my grandmother passed away
26
Wed, 03-19-2008 - 10:30am

My grandmother got put in the hospital this morning. They are keeping her on a respirator until the family can get there. She will not last long.

I know if she does pass before the days end. her funeral will be held this weekend. My father does not have a whole lot of say so........ my problem is this yes my grandmother lived a full life and bless her........ but she has only one Great granddaughter, Jackie and she is close to her. How can a funeral take place and Jackie not be able to say goodbye? that is going to devastate my dd. Is this wrong to be so upset? I just dont know what to do. I have this feeling that Jackie is going to be really upset that she did not get to say goodbye. thanks for listing.

I'm so sorry. I don't know the answer. Your ex would not allow her to attend a funeral? Its not like it can be rescheduled. Maybe you could arrange to go to the cemetary with her after and have a private farewell. Hugs to you both.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I think your ex is very mean if he won't let Jackie go to the funeral. I thought my ex was horrible, now he has competition. My ex and I have been flexible with visitation when it comes to funerals.
I think you should try to talk to him, I haven't read this whole thread. Or, if worse comes to worse, and you really want her to be with you and go to the funeral, call the courthouse or something to get an emergency thing done...which I've never done.
Well, I'm at a loss for words. Your ex should be flexible when somebody dies...he sounds very selfish.
Keep us posted.

Oh Deanna, I'm sooooo sorry to hear about your grandmother. And the situation with your ex not letting Jackie go just stinks! You're a terrific mom and I know you'll do everything you can for her. I wish I could get on a plane and come and give you hugs. Guess these will have to do. ((((hugs))))

Remember, we're here if you need us.

Prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family!
