sadly my mother in law has passed away this morning, my wife phoned me at 1.30 to tell me the sad news.
i have now got to tell my children when they wake that thier beloved nan has died. i know how i am going to do it but its not something i am looking forward to doing.
feel free to ignore this post........... i just felt like i needed to get it off my chest.
Very sad to read your news Rugeley - there's never an easy way round something like this, telling children that a beloved family member has passed away - you can only believe that they are always with you because they're forever in your hearts - will be thinking of you all over the coming days
That has to be one of the worst things a person has to do.
Children appear to take bad news better than adults, but thoughts are with you and your Wife and children at this sad time. xx
So sorry to hear this rugeley - it's a very difficult thing to have to do. You haven't said how old the children are and if they are very young they probably won't understand what it means. They are likely to ask all sorts of questions too and perhaps that will be good as it will be a way for all of you to share memories of their nan together.
Take care

I'm sorry, that is such sad news. be strong for your wife and children. you'll know best how to break this to your children. we will be thinking of you all today x
im so sorry rugeleyboy! give your kids time, it can take time with them to realize she is gone.It took three days for it to sink in with me when my mother died, i was11.
My thoughts are with you.
I'm so sorry RB . Your kids may be a little young to understand the concept of death but take time to talk to them about their nana and about the good times. Also if you have photographs that helps too.
