My grandfather died just now

Lounge
1

I know everyone probably knows by now from my several threads about it that I’m having a lot of mixed feelings about it.

I’m relieved he finally passed instead of staying in this sad hospice limbo for too much longer.

But I’m upset he’s died a sweet morphine death in his 90s with no justice for his lifetime of shitty actions.

I don’t know, I feel weird about it.

However, he wasn’t all bad.

He was career navy and a pilot in WW2.

Had a very high security clearance and worked with experimental aircraft.

One of which he crashed in the Atlantic and had to be rescued.

After that he worked as a health inspector.

Pretty impressive career,

Less than impressive husband and father.

Regardless,

I wish him luck in the afterlife.

If there is one, he’s going to need it.

Well, I was going to offer you my regrets, but after reading the contents of your thread, I’m not sure that’s what you want…so I will just say…RIP.

I’m sorry you had to deal with him not being a good person. I have people in my life like that. My grandma in particular died at 100 years old. I used to say she would never die because she was too mean to die.

My parents were also not good people when I was growing up, but both have completely changed. I love them. I’ve forgiven (though not forgotten) the past. But that’s not hard to do when people genuinely change.

I’m sorry you didn’t get a satisfactory ending with him. It’s hard to be at peace when things end like that.

I hope that things go more smoothly than you’re thinking they will with the estate. Is there a will? A trust?

I do have to say it’s not often you hear someone say they’re upset because someone had an easy passing…

Anyway, I hope the family can get together in peace for his funeral.

Regardless…
I’m sorry for your loss @Charles_Foster

My dear Mother passed on with Morphine in her system.

She died a peaceful soft death.

Man how I loved her, I still do.

Love is eternal

There is a will,

We don’t know what it says,

But we likely won’t get anything.

Which is fine, I don’t need the memories.

He did promise me a car, but that was a long time ago.

I’m not going to the service,

But I hope everyone else can get along and not be too greedy about his will.

My experience is that this is usually impossible when there is a lot of money involved.

Still, I hope you get the car!

If he hasn’t changed his will since 1997, I might.

sorry. I had a grandfather I wasn’t fond of and had mixed feelings when he died too.

I had a grandma that didn’t care for me or my sister. To this day I never shed a tear after the ■■■■■ died.

Have a biological grandpa I never met. Won’t spill any tears after he goes to hell.

But I hope you get the car so you have a little something for the past.

What car would you be getting? Do you know? I hope you get through with processing this situation in a healthy manner and everything is resolved nicely.

A 1950s Karmann Ghia.

It was in his will when I was younger,

But after some family ugliness, where he found himself to be the victim,

He changed his will.

So who knows.
