need advice talking to grandmother after grandfather died
My grandfather died this morning. I havent seen him in years, and I havent talked to my dad yet. Both of my parents are going over to England as of this afternoon, and I am going to call my grandmother tommorow morning.
I have no clue what to say. I am insensitive, but do not want to come off that way on the phone. What do you say?
"Don't worry, things will work out."
"At least now you don't have to take care of him"
I can not convey any emotion at all in my voice. When we moved to America they thought I had a speach problem (english accent) and put me into speach therapy all through elementary school. Now I have a flat monotone that sounds sarcastic whenever I try to be serious.
