DH just found his dear Dad.

[TheGashlycrumbTinies]

This is probably quite jumbled.

We were unable to contact DH's Dad on phone, and also recieved a phone call to say he had missed meeting with his diabetic nurse this morning.

He lives alone in London, we are 2 hours away. DH wanted to drive over to check he was OK, just had a phone call to say his Dad has passed away.

Feel so sad for DH, can't get there to hug him, DD's upstairs in bed and no relatives near.

I am so sorry for your loss

Poor DH

He is just waiting for the police to arrive.

Thanks for replying.

Ahhh, sorry to hear that.

You have my sympathies.

That's terrible, your poor DH. My thoughts are with you an your family.

Obv you are not going to be able to relax at the mo

Are you in the mood for distracting your self with a DVD, or a nice bubble bath?

Oh how awful for your poor DH, very sorry for your loss.

So sorry. At least you can offer DH comfort in the fact that it was noticed his dad was missing, and you both no doubt did everything to try and see if he was OK.

Oh how sad so sorry

So sorry to hear this.

I am so sorry to hear this.

So sorry for your loss.

How are you all this morning?

Boys, thank you so much for asking.

DH is still in London, his oldest friend drove up there to be with him last night and today, which I am so grateful for, as DH has no sibs, or aunts etc.

Just want to give him a hug.

Just came across this thread. I'm so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

awwww bless DH

Is he coming home home tonight?

so sorry

I am sorry. I wasn't with my DH when his Mum and then his Dad died. And he had to look after the children when I answered the call to go to my mum who had died in the night. I wanted so much to be there for him and he for me. But we were there for each other - just need to hang on for the hug. There will be many times he'll need you in the next few months when he thinks of his dad. You'll be there. I feel for you and your DH. DH and I have been through a lot of bereavements recently and I feel so sad for people who have to cope without the love you obviously have. Take care. x

So sorry to hear this xx

Thanks all for your kind replies.

DH is now sat at the side of me snoozing.

It's good to have him home.

You get some rest too, he'll need you to be strong

Will do BALD.

I'm so sorry to read this.
8 months ago we were in the same situation with my wonderful mother. She was diabetic and not answering the phone so my brother drove down to check and sadly found that she had passed away. I am abroad and felt so helpess.
My brother doesn't talk about it much but did admit once that he has trouble getting the image of finding her out of his mind. I hope that your DH is ok and might I suggest that he maybe talk to someone (maybe a bereavement counsellor, friend, doctor) about it. x

Mumoverseas, thank you for your message.

DH and I have spoke, I lost my dear Nan last year, and I struggled to get the final images of my mind.

We are very open, and he is not afraid or embarrassed to share his feelings and sadness, we will take time to talk.

Thanks again for taking time to reply.

Oh, I am so sorry for you both - that must have been so difficult for your DH. I'm glad he has you to help him and support him.

Boiledegg, its good that your DH is able to talk. Many men are not able to do this (perhaps they feel they have to remain strong, can't cry in public etc) and I know that this sometimes leads to problems further down the line. I know my brother was trying very hard to be 'macho' about the whole thing but there is a time and place for everything and if you've lost a loved one then in my opinion, macho goes out of the window.

Sending hugs to you and your husband and of course your DD's who have lost their grandad. Take care x
