Anyone who's here - T&P for me and DH
I am not usually one to spill my emotions all over the internet, but...
I just found out that my husband's grandfather passed away this evening. We found out this afternoon that they were putting him on life support, but we all thought he would hang on a little longer than this. My husband thought the world of his grandpa, and I just know he is going to be heartbroken when he hears the news. He's at work and his dad called me and asked me what he should do - if he should call him at work, or wait until he gets home, whether they should tell him or I should. We decided I would tell him, so someone would be with him in person. So, I am just waiting for him to get home. This is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. If you have any encouraging words, I'll take em. Along with any thoughts and prayers, if you pray.
Thank you ladies.

Oh boy, BIG hugs to you. I can't imagine how worried you are. Take a deep breath and just be there for him. He has to find out eventually and it's best he hear it from the person he loves most.
I'll be thinking and praying for you both. So sorry about his grandpa.
I wish there was some way of making it easier. Just go with his feelings. If he wants to cry,hold him.If he wants space just let him know you are there when he does need you.
I am so sorry that you are going through this.Sorry for your loss babe.
((hugs))
That's what we were thinking. I think he would want to know as soon as possible, but we thought him having to hear it at work with no one to really comfort him from his parents over the phone wouldn't be the best idea.
Thanks for the hugs.
Yeah. Speaking as someone who got very similar news in such a way (at work on the phone), it was pretty awful. He would either have to keep working, or would have to tell his boss, and make his way home feeling awful. There's just no great way in doing it, but I think you're doing the best possible way.
Deep breaths and hugs to you both. I hope it goes as well as possible. I'm so sorry for your loss.
T&P to you.
And, OMGosh your baby is cute.
you are doing the right thing...my sister found out at the age of 20 at work that her father was found dead on his kitchen floor. she was the only manager on duty and she was a wreck! there is nothing you can do to make it better right now so it's better to let him deal with it at home.
and he'll probably know just by the look on your face if you two know each other the way my hubby and i do!
