Funeral tomorrow

[melbrown]

Tomorrow Grandpa's funeral, technically my husband's, but to me he was also Grandpa. He dyed 2 weeks ago tonight, its hitting me again.... been so focused with work (costume store, very very busy) finally having a moment to breathe....I know he lived a full happy life, he made it to 96... & was in pretty good health. But still 😢.... The in family fighting isn't helping (2 of the children of Grandpa's aren't speaking- $$$) I have my whole outfit ready, even found my beautiful handkerchief my sister gave me. And I told my husband if his relatives start being disrespectful I will walk away. My mother in law will be there (My husband's parents are divorced, but she loved him too) & staying night with us....

Hi Mel

Really sorry to hear about your loss, sounds like he had a good life so I hope the funeral is a fitting tribute

It sad when family members fall out over inheritances. I hope for you that what you are worried about doesn't happen. My family got spilt in two when my grandma died, all of her children arguing about who should get this/that. As far as I was concerned my Grandma had a will, which was HER decision and if they couldn't respect that then they didn't deserve to get anything. Sadly all of the older sibling fell out and are still not speak ing 20 years later.

Anyway try not to let all this ruin your celebration of his life and remember the good times you shared, sounds like he was an important influence on your life, so it's bound to effect you.

Take care, I really hope it goes smoothly

Hugs and best wishes

Mark

Hi Mark. Thank you for your reply. It is truly sad when a family breaks up because if who feel what they deserve as inheritance.... My husband's Aunt & husband won't even be in the same building as her brother who is his parent's trustee, going on since before grandma past like 3, 4 years ago. It broke our hearts, because she wouldn't even do holidays as a family .... & Grandpa knew why.... these are 60+ y/o adults, they should know better. We aren't expecting anything, it's Grandparents' wishes & should be respected. Having wonderful people in your life is important.... He gave me the gift of a grandpa's love & to me that's priceless. I am sorry what happened when your grandma died. It's sad, especially when the love one would not want that to happen.

Hope you have beautiful weekend.💛

It was a beautiful service.... grandpa was loved by many. He was such a sweet, caring, funny man, a great doctor.... there was sharing of stories of him. Feeling all the love people had for him, made it hard to be sad.... He had a rich full life. For the 17+ years I've been with my husband, grandpa & grandma always treated me as family. Going to their home felt like going home. I'm going to miss him horribly. But looking at all my in-laws, I know his still here.

Oh I'm so sorry for the repose of your grandpa. Mine reposed away 25 years ago and I was so close to him but guess what ? They are still with us! God Bless you, your husband and grandpa! Prayers and love for you ~ Lisa
