  • My grandfather passed away yesterday. I hadn't taken my 4mo son to meet him yet and am now really regretting it. Just venting, thanks.

    • so sorry to hear that. My grandmother died 10 days before my first baby was born. It's hard, but I hope you'll find some comfort in memories of him.

      • Thanks. I do have great memories of him just feel like my priorities are a bit mixed up that I couldn't even travel to see him. I spoke to him the day before he passed so am happy about that. So sorry about the timing of your grandmother's passing. It is hard.

        • He knew (knows) that you love him. That is what is important.

        • I am sorry for your loss. Write down your priorities. Since my mother has passed, I have prioritized DOING, so that I try to say yes to every invitation. Been on on some crazy trips, and become quite silly. Your not visiting made me think of this, since saying no to a visit feels easier with kids. His memory shouldn't end with his death. Join Geni.com and put up every photo of him you can, every memory, while its still fresh for your db. Visit his grave with db. They don't find this macabre at all. Good luck!

    • i'm so sorry. it might be nice to start a little journal for you to put down your memories of him. it'll help your children get a good feel for him when they are old enough to read it.

    • OP: Thanks all for your kind words and for the link to geni.com. I will definitely have to set up a page for my family.

    • Try not to beat yourself up. What's done is done. He's passed on hopefully living peacefully. You should do the same.

    • "The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid, and deeds left undone." (from harriet beecher stowe). OP, I am so so sorry for your loss. try not to beat yourself up over it. you are a new mom and the past 4 months, I am sure, were no walk in the park.
