Sorry about the morbid title first off.
My 12 year old son's grandad (ex father in law) very sadly and very suddenly passed away this weekend. He had a stroke/cardiac arrest and unfortunately never recovered from his coma.
Im struggling more than I thought I would, despite me separating from his son 8 years ago he was still a regular in my life and honestly one of the nicest you could me.
His dad passed 10 years ago of dementia. My sons grandad also had parkinsons which made him frail.
Anyway... I can't keep getting a reoccurring image out of my head of him meeting his dad and saying 'oh hello dad!!', they are both healthy, how I remember them before ailments sadly took over etc, both happy. It's hitting me in my sleep, during the day, basically out of no where. I can't help but think that this is them both happy together now, pain free.... But I have never ever believed in the afterlife before.
Has anyone ever experienced this before? I don't understand why I'm feeling it, I don't feel like I have a right to feel these things when he wasnt immediate family...
