Dr Grunch, I so happy to hold this space with you. You pour so much joy and knowledge into us. Sharing your grief is welcome. Blessing and condolences to your husband and all of your family members.
That's immediately my first thought after I saw that photo as well! She will live ok thru them all, but that twin face on their daughter will be their daily reminder of her ❤
Big hugs to you and yours, Dr. Grunch. Grief is weird, for sure. I lost my mom on leap day this year (my Dad in ‘21) . It’s been up & down. Yesterday, July 1st, would’ve been her 81st birthday. Sitting in my hospital bed, I sang “You Are My Sunshine” to her & hugged myself & sent it to her. 🕊️to you & yours
Grief is seldom linear ..its individualized...its a tremendous amount of love💝with no where to go...its unchartered waters you must navigate together⛵️🙏💝
Thank you for sharing. Grief is different for everyone. Please hug your loved ones. Please remember no one can tell you how to grieve, and it may take a long time. She looks like an amazing woman and you had lots of memories. Hugs! Thoughts and prayers! 🙏🙏🙏
🙏May God ❤ watch over you and comfort your family in the coming weeks. ✝️ I deal with Death on a daily basis for work and it NEVER gets easy especially when loved ones were not afforded the ability to say Goodbye in person. I am so sorry.
You will find the right words to share the news with your children. When my mother passed my daughter was inconsolable that night. What I didn't realize until later was how deep her grief was. Definitely be open to therapy for the kiddos.
I lost my Mom in law in 1991 right before. Mother's Day..she witnessed to me about Jesus right before she passed away. She had cancer. I made three promises to her. One that I would be Baptized by emersion, that o I wouldn't cry at her grave side. I kept all that she wanted me to do. My calico kitty conceived kittens that same day. I now go to the church I was Baptized in. Jesus has gotten me through so much including the loss of my parents. So sorry for your loss and prsyers for your family sent up.💔🙏😭
April 7th was 2 years since my mother in-law passed. I miss her so much. I really loved and still love her. My husband and I had the honor of taking care of her the last couple months of her life.
Dr Grunch I also am going through the same thing with grief. I recently lost my father on 6/12 and I miss him dearly. He also had some health issues but his death still was unexpected. Thank you for sharing your story and life with us. Makes me feel not alone. My condolences to you and your family. ❤
I send all the love in the world to your family 🫂 Amazon & Walmart online has all the things you listed plus caskets that are beautiful and much more affordable for families. ❤
Lots of us have lost parents. Grief sucks and your journey with grief is like a finger print. No two grief journeys match and it is your own. Our hearts are crying with you tonight because we know it's hard. The one thing I took away from when my Dad passed was the comments and memories people shared. Stories I hadn't heard from people who knew him a long time. That and the gathering of family. Praying for you and your family during this time and for you and your husband as you tell your kids.
I am so incredibly sad for all of you. Losing a parent is like losing an era. You're forced to start a new one. Empty and emotionally torn. Hugging all of you across these cold air waves.🤗
Betsy, a lot of people are so proud of you, your husband, and your family. Death is weird. The process is weird. Cleaning up someone’s things that were meant to be private and personal is weird. You ask yourself questions like, “Should I even be touching this secret bag of pebbles my loved one hid in her dresser?” It all feels so weird. You are not alone in that. It is also completely normal to hyper focus on things that you normally wouldn’t- duck shaped urns, weird photos on walls, etc. We’re happy to be your support system on social media. I am wishing you strength for you and your husband + family.
So sorry for you and your family! And mourning your mother-in-law maybe means sharing your grief. Talking about her is also honoring her ! My sincere condolences.💚
I lost my dad when I was 17, I say this to say grief is truly such an odd thing. The waves of emotions are truly that, praying for you and your family❤
My daddy had fallen on a Thursday. He had lupus and diabetic neuropathy. The squad came and he refused the ED. The next night his blood glucose dropped. The squad came again he refused the ED. Saturday he got up, got dressed and sat in his recliner. Around 11 am his breathing changed. I was called by my stepmother for help. I told her to call 911. They started compressions and intubated him in the driveway. Hours later they pronounced. His potassium was 9 due to lupus nephritis that was undetected by his physicians. This is why he couldn’t keep a rhythm. It will 4 years August 1st. A feels like forever and yesterday at the same time. I’m very sorry for your loss. I’ll be thinking of your family in this difficult time. Wishing you peace
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. My husband’s mother passed very suddenly in 1974 of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm so I understand the significance of the sudden loss. Cling to each other and treasure the many memories you shared with her. Words are inadequate…
My heart goes out to you right now, Dr. Betsy.😢 so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your grief. Sending deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your husband. ❤😢
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I’m grieving my sweet mom’s death. It’s four months today. You are numb right now. Take care of yourself and make others take care of themselves. Day by day you will rise and do what’s needed. It’s been hard but I’m doing it and you will too❤❤❤
Dr Grunch, sending you condolences and prayers for comfort. Just remember that there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Ive had to help with preparations with my dad and my ex husband. Take your time, just because you are a doctor doesn’t mean you have to be superwoman.
So sorry for you family's loss. Praying for all of you. I also have had unexpected loss with my 27 yr old daughter many yrs ago. So hard. Grammy from Texas
So sorry for your loss. I lost both my parents- mom in 2012 and my father 2 years ago. I also lost my FIL 6 months ago. Grieving is definitely still hard.
Very sorry for the sudden loss of your mum in law Dr Betsy especially for your hubby and father in law , yourself , the kids and all . 🇦🇺🦘 best prayers and bless her in heaven .
I'm so sorry to hear it Dr. Grunch. Please give my condolences to your husband. My mother in law was my very good friend and when I lost her it was so hard. Bless you and your family.
I am mixed on whether a sudden loss or a loss you've seen coming is worse. I have experienced both and I cannot say that it is better either way. Loss just sucksucks. I am so sorry for the loss to your family.
I'm so sorry, grief is hard. Be kind to yourselves. It can be sneaky and pop up when not expecting it, I'd a tear come to my eye yesterday for a parent gone nearly 25 years.
I’m so sorry, Dr. Betsy. Please give yourself a lot of grace as you process all of this. Sending positive energy to Ray, you, the kids, and Ray’s father as you all remember Ray’s Mother. May you find Peace within the grief.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. We lost my MIL in March, and my mother on Mother's Day. It's been a rough year. I'm so sorry you're suffering such a loss. Please give your husband my deepest condolences.
Sorry for your loss. It really hurts. I truly understand. It's almost a year since my Dad passed and it still hurts and doesn't feel real.You are not alone. Thinking of you all.
Dr. Grunch, I'm so very sorry about the loss of your Mother in Law. Sending you and your family blessings of comfort and strength during this very difficult time. ❤❤🙏
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I lost my Mum in November. There’s nothing I can say or do for you to help you get through your grief. Please look after yourself (before patients, they can wait). I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers xx 🙏💕
Dr Grunch, I so happy to hold this space with you. You pour so much joy and knowledge into us. Sharing your grief is welcome. Blessing and condolences to your husband and all of your family members.
Any loss is hard, a sudden loss is harder. May god bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Bea is a spitting imagine of her Grandma! Sorry for your family’s loss.
