Mi abuelo acaba de morir.
He called for my grandma and she went in and held his hand. My aunt was with him and noticed that he was no longer breathing. They say he went peaceful. I only wish I could go home, but I can't. :(

¡Hola!, Seitheach:
I'm reminded that you foreshadowed your grandfathers death in your replies to Zenejero on the occasion of her aunt's passing. The soft side of a soldier. How easy it is for us to forget that you, like the rest of us, are still only a guy. A guy with a family and a nucleus of love, belonging and affection.
Recently, I think many members of SpanishDict have drawn closer together as a community of mutual supporters. Your loss will touch many of our feelings and sensations in unique ways.
If we coiuld be with you physically, I believe there would be a closing of ranks around you and your brother. Right now.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers today. Find a contemplative place in the noise and commotion of your surroundings and reminisce on your grandfathers life. Have a quiet day.
Warmest personal regards,
Moe
Hola Phil: Acabo de conectar y veo esta triste noticia.
Desde España también mi más sentido pésame y espero que tu abuela no lo pase muy mal. Tu abuelo ha tenido suerte de tener una familia tan dedicada y de poder morir en su casa rodeado de los suyos. Esto sería una de las razones por irse en paz.
Un abrazo para toda la familia.
Ah, Seitheach, lamento lo de tu abuelo.
It's very difficult to be so far away. Now is a time when a soldier's war becomes all the much harder. I hope that you can find some comfort in the fact that my thoughts and prayers go to you and your family. I appreciate the sacrifices you are making...many blessings, my friend!

My tears any prayers are with you. I know that nothing I say will heal your pain, losing a loved one is never easy, but knowing that she was not alone and went peacefully is always something to be thankful for. To go hand-in-hand with your loved one...okay, I have to stop now.
I am thinking of you during this time.
Much love from my family to yours...
There are never words to say that can begin to express an understanding of another's loss.It is all so individual and personal.I only know I wish you were around your loved ones more and I hope that can be your reality soon.Take care of yourself.
That's sad. Both my grandparents are dead. I wish I had spent more time with them. It sucks when you don't realize how precious time is until there isn't any time left. I only hope there is a place where I can meet them again. I would sit and listen to her poetry. I would sit and listen and eat her spaghetti and enjoy it.
Díos te bendiga, Seitheach, ye tu familia. Lo siento para tu pérdida, amigo. Que Dios le conceda descanso de su alma.
Pero no queremos, hermanos, que ignoréis acerca de los que duermen, para que no os entristezcáis como lo hacen los demás que no tienen esperanza.
Porque si creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, así también Dios traerá con El a los que durmieron en Jesús.
Por lo cual os decimos esto por la palabra del Señor: que nosotros los que estemos vivos y que permanezcamos hasta la venida del Señor, no precederemos a los que durmieron.
Pues el Señor mismo descenderá del cielo con voz de mando, con voz de arcángel y con la trompeta de Dios, y los muertos en Cristo se levantarán primero.
Entonces nosotros, los que estemos vivos y que permanezcamos, seremos arrebatados juntamente con ellos en las nubes al encuentro del Señor en el aire, y así estaremos con el Señor siempre.
Por tanto, confortaos unos a otros con estas palabras.
Lo siento. I lost my grandmother this year. Even though the end is expected, it is no less difficult.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I'm so sorry seith. My most deepest condolences.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Phil. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Our lives are not meant to come out even; they only overlap...Such poignant words...such true words.
I am very sorry for your loss and your distance from home.
Our prayers surround you.
I just read this as well. I am so so so sorry for your loss. I hope you grieve in peace. You will find the good days will eventually outgrow the bad days. I lost my abuelo 2 years ago and as mentioned before , I wish I had of spent more time with him. My thoughts and love are with you.
Thank you all for your responses.
Phil!!!
Me acabo de conectar hace unos minutos, y me he encontrado con la noticia. Demás está decirte que te envío mi más sentido pésame, y que espero que tu familia esté bien y que tu abuela se recomponga.
Al menos tu abuela pudo estar con él en esos últimos momentos, así como algunos otros miembros de la familia,y él tuvo la oportunidad de morir en su propia casa, y no en un frío hospital (o cualquier otro lugar).
Lamento escuchar esto, pero espero que recibas un abrazo gigantesco de mi parte, y mis mejores energías en este momento. Yo no pude estar con mi abuelo cuando murió (para el día de mi cumpleaños número 14), pero disfruté años de su compañía.
Espero que estés muy bien!
Un cálido abrazo!

Que lastima. :-( Siento su dolor.... Mi rezas son con si y siento pena. Lo siento que estas tan lejos de casa!!!! No se que es que te crees pero me gusta creer que su abuelo es en un lugar mas bueno, espero que esta en el cielo.
