Even though he’s lived a long life, just as he’s wanted to, it’s a loss. I wouldn’t worry about how you’re dealing with it emotionally, it may hit later, it may not. Either way, you’ll grieve, you’ll be fine.

My grandma died in 2004. My last grandparent. We all thought her funeral would be a celebration of her life. It was except for when I started crying while giving the eulogy. I wasn’t expecting that. Neither apparently was any one else. When I got back to my seat looking for a kleenex, no one had thought to bring any. To a funeral.

Anyway, also, want to give you support on writing the obit. It’s a hard and wonderful thing to do. I found that I couldn’t write my favorite uncle’s until he actually died. http://www.shannonwilkinson.com/journal/saying-goodbye

Thinking of you…
