Sizzle, I am so sorry for your loss.

 

[tlh]

I am sorry for your loss. I am sorry your family must go through the paperwork and figure everything out while also dealing with their grief.

 

[Sizzle]

Thank you again everyone. I am here right now avoiding.. I''m only allowing myself 15 minutes though.

 

[treefrog]

Awl... Sizzle, I am so sorry to hear this. Wishing you and your family strength as you go through this difficult time.

I''m very sorry to hear about your grandfather

I remember when I lost my last grandparent and it was certainly not an easy time. However, just think how many angels you have watching over you now

Sorry for your loss.

A suggestion - if it is not to late....

I now have 2 experiences where instead of holding an expensive funeral (with a casket) right away - that the family scheduled a memorial service some time out (1 month & 4 months). In one case they had a basic ash urn, and in the other no remains at all. In the case of the ash urn (one of my grandmothers) the responsible sibling had let the state do the cremation and provide a basic ash urn. My grandmother had no assets either - and her finances were also a mess.

I have had talks with my siblings about how when either (or both) of our parents die that we don''t have to have an immediate expensive funeral (I run the "parents fund" for our family).

Pre-planned discussion is a lot better than dealing with the moment.

Again, I feel for your loss. Please remember the good times - that is what is important.

Oh dear Sizzle, you and your family are in my prayers. All four of my grandparents are alive, I can''t even imagine what you''re going through right now. I hope you will be given enough time to grieve, as I heard it is very important to have that time of closure. I know you will get through this period - from what I''ve seen of you on PS you are a very strong woman! *hugs*

I''m sorry for your loss, Sizzle......life does seem to go much too fast, doesn''t it? I hope that everyone can figure out his financial affairs without too much hassle so that you have one less burden to deal with. Hugs!

hugs to you sizzle.

i hope all the paperwork resolves quickly and you can concentrate on the lifetime of memories you have with a beloved grandfather.

 

[softly softly]

Sorry for your loss sizzle. My grandfather passed away just before Christmas and I was shocked at how grief stricken I was. He had been sick for some time and like your grandfather had lived a full life, but it didn''t make his passing any easier to bear.

Hope all the paperwork issues get sorted for you soon.

 

[Sizzle]

Well the paperwork is straightend and it''s NOT good. NO insurance. He apparently cashed them all out when he was strapped for cash or let them lapse... so were gonna have to pay cash for this funeral......the stress is overwhelming...

 

[marcy]

I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I hate to hear you have the financial worries on top of losing him. My thoughts are with you and your family.

 

[jas]
