I'm with Bradford. Your kids and grandkids need you as much as you need them. A grandpa like you has a lot to add to those kids' lives over the coming years - teaching them things, enjoying your "new" boat with them and just bring their grandpa.
There are a lot of us guys who have never met you in person but care about you deeply. Over the 10+ years I've been hanging around the board, you've been consistently a strong, honest, giving, caring guy. You are appreciated and respected by a whole lot of us and I read your daughter's post a few days ago - there's sure no doubt about how much she loves you.
There's no reason to stop crying until you're ready - it doesn't mean in any way that you're not strong. Be strong and grieve your great loss and ride along on the prayers of your family and friends while you're feeling numb.
