This isn't surprising. When you've lived with someone for what, 70 years? And they're suddenly just gone... It would be so difficult to go on living. I hope he's comfortable and that they'll be together again soon.
Wow. Not to sound flippant but what an amazing way to go...at peace, in your chair, with God's word on your lap. I think i got some dust in my eyes while reading this.Nuke_Ag05 said:
Grandmother left in mid-feb after battling Alzheimer's. My grandfather was in good health, but I could tell how losing her wrecked him. He wasn't himself, and seemed depressed and just lost without her. He visited her grave a couple of Satudays ago alone, on what would have been their 67th wedding anniversary.
My father went to pick him up for church the next morning. He was sitting in his chair with his glasses off and his Bible on his lap. Almost like he put it down to rest his eyes a bit. Can't imagine a more comfortable or dignified way to pass on. I firmly believe he was just ready to go and be with her, and she came to get him.
Being with someone for so long and then losing them, can't imagine that.
Prayers for Bush Sr. I hope he finds that small measure of peace we all look for.

My grandpa died suddenly from a heart attack at mid 70s, and his mom, still alive at 98, in perfectly good health, died suddenly within a week. She lived with her son/daughter in law (my grandma) and never got along with my grandma.
She totally willed herself to die.

She actually always wanted to get along with her MIL. Never said a bad thing about her. The hate was one way.Drawkcab said:62strat said:
