Saddness

Tammy I am so sorry to hear this news for you. I know how hard it is to lose family members, I lost my grandpa 1 week after I got married, it was horrible. Please know that you are in my thoughts.

Tammy, I am so sorry. I know words can sound a bit hollow at times like these, so let me simply say you will be in my thougths and my prayers

I am so very sorry, Tammy. He will be going to a better place, that is for sure.

Tammy I'm sorry to hear about your Granpa - I never knew mine they died before I was born.

Tammy...
As jj said, there's no words to express...
Please know my thoughts are with you and your family at this time and candles are lit!

My grandpa is who made me turn my life around when I was younger. He had a hand of steel when I got into trouble. But when he tells stories about me growing up, he says he never spanked me once. We live about 690 miles away. I am hoping to go and see them over memorial day.

Good idea to go and see him!

Tammy, I feel sad for you. It reminds me of my most favorite uncle who was struggling in his last days. Though, no one can change the destiny but its heart breaking when you see someone going through so much pain. You can comfort your grandpa by staying besides him. Maybe, your presence besides him will do some miracles and he will feel comforted.

Tammy,
I can't even tell you how sorry I am. I remember how painful it was to lose my Dad last year, sometimes the pain is actually physical. Just remember that nothing can ever change what he is to you and he'll always be there. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry Tammy, my prayers are with you.

Oh Tammy, I am so sorry to hear about that!! My grandparents meant the world to me and it about killed me when I lost them. I miss them dearly but I tell myself that I will see them again one day and that gets me through...and at times, I feel that they are still here and part of my life. I believe that there is another life outside of this one and we don't 'die', we move on. You will see them again one day, hold on to that in your heart. And as hard as it is to let go, our loved ones are in a better place with no pain and no suffering. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if I can do anything, even if its just to talk. Your beloved memories, will help you through this. hugs, shirley

I'm also sad too. My husband will be in Denmark until Wednesday, and I rarely see him already as it is, I just feel so alone. What's worse, is i had this dream last night about an old boyfriend walking back into my like, now I feel all f'd up.

Tammy, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tammy,I am so sorry about your grandpa.My mom lives with us now and has congestive heart failure too. She only has 22 percent of her heart working now. The one thing I will tell you is,5 years ago,when they first diagnosed her,they didn't thinh she would live very long,much less five years with only that much of her heart working. She is the last ,other thatn a brother who is worthless,of my living relatives left,so I know how hard it is for you. What I do is, make the most of what time I do have count,and listen to as many stories as possible so I'll always have those memories. Best of luck and my prayers are with you and your family...Karen

tammy i really wants to say to you that the most important thing in this world is love and compassion.the love that your grandfather always give to you always will be inside of you and INSIDE your soul.a person like your grandfather never really dies.you go to find him every day when you look your life,the person you are and the family you have.i'm sorry for your grandfather because is very sad when you cannot change the destiny and when my father dies (7 years ago)i just want to stop the time and revive him because he was so IMPORTANT TO me.
today in the present moment i understand that good people is good people and GOD NEVER FORGETS good people.good people goes to heaven and heaven is only for good people LIKE YOUR GRANDFATHER AND MY FATHER.

Tammy,

That really sucks. :( It's tough going through things like this.

In the span of 1 year and 8 months, the three support structures of my family passed away....First my Grandma Clara, who was the number one in the family..She kept us all in line and kept everyone together..He had emphasema, and developed dementia..She passed on Christmas Eve. Then in July of that same year, my aunt Connie was in a car accident, and was killed instantly. 1 year and 1 month later, my aunt June died of lung cancer...They found it 3 months prior when she was at the doctor getting her ribs checked out because she had fallen and thought she had broken her rib. They found a spot on her lung, and found that it had already spread to her brain and her glands...They said she probably had it for about 7 years.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. :( I hope the best for you and your family.

Our pastor says that the day we are born we begin dying as we all die eventually. I believe that God has a plan for each and everyone of us and when you have fulfilled that plan then your time on earth is over. Losing someone who you are so close to is extemely difficult as we all are saying. But, your memories of the good times and the lessons you have learned from your Grandpa will always be with you. My grandma died 9 years ago and I still find myself wanting to call her.
