Yeah, I hear ya. Seeing my grandpap that way didn't make it any better. I can't imagine what he went through or anyone in that situation.
Seeing him hunched over her after she passed away just got me thinking about how at one point they were just starting their life, their family and now she's gone. It's so depressing.
My grandma and grandpap were inseparable and now that she's gone my grandpap is just lost without her. I try to spend as much time as I can with him so he's not sitting in the living room alone when he would usually be sitting there with my grandma.
How long has it been since your grandpa passed away?
He died in May '07. I try to do the exact same thing you do and keep my Grandma company as much as I can. They were pretty much inseparable too, and seeing how devastated she was, it was absolutely heartbreaking. It makes me feel better when I see how happy she gets when we drop in to visit every week. She's a lot better now but you can still tell it hurts her to have lost him.
Thanks mate. The thing with my reading was I had no knowledge of it until an hour before the actual funeral. I hate speaking in front of large crowds, and believe me, my grandpa had A LOT of friends, family and well wishers. It didn't bother me in the slightest speaking in front of a few hundred people because it wasn't about me, it was about him. So I sucked it up and it was easier than I thought it would be but it still was very hard at the same time.
