It has been a rough couple of weeks in the Hayden household. Eleanor knew her grandfather had been sick, she saw it every time she came over for dinner — but she hadn't known how sick and how little time had been left, until it was too late.
Sure, her grandfather was never known for being all too affectionate. And between this and how he openly treated Rory and Lorelai, they were a lot of discussions and fights going on, especially from her uncle and parents. But he was nonetheless still her grandfather, the person who despite being a Princeton man had always encouraged her dreams of Yale, who had proofread all her articles and papers she had to write since Chilton, and the person who taught her how to play chess and how to get away from social gatherings if it all became too much.
Needless to say, Eleanor was devestated. She was heartbroken.
Yet, she knew she was lucky in a way. She was not alone, her Uncle Chris and her father stayed with her grandmother for as long as they could manage and even Eleanor's busy mother came and (tried) to cook comforting meals for the family.
But Eleanor couldn't handle staying in that house for too long, the memories were suffocating her. Thus, the brunette Hayden decided to stay with her mother for a couple of days, moving back into her childhood room on the Upper East Side in New York. It was funny, really. How in dark times like this, a family as distanced as hers still managed to get together and grief with each other.
