I feel for you Susan. Sadly sometimes a death in the family can bring the worst out in some members. Try & be strong and remember what you are doing and what you have done for your Grandad. Use today as your time to say a last farewell. It will be a difficult time but know that your Grandad, I'm sure, is taking care of you. (((((((hugs)))))))

Susan.....I am certain that your Grandad will be proud of the way you are handling this situation.....and Shirley-ann is right in saying that deaths and funerals can bring out the worst in people.... Let the others get on with it, just carry on behaving in a dignified manner, and thinking of yourself and how you are going to cope with his loss... I am so happy that you can rise above all this and focus on what is important....the loss of a lovely man who was very dear to you....

Susan, i got this when my Nan died but miss them both, If tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all that we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss some tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, 'This is eternity, And all I've promised you.' Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day is the same way, There's no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart '

Hi Susan, I am so sorry, sometimes funerals bring out the worst in people. I have experienced two such funerals. I started to tell you about them on this thread, but its not what you or anyone wants to hear right now. Needless to say I am still reeling from the actions of those Vultures. The only thing I can say is that I found a quiet spot and said I am sorry for the actions of others to the deceased. I still get upset when I think about it. Anyway, Bert knows whats what and I am sure he knows that you love him and he'll always be there for you if you need him. Take care, Ria xxx
