Sam's understanding and reaction to his Grandfather's passing

[Guest guest]

SUNDAY, JULY 29, 2012In Memory of " Jay " MayerI am taking a break from posting about the road trip to remember a very important person who touched my life and the lives of many. My father-in-law Jay Mayer was a strong, confident and caring person who loved his family, loved his community and loved his country. I don't think I could do anymore justice to the story of his life than what was presented in his eulogy which I will include in this post, but I do want to share some lessons learned, moments shared and my thoughts.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. I wondered, too, how Josiah would handle the loss of grandparents. We have not avoided taking him to funerals (when needed) so that he would be familiar with concept...although he wouldn't actually miss the person (or not much). My sibs and I cared for our parents 24/7 for several months before they passed away. When my mom died (about 6 months after my dad), Josiah (@19yo) told us "now they are together with God." I was amazed when he said it.

Thanks for your writing, Sue. I always enjoy it.

Shirley, mom to Josiah, now 23 y.o.
