That is exactly how it is. He keeps it in and to himself. Makes me feel kinda helpless.

My father and I don't argue but I am not emotionally attached...he spent too many of my formative years not around and drunk...It has always been about him. As my faith has grown, I have realized that what type of father isn't the reason on how you act it is the fact that they are your father. My dad has been in a nursing home or hospital for the past 2 years...he is only 65...his last hospital visit and surgery I drove the 10 hrs and was there...I don't call every week but much more than I had...Your husband will greave in his way...just be there when he is ready. My wife let me go took care of everything and was very supportive. My dad is still around but I am glad I went for the surgery and have made my peace...your family will be in our prayers

Kinda makes you wonder if somewhere in his heart he felt he wasn't going to be around much longer and needed to make some peace with you all. It's positive that it happened that way and not with the two of them fighting and then his death, it's just unfortunate his death came at all. Praying for you and your husband!!

I'm so sorry. It's amazing how things like this happen. When I lost my dad to cancer, I was working horrific hours and barely got over to see him once a week if that. Then I was in a major auto accident that put me in the hospital for 6 days, then I had to recuperate for 2 months. That first week out of the hospital I stayed at my sister's while they helped me heal. My parents lived only a few miles away so my sister would drop me off there while she was at work, my dad and I would sit together in the living room all day both too weak to do much but kept each other company. My dad died a week later and I am so thankful for my accident as I got some really quality time with my dad as weird as that is. It sounds like the last two months were a healing time for you guys, try to focus on that, as it's really where you were all headed as a family. It's great he got to spend some time with his granddaughter and heal some wounds with your DH. Short I know but thankfully you have some good memories to share with your daughter about her grand dad. Take care, the pain will lesson with time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers. Even though your husband may act strong through all of this, I know he will be glad that you are there for him (even though you feel very helpless).
