Please don't feel guilty. The loss of a good man to death is a tragedy, but we can have faith that it isn't forever. The loss of a good man to a bad man is more devastating, because left unchecked, the loss of that will last forever. So really, it's because of your faith that these two losses have hit you differently. You have an understanding of the deeper issue involved, of dying with Christ vs. living without Him. I'm so sorry about your dad, and thankful that you'll see him again.  Neak, I think you hit it right on the head. I also told my mom that it's a lot harder for her to deal with my father's passing because he was a part of her everyday life, where he wasn't like that for me. Bampot was a part of my everyday, so removing him from that seemed to bring up many more triggers than my father's passing. I'm not my usual self, but I'm not as bad off as I was last week. Progress not perfection.

(((((Scotty)))) You, your boys and family are in my thoughts and prayers. You are an amazing mother and I know you will do everything to help your boys come to terms with and grieve the loss of their grandfather. Their love will also give you the strength you will need during the coming days and months ahead. I think Neak summed it up nicely. It is a different type loss and the way we grieve and our emotions can be different. Be gentle on yourself .... although I understand to well how you feel. Isildur's current actions overshadow my grieving procees for my mother. Thank you for sharing your mother's thoughts and feelings, it helps having this perspective.

Peace be with you.

Scotty Happy Birthday and have a truly loving family Christmas with your children and Mum, friends and other family.
I have just caught up with a bit of MB today and wish to extend my and Aussies sincere sympathy for your Dads passing.
Lots of love from both of us

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. First birthday without my dad, and it was hard, as I expected. There were some bright moments, and I got to spend time with the close family that I have left. Christmas is going to be hard as well.
