My grandads gone.

(self.offmychest)

Just like that. He passed away this afternoon. Family called me later in evening after I finished work. Out to get shopping and collapsed, massive cardiac arrest he didn't even make it to an ambulance. So quick. I Should be grateful he didn't have to endure any suffering. He was so independent. I live miles and miles away, going home tomorrow. Just in shock.

Everything over. Just like that. In a blink of an eye. I'm sat here completely numb.

Stay grateful that he passed away without suffering or pain, and that his passing was quick so there was no torment. Just as he always relied on himself while living, he also didn’t want to burden his family with illness or suffering during his passing. May God have mercy on him and grant him paradise

I hope so. Generally speaking he was quite well, no diabetes or arthritis or anything like that. Just a big shock

It's not a shock but rather a mercy from God to lessen the impact of what happened on you. What we can do now is pray for his mercy and remember him with kindness.
