I am so sorry for your loss, and sorry that your father will not get to meet your daughter. It is very sad that he will not get to meet her, but it sounds like he was excited for you. Please take care of yourself during this emotional time.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad when I was 18 and I still miss him a ton, especially around big events, like graduating from college, getting married and, of course, gearing up for a baby. Time does make things better, but the pain never really goes away. Take care of yourself and tell your daughter lots of stories about her grandad. She will know him, just in a different way. Hugs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad suddenly 6 weeks before DS was born and still struggle with the fact that he never met DS. I'm sure I always will. People also expected us to name DS after my dad, but we also opted against it. DS's name is my maiden name, though, so it does honor him...although we chose it before my dad passed. I didn't want my son forever associated with my dad's passing, if that makes any sense. Take care of yourself. I found therapy really helped me process through all my emotions. Feel free to PM me if you ever want to talk.

A friend of mine lost her fil around the same point and I think being able to talk about the baby as he was dying helped them feel like he knew his first grandchild...so no, don't change the name....
