[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 137224, member: 1721"] It was not entirely unexpected, but.... I think I am posting about it to learn how those of us who have lost our fathers were best able to comfort our newly-widowed mothers or our children. Both difficult child and daughter are taking the news well, and it may be that there IS nothing more that we can do but to try truly to hear our family members, and to share our own stories and feelings honestly with them. There will not be a funeral, per my father's wishes. We are thinking about conducting a memorial service next summer when everyone is home again. (No one is home right now ~including my mother. My father passed away while they were on vacation.) Thanks, everyone. Barbara [/QUOTE]
