Prayers strongly needed please - UPDATED AGAIN post 58

:hug: TO you..

We are all here for you. Come if and when you can..

I think great suggestions have been made about reading and possibly the children making something for this..

They will rebound, and be fine in time, as will you. Right now this seems impossible, but it all will be fine in time. In the meantime, please watch your health, and your children's...All 3 of them..
 
I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find strength and comfort in your family and faith.:grouphug:
 
So sorry for your loss. :(
:grouphug:
 
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I wanted to share my story because it might help. My grandmother passed away on January 3, 2007. My daughter is 5 years old. Since my mother watches my daughter every day, DD saw her great grandmother every day for a few hours. She was very close to her great grandmother. When she died, i was trying to explain it to DD and she started to cry but said atleast her memere is with the angels. She seemed very comforted by that. A few days after she passed, DD was looking at a ceiling fan that had an angel hanging on it and said that is memere, an angel....
You might see that your children are sad, but they can suprise you on how they react. Again, i am very sorry for your loss.....

Oh Melissa dear, bless your heart, I am so sorry :sad1: . I know your heart is broken with the loss of your Poppy, but rest assured that he is resting in peace with his creator, out of all pain and suffering. His memories are tucked safely in your heart and will help guide you through all your ups and downs.

Far as your children, like aready suggested, a drawing or writing letters is a wonderful idea. Other things I've seen done at service, is to place their pictures with him around during service, let each grandchild pick out a flower and make a bouquet for his casket, maybe release balloons in his honor. All this makes them feel a part of his love on earth and now in heaven and is such good therapy for them.

Remember, he would foremost want you to take care of yourself and your little blessing. I send continued prayers for you and your family at this difficult time dear. :hug:
 
Im sorry for your loss Melissa. You and your family are in my thoughts. Please try to take good care of yourself. :grouphug:
 
Thank you again everyone, I can't thank you enough.

We waited until the girls got out of school yesterday to tell them. They actually took it worse then I thought and I felt so helpless. My 7 year old kept breaking down when she was by herself when she was coloring or playing a video game. Without anyone asking, she wrote a letter to her Poppy and brought it out to my grandmother, it was sad but touching and my grandmother is insisting it be displayed at the funeral. My 5 year old is the chatty one, she is sad but she has more comments and things to say then to cry. Both of them are so sweet in their own ways. We were at my grandparents house for the day yesterday, family friends came in and out. Details are being finalized for his funeral which will be on Saturday.

I need to find some info on how to explain cremation to my kids. He is being cremated today or tomorrow and his ashes will be at the funeral. My 5 year old is very sensitive, she has weird thoughts and bad dreams and one of them is the house being on fire and burning. So I don't know how to go about this. I could just not say that the urn is his ashes but I think they know that funerals involve the loved one being there and they will ask where he is and I don't want to lie to them. I'm so confused and frustrated.

:hug: I am so sorry you lost your Poppy. Nobody will ever take his place.

My dad passed away quickly, only 2wks from the time he recieved his cancer diagnosis. He wasn't my real dad, he was my step-dad, but he was the Dad of my Heart :flower3: It was a terrible loss to all of us, including the grandchildren who had never known another grandfather. At the funeral we allowed them to put things in his coffin if they liked. One child put in Granpa's coffee cup, another put a statue of Jesus, one wrote a poem. My daughter didn't know what to put in there, so she just put in a brownie, "so he won't be hungry" :goodvibes

Your children will surely miss him, but they will survive. In fact, they'll probably handle better than you will. Kids are resilient. Try to get some rest now. You've had a terrible time :grouphug:
