Ash, i'm so sorry. I know how much it hurts to lose a grandfather. Mine was my favorite person in the world next to my mother. We did everything together when I was a child. Ice fishing was our favorite thing to do. It has been 21 years since he passed but I miss him still. At least memories last a lifetime. Hold yours close to you heart.

Sitting here weeping, recalling the pain...
Your poetic eulogy is just lovely, Ashi. And I have sailed on Barnegat Bay -- with my Uncle Sonny, my godfather, who is also gone now. My condolences to you and your wife.
Mulan,
My sister died at 43, eight years ago now, and I still find myself talking to her at times. I like to believe that she hears. Whether she does or not, it helps ME to do the talking and it keeps her presence near in memory.

So sorry for your loss.
I haven't talked to my Dad in about 1 1/2 years. I think I'll call him. So much foolishness/spite/pettiness to keep me away from the people I love. The fault is mine not his.
I hate death. Their is just so much loss. The emptiness is indescribable.
My Aunt, lost 4 boys. All tragically. I asked her how she manages (she's a JW). She said: "I just imagine that they have moved far from home. That through time and/or some other events we just haven't contacted each other."

I don't want to sound preachy, but just because all the damage that has been done to me by the WTBS I am not going to villify what I believe to be true, the bible.
I try to avoid thinking about it, but it does cross my mind, if I were to lose one of my children especially. Beleive me I truly would like to believe that they are somewhere better; that somehow life just made a transition for them. But I cannot just create something, just to make me feel better, to put me at ease.
I firmly believe that there will be a resurrection. Jesus demonstrated this. That God had given him the authority over death. I know, at this time that those seem like empty words, but we are wholly dependent upon God on this one.
I gave the talk at both my Grandfater's and cousins funeral. I believe those words I read from the bible. It's not a JW/Catholic/Jewish/etc thing, it's a bible thing.
May you have peace.
