DH's dad passed away Tuesday night. He caught pneumonia in the hospital and was unable to fight it. DH is totally broken up about it. He and his dad were really close and DH was the one that had to make the call to pull the life support. He's really torn up over everything (which is to be expected) and it breaks my heart to see him like this.
Now, DH is getting a humanitarian assignment to Scott AFB back home, so we are no longer moving to the UK. We have inherited the house DH grew up in and everything in it, which is bordering on a hoard. Plus, DH just became the head of the family and is now responsible for all of the family issues and taking care of his grandparents.
We're only 23.... we were definitely not ready for this to happen.
awwww. hugs to you both!!! it will get easier, just give it some time. Big hugs.
Oh wow.. I am so sorry for your loss ((((((((((hugs))))))))))
I wish there was a way I could help... I'm sure that you and your DH together will be able to pull togehter and get all taken care of. Just take each day and each task 1 at a time.
Sorry again for your loss I will definitely be praying for ya'll =)
oh my, that's definitely a lot of hard issues to deal with, but hopefully you can pull through together and become stronger in the process! lots of hugs
I am sorry for your loss.
Try to work together the best you can. Life is so much easier when you work at it with a team. And don't be afraid to seek help. Separetly or together. You may want someone to talk to about your stresses and the loss of a family member.
Good luck to you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss. You are taking a lot of responsibility at this time- just take it day at a time and decision at a time. Both you and your husband are strong enough to get through this. Hugs to both of you. My thoughts are with you, your husband, and his family at this time.
AWWWWWWWWWW I am so sorry that all of this is happening to you. My ptayers are with you and hubby!{{{hugs}}
@zippylef: Oh, sweetie. ** HUGS ** This must be such a shock to you and your DH. Hang in there...Sending lots of love and happy thoughts.
I am so sorry you are going through this. My thoughts, prayers, and hugs go out to you and your DH.
((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) I am so very sorry for your loss.
And I feel terrible for your husband. Did I see somewhere that you also lost his mother not too long ago? I cannot imagine what it would be to lose not one but both parents/MIL & FIL at such a young age. I am very glad that the two of you have each other to go through all of this together.
I am so sorry to hear about your FIL. Be strong for your husband right now.
You with your husband are stronger than you think. It's times like these that test a relationship and makes it stronger.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family will definitely be in my thoughts & prayers.
So, so sorry for your loss. I couldn't imagine losing either one of our dads at this point. And all that family stuff on top of it?? I hope you guys just band together and figure out a plan that will work for you both. Where is home to him ( not sure where Scott AFB is)?
I'm so sorry :( (((((HUGS))))) Through thick or thin, better or worse. Your DH has you when he needs you the most. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help.
I am so sorry to here this! My prayers are with you and your Fi. Plus side, you now have a home?
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Making that call is never easy.
*HUUGGSSSS*
Wow, that is such a huge burden to take on all at once and I'm so sorry for your loss and the overwhelming situation you're in right now.
It's important to be there for your husband, and obviously you are- but it's really important to remember that you're allowed to be overwhelmed and emotional, too. Part of being strong is being able to let yourself feel everything you need to feel, even when it's really inconvenient to be emotional. I can only imagine what you're going through, but I'll be thinking about you! You and your husband will get through this, and you'll be stronger because of it.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother a year ago and I'm just now starting move on.
I know that my state has a free 24 hour helpline for those dealing with loss. I'm sure your state or the military has something like that available, if needed. Also, if having a funeral or something of the sort trust the funeral director. Their job is to make things easier and to coordinate things so that the grieving don't have to.
I'm assuming since you've been given the house that he is also named the executor (sp) of the estate - make sure to fill out all the necessary paper work. It will be important around tax time next year. When going through the house make sure to keep anything that looks even vaguely important (reciepts, documents, etc). It seems silly to say that but when grieving sometimes you get the urge to just throw everything out and be done with it.
Take it slow and don't be afraid to take a step back from it all. Remind your husband to grieve and make sure that he knows the world will not fall apart if he needs to take a day off from anything related to the estate/family. Good luck and I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!
I am so sorry. You and your FI and family will be in our thoughts. It seems overwhelming, but don't worry about "head of the family" or dealing with things yet. Just take it one day at a time. *hugs*
I'm so sorry. I know it's hard but I'm sure that he can handle anything with time. Don't worry about his grandparents situation yet and just settle into your new reality.
Oh Man, I have nothing to add that hasnt been said, but remember it will be a long road. As the "head" of the household there are resources. As a younger man he may feel like everything is his responsibility, make sure he doesnt think that. I have seen that raip before. His responsibility is that he is well and secure so he can be a model.
@zippylef: Oh my! So very sorry to hear about the passing of your FIL. I can't imagine the grief that he's encountering, while also dealing with so many other responsibilities. God Bless you both as you go through this trying time! HUGS!!
P.S. How far is the house you inherited from Scott AFB?
I am so sorry for your loss, and for all you're going through. -Hugs-
