Title: FIL died last night.....
Post by: Vamps on 28 January 2011, 21:45:26
Father in Law died last night, but due to a mix up in communication involving a phone call to swmbo who misunderstood a phone call last night l...emotions and all, ::) I did not find out until I rang to see how he was at lunch time today....It's a long story.... ::) ::) ::)

It was not unexpected, we had a scare just before Christmas..

Anyway left work and drove up to Sunderland, meet with the in-laws family and the funeral director to sort things out.....Never done anything like this in my life, but at 53 with 2 sets of parents we knew it was inevitable...  At this stage swmbo did not know, I did not want to ring her at work so got back home in time for her coming home.....Not the most pleasant of news to pass on :'( :'( and then there are the kids to tell.... I have had better days.... :(

Expected or not, the ending of this stage of the natural cycle is always very difficult to accept.

Accept it we must however - but we can do so in the knowledge that we have the strength of family and friends to lend support as we attempt to make our way through it.

My thoughts are with you all:  Death is not final it's merely a transition, a shift of focus - another journey on the never-ending road of life.

I wish there was some magic word we could use to help out in these sad situations. Thoughts and condolences to all of the Vamps household.

I have yet another funeral to attend on Wednesday... Another good friend, although this one has had a good life, passes onto the next road of life :(

If we can help in any way, you know where we all are
