one of the hardest things I've had to do...

XHonusWagnerX - 2-18-2011 at 10:10 AM

I got home from work last night at about 5:00pm and got a call from my girlfriends aunt. My girlfriend had just gotten home from work too and it was very odd that her aunt was calling the house for me. As I’m on the phone with her just looking at my girlfriend I could tell she knew something was wrong. After I hung up I had to tell her that her father had just died. He wasnt sick, was only in his mid 50′s and it was a total shock to everyone. As of now we’re still not sure what happened, but he had the day off from work and after his wife (my girlfriends mom) left for work he just never got up. She got home from work at about 5:00pm and he was still in the bed.

Fuck man I'm sorry for you and your girls loss

BDx13 - 2-18-2011 at 10:29 AM

So sorry to hear this news, josh.
That's just shocking.

I'm the bad-news deliverer in my wife's family, as well.
They always know and it never gets easier.

Best to you, your girlfriend and her family.

panzerkreuzer - 2-18-2011 at 10:31 AM

this sounds horrible.
my condolence to your girlfriend, her family and you.
keep your heads up.

XnMeX - 2-18-2011 at 10:33 AM

I wish the best to you and Jenns in getting thru this. I lost my dad at 13 very sudden. Very tough to deal with.

Furly - 2-18-2011 at 10:55 AM

Wow... so sorry to hear that.
It says a lot that her family knows your strength and felt the news coming from you would be a tad bit easier to take.

tireironsaint - 2-18-2011 at 11:22 AM

Oh man, that's rough. As Furly said, it's a good indication of what people think of you that they knew to ask for your help in this. I hope your lady handles everything ok.

Discipline - 2-18-2011 at 11:33 AM

Sorry to hear this Josh. My condolences to your girl. All you can do is be there for her and support her through this horrible situation.

DAK - 2-18-2011 at 11:43 AM

I can't imagine having to do something like that. Hang in there.

MattyA - 2-18-2011 at 11:46 AM

Sorry to hear that, my condolences to your girlfriend, and her family.

newbreedbrian - 2-18-2011 at 12:19 PM

Shitty to hear that Josh. Hope you guys are doing ok.

Johnny_Whistle - 2-18-2011 at 12:40 PM

Wow, very sorry to hear this. Awful to have to deliver news like that.

morgan - 2-18-2011 at 02:03 PM

Sorry to hear this. My condolences to yo and your girlfriend's family.

XHonusWagnerX - 2-18-2011 at 02:12 PM

thanks guys... I'm at work because there was nothing I could do to help today and her family is really big so theres a lot of people around. Shes with her mom and I'm leaving here in about an hour to meet up with her over there. I'm sure no one is doing 'good' but I hope that they are doing as well as possible.

One of the biggest concerns was my GFs neice. Shes 5 years old and loves her Pepere (grandfather). He baby sat her usually 2 days a week after she got out of school so its gonna be really big for her. Shes old enough to know someone is gone, but not old enough to understand death.

sentrand - 2-18-2011 at 02:16 PM

sorry to hear this.

gavin - 2-18-2011 at 02:37 PM

mike_ - 2-18-2011 at 02:48 PM

My parents are in their mid-50's. I don't even want to think about it. This is so wrong. My condolences.

ChadBeantown - 2-18-2011 at 03:18 PM

Sorry to hear this news Josh. My condolences to you and your girlfriend.

SS76 - 2-18-2011 at 04:52 PM

Sorry for your loss, that's a tough thing to do.

JawnDiablo - 2-18-2011 at 07:24 PM

Sorry to hear this Josh.
I had to deliver the news about my brother dying to my parents a couple years ago.
It was ugly man.
nothing makes situations like this easy.
My sincere condolences.
It's good she has you for support thru this.

Spoiler - 2-18-2011 at 07:51 PM

Josh,I wish there was words. Times like this is the hardest part of someones life.Try to stay strong for her,but don't be too much of a "man" to cry with her as well. My sincere condolences. Bless her and her family...and you as well.

When my aunt,my mom's younger sister was murdered about 10 years ago.I got the phone call from my sister.I was the closest person to my parents house,so I knew I was going to have to be the one to tell her.That drive to their house was the hardest thing I remember ever doing in my life.I had the sickest and saddest feeling I have ever had.I'm just letting you know that I understand how hard something like this is.

Let us know if you need anything at all Josh. We are all here for the both of yous.If you can give me an address,I would love to send some flowers or a card.

necrobutcher - 2-18-2011 at 07:57 PM

My condolences to you and your girl. It's bad enough when expected, this is even worse given how sudden it is.

Colin - 2-18-2011 at 08:32 PM

that's terrible to hear, I wish the best to you two

BKT - 2-18-2011 at 09:15 PM

Keep that chin up brother. Good to hear you are being her rock during this time. That is all a good man can do.

My thoughts are with you and the family.

BKT.

Mark Lind - 2-18-2011 at 10:01 PM

That's awful.

Brit - 2-18-2011 at 11:13 PM

That's terrible. I can't even imagine, my parents are in their mid 50s... Christ. So sorry

We love Bud. Hang in there.

XHonusWagnerX - 2-19-2011 at 01:20 PM

well everything is (mostly) in place. The wake is Monday and the funeral is Tuesday. Then after that I guess we try to go back to normal, but I know she wont for a long time.

Thanks to everyone for the support!!

MikeResist - 2-19-2011 at 03:00 PM

Hey Josh, condolences to you and your girlfriend. Telling someone something like that is really hard. I had to tell one of my good friends that a friend of ours had died back when I just got out of highschool, it was real hard.

thedog - 2-19-2011 at 05:20 PM

So sorry man. i hope everyone is doing as good as possbile.

clevohardcore - 2-20-2011 at 10:39 AM

Josh, man I am sorry to hear this bro. I agree, they must have felt conficdent in you to deliver such a message to her in a mature fashion. Common sense would say that as we age we have to do things like this more often, but you never think of it until you actually do. Give her the strength to deal with such a loss especially if she we really close to him. She will need it. Times like this really matter in a relationship much more than any other. Be her rock.

XHonusWagnerX - 2-22-2011 at 03:05 PM

Wake was yesterday. Funeral was today. Man it was hard. Brought back a lot of memories about my grandparents passing away.

Time heals all wounds I guess. Hang in there Furly.

Furly - 2-22-2011 at 08:57 PM

Thanks Josh. You too!

Dave - 2-23-2011 at 12:14 PM

sorry to hear the sad new josh. Give our best to your G/F and her family.
