    Default My grandfather died

    He was like a father to me ,my grandparents raised me so he was my dad .I'm devastated not just because he passed but the way he did .My grandmother had left for less than an hour to pay her bill and bring him something to eat and the house caught on fire when she left .My grandpa didn't make it out and the house is gone.I feel so sad for my grandma she didn't have homeowners insurance or life insurance for grandpa .I miss him so much I just wish I could see him .

    Thank you and well at first I was a mess and totally out of it my bf says right now that I'm going through a denial stage because I said that it just doesn't seem real to me and I don't believe it .I know this is going to hit me really really hard at the funeral and then later on when it sinks in that this really is real.

    ^^ I know that feeling. When my grandfather died I threw myself into the funeral preparations and pretty much didn't cope. I'm so sorry hon. We are here.

    Oh no, that's awful.

    Call the newspaper and local TV station and see if you can get some donations for the funeral & for your grandmother. There are people who would love to help out. EDIT TO ADD- insist they correct the story- it'll get double exposure time then.

    Be happy you had him. I feel sad when I see other people's grandparents- I never knew any of mine.

    I think when it comes to dealing with death, we don't need to make efforts to try and feel any particular way, or stress that we are not feeling a certain way. For this.. let go and let it happen. It may never hit you hard, or it might, but you know what? It doesn't matter. Just see what happens. There is nothing wrong with you if it never hits you hard.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. there are 5 stages of grief, and each stage must be experienced in order to cope with the loss. Denial is usually the first stage. Just make sure you give yourself time to cope and time to cry.

    The Red Cross helps fire victims.
    My aunt's family was in a housefire, and the Red Cross paid for a hotel for them for a few days and gave them clothes and money for food and stuff.
    The Salvation Army may also be of assistance.

    It was a little over two years ago I lost two people in three days, and it took forever to really sink in, it still got me harder than I would have thought on the two year mark.

    I am so sorry that it had to happen that way.

    Sorry to hear about your loss sweetie. My father lost his house to a random electrical fire too and didn't have home owners insurance. Dealing with a death on top of all of it is unimaginable! We're here for you!

    As for your grandmother, like maxine said contact the local media. When my dad had his fire I contacted the local red cross, salvation army and local churches. Check these out they may be able to provide some help for your grandmother to help relieve some of the stress of the situation. If she's a member of a church or special organization try to talk to them about helping to give her extra support. Not sure how close your family is to her to give her that extra support, but if not then she may end up really needing someone.

    Let us know if there's anything we can do to help. Stay strong and focus on the great relationship you had with your grandfather.

    I am so sorry. I can't even imagine what you're going through....Please feel free to pm me if you want to talk. My aunt and her mom (my gramma) both passed in the same week of cancer, unexpectedly, and I can relate to feeling grief. I am so sorry.
