2011, the year of tragedy... :(

I really wish I was imagining all of this.  I really wish our family didn't have to experience so much loss in such a short period of time.

DH's Godmother passed away suddenly of a heart attack on Monday.  We got the call yesterday.

DH is holding it all in and burying himself in work.  Besides our already scheduled vacation, he hasn't taken even an hour to feel anything about his Grandmothers passing (mind you we were all prepared for that one).  And now, he's planning on going back into work after DC goes to bed to work more this evening.

Services are on Friday, and I'm thankful that he's making a point to be there, I am too. 

I'm worried about him.  About the greif, about the stress, about what it's doing to his body.  The last thing we need is for him to be in the hospital.

I don't think I've ever called to my Higher Power more in my life.

    HUGS!!!  

    Just remember that people deal with grief and loss in different ways.  When my FIL passed away my husband didn't take any time off work because if he was working it took his mind off of everything.  Just be there for him when he needs you and take care of yourself too!

    I'm so sorry, J. {{{HUGS}}}

    I think Janet gave good advice.  Your DH is going through his own process and all you can do is take care of yourself as much as possible so that you can be there for him when he needs you.  So hard, I know, especially b/c I think it's so in your nature to feel so deeply for the ones you love that you would rather take all their pain on yourself than have them feel the pain.  More {{{{HUGS}}}}

    When it rains, it pours. My heart goes out to you, your DH and your family. Don't forget to take care of yourself too...you'll be no good to DH when he's ready to grieve if you've worn yourself out. We're all here if you need anything.

    *Hugs* After everything has settled down, maybe he can look to see if he has EAP coverage through his employer. That way he can see a grief counselor. 

    I can relate to all of this. DH lost two grandparents in one year. DH buried himself in work too. He had to approach it in his own time.
