My dad had been doing a lot better on a day to day basis, although his breathing had become an issue. But unfortunately, I got the call this morning that he passed away about 2:30 this morning. I really thought we would have a few more weeks with him and had even packed a "Grandpa's Special Gift" outfit in the hospital bag so that we could take the baby to visit him as soon as we were released. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

So now I'm just sitting back at home trying to figure out where to go from here. I wish I could go back to sleep, but at least right now I know I can't. I have to talk to someone at the funeral home sometime today anyway to get arrangements started. Plus I have a doctor appointment later today. I think I've called everyone I needed to call.

I guess I don't really know what I'm looking for here. I'm still processing and it feels better to type some of it out instead of talking about it right now. Thanks again to everyone who gave some input. We had decided to just let things happen naturally since things seemed to be going better. But life had different plans.

I am so, so sorry. Your LO now has a special guardian angel to look over him everyday. T's and P's for you and your family.

I am very sorry for your loss. Please make sure you have someone home with you today and someone to go to your appointments with. Even if you do not talk to them they can just be there for you. I will keep your family in my prayers

Seems like such a crappy time to have to go through this, but honestly, any time would be just as crappy. Losing a parent just sucks. What got me through, fwiw, was allowing myself all the crying I needed when I was alone- like in the shower- and surrounding myself with supportive family and friends the rest of the time to keep myself together. But your journey will be your own. I'm so sorry he will not get to meet your LO, but I'm so happy you will have a new face to bring such joy in to your life soon

I am so sorry for your loss. My FIL passed away during this pregnancy and while I have no idea what your going through, I understand the sadness that comes from knowing your LO won't get to meet him. Take comfort that your LO has an amazing guardian angel. Take care of yourself and take things one day at a time!

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I wish he also got to meet his grandchild, but you know what, I'm sure your little one will know all about his grandpa from you and your stories about your dad. You can keep him alive just with all the memories. Please take care of yourself in the next few days too.

I am so sorry to hear this! I lost my dad several years ago so I have some idea of what you're going through. What helped for me was taking time to talk with good friends who have been through something similar - it made me feel less alone in my grief. Feel free to PM anytime if you need to talk with someone who has been there. Thoughts and prayers are with you!
