Lots of ~ma for your DH, Sox. This has got to be nerve wracking for you guys.
Shir, grief doesn't follow the same pattern for everyone and you can only be honest with your feelings and deal with how YOU feel. Oh, and what everyone else said, too.
Laura, good luck with the butt kicking. Don't forget a ladder. What IS it with teenage boys and their eyebrows. A friend of mine in high school also shaved his eyebrows. He made the mistake of doing it right before class pictures, too, so the event is officially remembered.

~mas to Trudy and Sox.
Thanks, everyone. It's a tiny-step by tiny-step process.
~ma to your friends Trudy and work~ to Sox' husband.
WORKMA TO MR. SOX!!!!
Shir, I think joy is a gift that should always be embraced --particularly in times of sorrow.
Shir, you grieve when and as you feel like it. Some of my heartiest belly laughs came on the day of my mother's funeral and I was grateful for them because I might just have curled up and died myself without them. You will find yourself being plenty sad more than you want to; take the good times when you can and make the most of them.
Continued job~ma for your DH, Sox.
I have to go to a job search seminar at the unemployment office, today. Ugh. Two hours of being told how to do what I've been doing. I'll need lots of coffee to make it through.
Shir, Cash and omnis and others have said wise things. This is what I have to add. Sometimes the best way to honor our loved ones, alive or dead, is to learn from their mistakes rather than repeating them. So if you find yourself feeling any guilt over the possibility that you are being disrespectful of your grandfather, remember that you don't have to have the same attitudes to life that he had in order to love him and give him the honor he is due.
{{{Sail}}} may the job search be short and brilliant.
Job~ma for Sox's hubby.
Medical ~ma for Trudy's friend's little boy.
ETA: I have been adding contacts in Facebook as I recognize Buffistae this morning, just as a heads-up.
Do we know an Andrea Miller, speaking of Facebook?
That would be Windsparrow.
