This weekend I was intending on proposing to the gf. Got everything sorted and even the weather looks like it's gong to be good. Que me coming home yesterday and finding her in tears as her grandma has just passed away :(.

Now my first thought was to just sack it off and wait a bit longer until the funeral and whatnot has happened, but then I thought this might actually cheer her up a bit!

I'm very fortunate in that I've not lost any family members (apart from when I was too young to remember) so I'm not sure what she's going through. Hence my confusion over what to do, and it's not like I can ask her as it will spoil he surprise somewhat.

I think she'd be ok with it, what I'm more worried about is when she goes back home and sees her family for the first time it will likely be for the funeral which would be an incredibly awkward conversation; "Sorry for you loss", "Congratulations on your engagement". I suppose it's down to the mindset that her family would be in. Would they just be down in the dumps and think it an extremely inconsiderate thing to do, or be grateful for a bit of happy news.

What would you suggest?
 
Wait.

If you're going to spend the rest of your lives together it's worth getting it right.
 
One life comes to a close, another beings. Kinda poetic, but I'd still wait.

Knowing what it's like to lose a loved one, it's time to let the family grieve.
