It was the wish of my father-in-law that there be no funeral. My husband has decided that instead of making the trip out to the west coast for a few days, he is going to wait until Easter break from school, and go out then. He seems to be dealing with it, does not look like he's even shed a tear. But then again, he's never been one to show any emotions, good or bad. My son, 8, never really phased on him that his Grandpa is gone, but, he's not seen his Grandpa since he was 6, so am thinking he may not really remember Grandpa. It was my 10 yr old daughter who took it the hardest. She's not really been herself today at all, even started running a mild fever. As for me, I'm not sure which way to turn. I try to comfort my daughter...trying to figure out how my son feels ... trying to understand how my husband feels. But, I guess as my husband says, yer born, you live, you die, life continues for everyone else. Perhaps tis best to celebrate his father's life, than to mourn his death.
