My Grandpa's wife (my Grandma) passed away in january after battling brain cancer. Losing the love of his life has been devastating, and he's going through depression, loneliness, and grievance. I can only understand the loss he is experiencing, but as a result – he is about to do something very rash that has my family is very concerned. About two months ago, he was visiting my family, and he was going on and on about a senior internet dating site that he found. While we were glad to hear he’s considered dating again (no one wants him to be alone!), the thought of internet dating leaves us nervous. He’s very vulnerable – he’s 86, not the best health, has a lot of assets that could be at risk should he remarry, etc. We didn’t understand why he wasn’t finding dates through his church friends, local senior center, gym, etc- but even more surprising, he was talking to women from all over the country (it’s Naija after all… women his age EVERYWHERE). We advised him to be safe, reminded him that you never know who you’re talking to online, and stressed that we’re happy he’s dating, but we want him to go about it in a slow, mindful way. Well – he didn’t listen to our advice because we found out a few weeks ago that he met a woman who lives in north, he loves her  and he might want to marry her. AND –he’s leaving tomorrow to go to North to visit her for a month.  (Seriously.) We wereshocked.Completely shocked. Upon research – we found out this woman has been married three times, her last husband just died, she's 20 years+ younger than him, and seems totally suspect. As we’re concerned about his welfare – spiritually, emotionally, financially and physically; our family; and the legacy of our grandmother – he’s become unresponsive to our well-intentioned concerns. His six kids wrote him a well- thought, loving letter outlining their concerns, and he went and shared it with this woman, totally insulted  . My dad reached out to myGrandpa’s pastor to talk with him (my grandpa has been a devout Baptist his entire life) – and when the pastor reached out to my Grandpa, he swore off church and hasn’t been there for weeks(bad grandpa  ). My Dad even found the son of thiswoman and asked what he thought of this, and he told my dad that his mom is essentially crazy, and they don’t have a good relationship. We don’t know what to do next. The more his kids push it – the more it drives my Grandpa to this woman. Beyond physically stopping him from going on the plane, we can’t prevent him from leaving tomorrow and potentially getting married out of spite of his family. He’s a very stubborn man, and he’s completely ignoring the family that loves him – the family he built. This woman has managed to manipulate her way into his life – and he’s falling for it. What can we do? Seriously – any advice is good advice at this point. Abi conji wan kill ma grandpa ni   |
