Dad is devastated.
But he won’t even let me hug him.
Mom died 2/19/07. Now this.
Aw, man, that sucks Bosda. Try not to take it personally. He’s just so blinded with grief right now. My total uneducated guess (not knowing the man) is that he’s suffering from that rigid panic that sets in and tells you that if you bend even a little, you’re going to break. He’s probably afraid that if he softens enough to accept a hug, it won’t end until he’s sobbing in a corner, and he doesn’t want to do that to you.
Hang in there, and accept my sincere condolences.
Oh, man. I am so sorry to hear this. You’re just having a shit year, aren’t you? It won’t make you feel any better at all, but know that you’re not alone - I lost my Mom, one of my best friends and my grandmother in a period of six months. It sucks.
I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. Again, I am so sorry for your losses.

I’m so sorry to hear that.
Jeeez…I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and yours. Wishing you peace.
Not to sound too crass, but some grandmothers are in fact known to die. The fact that she was a grandmother, as opposed to say an infant, student, or young mother should be reassuring.
Again, not to sound too crass, but this is in fact the circle of life. Focus on the good memories and the fact that she lived a decent number of years.
Still, my thoughts are with you.
I missed the edit window, and upon reflection feel terrible for my knee-jerk reaction. All apologies. Having lost a Granny and my Dad within ~ a year I honestly do sympathize. But, such is life…
I’m sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss, following your other loss so soon. My best to you and your dad.
Man, that’s rough. Shitty year for dopers so far. I’m sorry man. I know there isn’t much more that we can say other than to remind you that we’re here with you.

I remember when your mother died – it was about three weeks before I lost my mom. I can’t imagine the pain your father feels right now – he probably feels like he’ll break into a million pieces if anyone hugs him. I’m guessing he feels deserted and abandoned right now – he’s lost the two most important women in his life in, what, three months? What an awful one-two punch.
I hope you have siblings or other loved ones you can turn to, because losing your grandmother must be even worse so soon after your mother’s death. Find somebody to hug, kiddo, and hang on as long as you need to. And here’s a virtual hug coming your way; you are in our thoughts and prayers on this end.
My condolences Bosda. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Is someone staying near your father right now? I hope that’s possible. 
Oh, Bosda, I’m so sorry to hear this news! I agree with what others have said about your Dad; he’s probably trying to protect himself, and maybe you. Hugs.

I’m so sorry, Bosda. Hugs and prayers for you and your dad.

I’m so sorry for your loss, coming so soon after your mother. I’m sure your dad really needs you to be there, but perhaps he’s just not ready to share his grief yet. Don’t take it personally, you both need time to grieve in your own way.
Will be thinking of you and your family.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
Mom and Lilbro were here these last few days, visiting. I showed them a chocolate rabbit I got at work (not a Spanish custom at all). Yesterday Mom gave me a handful of smaller chocolate rabbits they got from a store that had been giving them away, she said my big rabbit must’a been female.
