    Default How to handle sorrow?

    Hey,

    My family is in deep sorrow as of now, my son's mother's mom passed away last Saturday (Nov 19).
    She had just turned 57.

    It all happened very quickly, apparently she had talked to her husband only a couple of minutes before she went unresponsive.

    He talked to her whilst he entered the bathroom to get ready for bed and nothing seemed odd, a couple of minutes later when he went up to the bedroom, she was gone.


    Right now it's kind of hard to explain to Noah what happened to his grandma, but I think he understands in a way.. his way..

    Yesterday he told me whilst playing with a toy helicopter that he was going fly so high that he could bring her back from heaven.....

    And he also had an explanation why he is so loud when he's talking.. "I'm talking to grandma in heaven.."

    Noah still got his Grandpa and I will make sure he will visit as much as possible, it's important that his Grandpa don't get left alone, we will all try to help him out.

    I have also decided to give away 50% of my commission that I bring in to him, he do now have to live on 4,500SEK (615 USD) a month, I won't allow that since he owns a house and winter is coming..

    Now you know why I won't be as active for the rest of the month.

    My condolences to you and your family. I lost a sister of 10 years old and it was hard for me and my other little brothers. But that is how is life.

    Unfortunately there's nothing to do to handle sorrow when something like this happens. I know it's difficult, but stay strong, as Zoorana wrote. My condolences to you and your family.

    Hi Hakan,

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Children have their own way to understand and cope with terrible situations; Noah seems to be a strong little boy.

    I wish your family well.

    Thank you all!
    This is why GPWA and this industry is so great, if someone feels to open up their heart you're not met by cold but warm people.

    Thank you again it really helps out.

    Love
