Just found out my grandad has died

[BillywigSting]

Peacefully in his sleep last night.

He was very old and very poorly, and deeply unhappy (very very intelligent man trapped in his body)

But I am so so sad.

He lived in Ireland and I'm in Liverpool now. So is my dad. We're flying home tomorrow.

I couldn't even say happy Christmas one last time because he was almost totally deaf.

So sorry op sending you love and hugs

So sorry for your loss. Take comfort in that he passed in a way that was so peaceful, no pain and the way it should be.

So sorry for your loss o p

Sorry for your loss billywig. .

So sorry for your loss x

That's sad news, sorry for your loss

Sorry to read your loss. Try to remember the good things (his intelligence is one) and celebrate his life at his funeral.

I'm sorry OP

sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to plan a lovely celebration of his life

Thank you everyone.

A mad dash now to get all of the scattered relatives back home from their respective adoptive countries (England, Australia, carribean, they aren't kidding when they say irelands biggest export is people!) and get funeral arrangements sorted.

It's a comfort that he knew the priest well, he was a practicing Catholic and they were friends so I have high hopes for the service.

Dp and my mum are coming over too and mil is going mind ds (only 5 and didn't really know him so would like to avoid him going to the funeral)
