My Grandfather-hours from death; what 's next? (page 2)

Hi Ashi,

So sorry for your grief now. I'm sure next year will be better for you.

Warmly,
Pat

Ash:
I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather's empending passing. I can tell you what helped me cope when my father passed away 29 years ago. Ask for a memento, something that meant a lot to him. Having that item close and holding it helps.
My father was in his fifties when I was born so he was more like a grandfather to me. He used to put me on his lap when I was a small child and play his harmonica for me. I absolutely loved it. I asked for that harmonica when he died and it is my greatest treasure. When I hold that harmonica I feel like a part of him is still with me.

Man, you've had quite a couple of week's huh? I'm so sorry sweetie. My heart hurts for you. So many have said such wise things. Mommie Dark...you are too right! Ashi, you are your Grandfather's legacy. Live it out!

I've not lost a grandparent yet, thankfully. But I think maybe losing a grandparent is hard, because grammas and grampas are so unconditionally loving. They are the coddlers and spoiler and lovers. I have a set of grandparents that aren't like that, but my other set is. I would hate to lose them! I have nothing but fond memories of them.

I'll be praying for your and your familie's comfort Ash.

ashitaka - my thoughts are with you, I lost a grandfather just three weeks ago so I can understand and sympathise completely with the situation you are facing.

It is so strange when you lose someone, suddenly there is a gap in the family which can be so hard to come to terms with, I just try to console myself with the fact that I spent time with him just the day before he died and he always knew that he was loved, even though we never really told each other!

As for what happens next, I have no ideas. And for now I am happy to not know, maybe that will change when I am faced with my own end. For now I am content to just wait and see.

I hope all your memories of him will be happy ones and remember that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

Ashie-So sorry to hear your walking through the valley-It is hard.
Just know the way you speak about him is a tribute- As long as you have good memories he will not die in your heart.
May the LORD be with you as you walk through these days.
Whats next? I believe he will have his heart examined by God. Since none of us sees that. lets leave it to God. Maybe you will meet him in HIS MANSION.Hugs

Ash - (((hugs))) to you and your family. I am not much for praying these days, but definitely wish comfort and good things for you.

Your post brought back memories of my grandfather on my mom's side. He passed away when I was 12 years old.

Never a JW - was LAPD starting in the 1920's until he retired in the late 1940's. He drank, gambled and smoked heavily, however, was a very interesting man to be around and had some incredible stories of Los Angeles. One of his favorite pasttimes was reading westerns by Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour. He read to me when we visited, and gave me some of his books to read. Still miss him.

All best,
Makena

Ashi, sorry for the past couple of weeks you've been having.

Why not do something esoteric, like name a star for your grandad, or buy a brick if they're building a stadium or something in your city?

These little things allow that person's name to go one--sort of like a way to prove they were really here, after all.

Hugz to ya, Ashi.
