I normally don't do this, but I know that others have so I wanted to ask for some prayers for my family.

My grandfather passed away unexpectedly last night. He's been in frail health and was hospitalized with a bleeding ulcer this past week, but was home and feeling much better. My dad just talked to him last night and he told my dad how great he was feeling. Then, today we received word that he passed in his sleep last night. I don't think it's quite sunk in yet, as I'm mostly in shock right now. I haven't even cried much (just enough to make my nose bleed, stupid allergies...), though I am shaking.

Sorry for my rambling, it's hard to think right now.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. What a blessing for him that he was able to go in his sleep, and at his own home. He is in a better place but it is so hard for the people who are left behind. I've been there too! Your family will be in my prayers. Take care.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the thoughts and prayers.

He was my dad's dad and my parents were just out there a week and a half ago visiting. Now they're really glad that they got to see him. Plus, my dad was supposed to leave to go back to Africa today. We're glad that he hadn't been there, or on the way. It would have been a bit more of a hassle. We're leaving tomorrow to head out there. We have to fly to Denver and then drive to Casper because there weren't any flights to Casper. I'm a little worried about my school, since I'll be missing a french oral exam, 2 psychology exams, and a music history final. I've emailed my professors, so I'm hoping that they'll let me take them next week. If not, I'll have to take incompletes and retake them this summer, not what I want to do. And Target's mad at me (I think) for calling in for the next week. I have to call back tomorrow and talk to the team relations manager. It's kinda frustrating.

I'm just glad that he's in a better place now. He'd really been missing my grandma who died two and a half years ago. She died of pancreatic cancer and was in tremendous pain in her final days. We're all thankful that my grandpa never had to go through that too. We're still just in shock that it happened. It's the type of phone call that no one wants to hear. I still don't think it's fully sunk in yet.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know what you're going through right now. My grandfather passed away 2.5 years ago and my grandmother 4 months later.(she must have died of a broken heart). Just remember, your grandpa was able to pass in his sleep. That is what everyone hopes for. He was in no pain, and in fact he was feeling well! Remember, your grandma greeted your grandpa last night and he was/is probably the happiest he's been in 2 years. Now he can be your guardian angel. You will feel his spirit with you often I am sure, as I still feel as if my grandparents are watching over me daily. Take care, get a good nights rest because the next few days are going to be exhausting. Take a deep breath and you'll get through it. Remember the good times and the memories. You will see him again, this is not the end, just the beginning of a new part of his 'life'! *Hugs* it'll be okay!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. Sorry it's been a few days since I've been around. These past few days have been rough. I completely lost it at the funeral home today. Tomorrow's the funeral, so it'll be another rough day. Then, normalcy can begin to return. The hardest part is seeing my dad and the effect that this has all had on him. I've only seen him cry twice in my life, tuesday when we were cleaning out my grandpa's apartment and when my grandma died. So, to see him cry is really hard.

On the bright side, I was able to get all my school stuff straightened out. All my missed exams/finals can be made up next week. I won't get any reading days, since I'll be making up tests on them, but I'll survive.

Thanks for listening!

It's ok to cry. Let it all out. You'll feel better after you do. I know I have when my grandma has been in the hospital. Lots of prayers for you to get through tomorrow and that you can return to a normal life very soon :wave:
