Just got a call.....DH's grandmother (Nana, 90) passed away this morning. Up until last month she and Papa were still living in their own home. Then she fell a couple times and just went downhill fast.

MIL said we'll have the service wed. Terrible to think about this I know, but my kid's parties at school are Wed. I was going to help in the rooms, I've been making goodies to bring, told the teacher I would bring beverages, kids have presents for their secret santa exchange, kids were supposed to sing in church, DS has been learing the bells to do in church, etc. Now when they get up I have to tell them about Nana and that they'll miss all the fun at school.

Timing is a **** sometimes. Is 2010 done yet? :surrender:
 
Sorry to hear that. What time is the service and what time is the party. Usually, service doesn't start until 3:00. Can they go to the service after the party?

Thanks
I don't know times yet.....we'll see.
 
Sorry for your loss Rebecca. That is unreal they were on their own at 90! Hope I can be independent at that age. Hope your kids dont miss out on their xmas party.
 
So sorry to hear the news, Rebecca :huggy: Such a sad way to begin this very special final week of Advent.
Hopefully it will help comfort her loved ones to remember that Nana will be celebrating her Christmas with the Blessed Lord Jesus Himself ♥
 
Sorry that your family is experiencing this loss, especially at Christmas. :grouphug:

She had a very long life, I'm sure there are many fond memories to remember. I love Cookiemom's comment, she WILL be spending Christmas somewhere she will be even happier than here.
 
Thanks everyone. Yes it is a blessing that they were in their own home for so long. We took Papa's car away from him a couple years ago though (Nana never drove). Nana used a cane and was blind so I would help by taking Papa grocery shopping (he's always been the shopper lol) and stop over to help when MIL couldn't.

My boys loved going over there.....they would be spoiled by Nana. She was a very loving and giving person.
These last couple weeks she was in a lot of pain and was praying to die. She was tired and done. :pout:

Papa's mind has really been going the last couple years.....now he's on a 15 min. rewind......only remembers things that happened a long time ago. He's in a home now and didn't know Nana wasn't doing well. MIL made up some story when he asks about her. He keeps saying how lonely he is without her. :pout:

So undignified to be like that at the end of a good long life. :surrender:
 
Hugs. You know she wouldn't want the kids to miss out on their party. Maybe if it's a morning service, you could swing both.

My brother's first wife died at this time of year. It is so hard when everyone else is all holly jolly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
