Hey guys/gals.

i'm looking for some advice.

My sister just told me my Grandpa past away this morning. :( I'm taking it pretty well but i haven't seen my dad yet (it was his dad) when his Mom past away i was maybe 5? so i didn't know what to do and now being 21 i'm closer to my dad but i still don't know what to do?

Should i give him his space? or should i be there? or what?

flick, its been said plenty, but I too am sorry to hear the news, its rough losing a family member. Its tough to say what to do to help your dad. He may or may not show if he wants someone there for him or not, he may let his pride block that, but at least be around, or make yourself accessible to him if he wants to call ya or sit down and talk with ya.


My friends father passed away a few weeks ago. His dad was only 54. I went to the funeral and it was very very sad, he was a very well liked man. Hopefully you are able to attend your grandfathers funeral.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I know when my dad's father passed away, he did not take it very well. It was very unexpected, so that didn't make things any better, plus my dad was at the Runoffs National Championship at Mid-Ohio and his father was living in Florida.

Just spend some extra time with him doing what he enjoys. Depending on the type of guy he is, he may not like talking about it, but may enjoy the company of family.

Good luck and my best goes out to your family.

Your dad probably has alot to take care of, try to take some tasks off his hands. Do stuff around the house, bring/cook him lunch or dinner, etc..

When my mom died, I was so over whelmed with decisions/responsibilities. Everyone in the family was looking to me for answers. Take care of whatever you can so he doesn't have to worry about it. A person can forget to take care of themselves when having to deal with everything else.

Sorry to hear about your loss. When my gma (mothers side) passed a while back my Mother took it really hard. Best thing to do is support him in any way you can. A simple hug can do wonders in times like that. Take care!
