What should I do?

If they have been married to each other for their lives then this is going to be extremely hard on the grandfather. You try to spend as much time with him as you can. Usually it the male that passes away before the wife. Many men that have been in 1 life long relationship may just sit down and will themselves to die because of the great loss and wanting to be with their wives. Has this passing been seen as an end to an illness or was it unexpected. If it was the end of a sickness then he has to some degree prepared himself for the end, but if it is unexpected then try to get him into some support groups in your area, not knowing where you live. If you are church goers then get support through your church. Another idea is to get a hold of Health and social Services locally, explain your situation and ask if they know of or have a group that he might get involved in. You might check around in your local newspaper and see if their are any groups that people can get involved in to get the support that he is going to need. There might be some better suggest (answers) that someone or some many make. There is support groups in your area for just this type of support. There is always a lot of good answers when you have a forum like this one. You have my deepest sympathies for the lose in your family of your Grandmother... Keep a smile on your face when around your grandfather, this will help. Good Luck..

It's really hard to do anything in those situations. Sometimes people just like to be left alone with their memories and grief, they don't like anyone to interrupt their thoughts. It's also difficult to find any helpful words. Time will make it all better. Just be by your family's side, be together with them and especially with your grandfather, show him your attention and concern. It's hard to do anything else, may be much later, but not now. He needs some time to deal with it himself. Just care about hime and be near.

I am very sorry for your loss. Make yourself available to listen, spend time with him, call and check up on him, see if he needs anything. this is going to be a very difficult transition for him. Especially, if they were married for a long time. You wake up one day and life as you have known it is completely different and you can not do anything about it. Just be available for him, spend time with him. Good luck and God bless

spend a little time with/on him...he's probably very lonely...and maybe a little frightened of spending his remaining years alone...he needs support..we all need support and love --but especially at times like this...My sympathy to you..it's always hard to lose those we love....TELL him you look up to and admire him...he might just need to hear it....don't wait until you no longer have the opportunity to say it.
