Author Topic: My great grandpa is dead.  (Read 839 times)

4 days ago, I got the news that my great grandfather died of old age. I used to visit him every other week, and my great grandmother lived with him. My grandmother said that he would sleep with her because he didn't want to die alone. Today I am going to a funeral in Idaho (state that I live in) and my dad's side of the family is going to be there. I wish I could see him again.

Oh god man, im really sorry
It always sucks when a family member dies.

I mean he was probably like 300 years old I dont know if you should really be sad everyone in the history of ever saw this coming

I know how that feels man. My great grandpa died of lung cancer from smoking in 2009, and my great grandma died before I was even born

that just makes it harder on his family;
Especially if they had a good relationship with him.

Maybe I guess

I dunno for me I was never sad at the fact that I was going to lose my great grandmother. I visited her every week until she passed away. Sure I missed talking with her but I can't say I was sad because she was 93. For me its hard to be sad when someone so old passes away. Its like finding out your birthday presents ahead of time and being surprised when you get them on your birthday.

sorry to hear that. i would've loved to have had grand parents but they died when i was very young so I don't remember them much.

It's sort of more like being told someone's going to throw you a party at some time, but not knowing when. It could be later that day, it could be in 20 years. You'd still be surprised.

I swear, next year we'll either have double or half the amount of death threads than we've gotten in 2015.

I've been through the same stuff with my Grandmother. Good luck with it.

I have never cried this much in my life. There was a good amount of people and my uncle mad a sad remembrance of him. May god bless his soul.
