My Grandfather on my mother's side passed away today, at the age of 76. I don't know what else to say, my grandmother is devastated. He's been having heart problems so this was not out of the blue. Hope his next life treats him well.

All the best wishes to you and your family, @Terese. Especially your grandmother.

Extreme sorry to hear the news, Teresa. 76 is not a very old age. I am 75. Hard on women with nearly 50 years of married life behind them. As Ingledsva says 'think of all the happy memories with him'. Don't weep and ask your grandmother not to weep. Your grandfather would not have liked it. Read the Second Chapter of BhagwadGita.

BG 2.17: Which pervades the entire body you should know that to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable.
.BG 2.20: For it there is neither birth nor death at any time. It has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.
BG 2.25: It is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for it.
