- About Me:
- I was born in 1983. I have been married to my wonderful, loving, and supportive wife Tosha since 2008.
- About my Loss:
- About 3 months ago we found out that grandfather wasn't feeling very well. He's just not feeling very well today we were told. A month later we kept getting the same store, even though my uncle went down there to help cook and clean for my grandparents. We found out that my uncles and my aunt were taking turns caring for my grandparents, and that myself, my brother, and my mother were not allowed to go down to Florida from Maine. After one of my uncles had gotten home, I called him and he ended up telling me that my grandfather had inoperable bone cancer. After I spoke with my uncle, I called my grandmother and she told me everything that she knew. I, of course, told my mother and my brother. 3 weeks ago today my wife was speaking with my grandmother and was told how hard things are and how much pain my grandfather was in. My wife suggested hospice care since they could control the pain 24/7. My grandmother said that they and the Dr. were considering it. Tuesday night I did my daily phone call to my grandmother to see how things were going and was told that they were putting my grandfather into the ambulance to transport him to the hospice. My wife, my mother, and I loaded up my car and we drove down to Florida. My brother would be flying in on Friday. We left Tuesday night and go to my grandmothers at 10pm on Thursday the 5th. We were told that my grandmother wanted us to go straight there so she wouldn't be alone as my uncle was with my grandfather. We fell asleep with every intention of waking up early to go and see my grandfather. My wife was woken up before 7am Friday morning by my grandmother saying that my grandfather had passed and that she needed to go. My wife was told to stay at my grandmothers home and wait for further instruction. My wife was given the task of telling me and my mother that my grandfather was gone. We never got to say goodbye to him while he was alive. We went to the hospice to see him, but he wasn't the same Grampy that I had know my whole live. I will always remember seeing him in his death bed with his mouth wide open like he was gasping for air. My grandfather was for than just a grandfather. He was like a father to me, he was my hero, and my role-model.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
