My grandma died last night!

I am sorry to hear about your Grandmother. It is great to hear you have so many wonderful memories of her that you can keep for a lifetime !! She sounds like she was awesome !!!!!!!!!!
 
Hugs and condolences on your loss.

If your Grandma's husband is talking about selling the house anyway, is there an elder community locally? Some really cool elders I know have done this. They sell off the nest egg and move into a town house or condo in a community that is all elder people. There are different levels of service available. And they have a social circle with similar interests.

But whatever the plan, he needs to grieve before he acts. There are some real scumbags who'll take advantage of someone when he is down.
 
So sorry to hear of your loss. What a shock. Prayers to you and your family. Just be patient with your grandfather. Make sure family check on him. Try to feel him out as to how much help he is willing to accept without him feeling like he's burdening you. Since he's used to her cooking for him,invite him over for dinner or have different family members bring meals that he can heat up. Just try to be there for him. Everyone greives differently.

Bless you and your family.

I'm so sorry!! Is her husband also your grandfather? If not, he sure may feel lonely. Just keep in touch with him - help him grieve, but remember to grieve yourself. It's the hardest part of the healing process, I think. Remind yourself of how very much your grandmother loved you (and you her!) and that you have lots of caring people on this forum.

I lost my cousin recently - he had a drug problem and was so very dear to me. He had written about me in his journal that was next to him... I take great comfort in the fact that he knew, really knew deep down inside that I loved him so much - and that he loved me, too.

Take good care - we're all here and praying for you and yours!

I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was an awesome lady. I like to tell people in times like this that: "No one is truly gone, until all who know them are gone, and all the good they have done is gone."
 
I am so sorry you lost your grandmother. I wish I could give you some advice about her husband, it's such a hard and sad situation, but I don't really have any. Many (((HUGS))) to you and your family.
