Question

Answer 1

only 2 years?
that is a long time. you can really develop feelings for someone in that amount of time.
I am sorry to hear about him but crying is good. everyone needs a good cry sometimes.
and he was old, it was probubly just his time to go.

Answer 2

You are crying because you are a loving and caring person. It is OK to grieve for awhile. This is normal. I lost a friend of 12 years and it was so terrible. I do know how you feel. But now, I go on every day thinking of all the good things about him and how much we respected and liked each other. Both single people with not romantic associations at all.

Answer 3

You say he was an old man? Good for him to live a long life. Be happy he got to enjoy life as long as he did and hope you can match him. Celebrate his life - don't mourn his death. We all are born, given so many minutes to be alive, and then we die. EVERYONE goes thru this. You can be happy he ever existed at all. You too. You have no idea how lucky we were to be born in the first place. Be happy you even knew him.

That is so sad, I feel terribly about him. My husband suffered a loss last year, he was heartbroken. I've never seen him cry like that before.

His grandfather died. He was fine until they had the families pass the coffin at the ceremony. He just started crying and crying, I started crying myself just seeing that. My son was so sweet, he went up and put his little arm around my husband and said, it's ok, daddy, its ok.. He helped his grandmother up some steps and was able to regain himself.

Up until then, I always thought of him as the strong one, the emotional steady one, but seeing him cry made me reach out to him and feel like I have something to offer if times get rough. I can be strong for my husband if he needs me to be....

I hardly knew his grandfather, except that he prayed for us during our wedding. He was a sweet, gentle man who had great values, otherwise I wouldn't have married his grandson :-)

It was funny, though, he was praying and it was toward the end of the ceremony, so I thought, Ok, whew, at least its almost over....

Then he turned over the page and it was full of writing.....lol.

I feel for your loss. I wish I knew my grandfather in law better, but at least I can know my great, wonderful grandmother in law in the meantime while she is still here. I want to pick her brain about great family recipes next week when I will get to see her a lot during vacation.......

Answer 5

Nothing wrong with crying.It's obvious you built a strong relationship with him.Good friendships don't happen by
chance.I still haven't got over my best friend committing suicide.Every labor day weekend(The start of the NFL season to be exact) the pain renews itself.
