "prove those *******s wrong" and he lived for 3yrs and 8mths. Its still a shock no matter how "ready" u think you are for it. Hugs hugs and more hugs. I actually found reading the disboards a good distraction at times....but at other times I couldn't come near here

I have found the Disboards a "soft place to land" on many occasions. I love it here and it really helps me escape reality at times.

We are relieved he is at peace, thanks Mumfromoz
