How are you today?

Is feeling shitty today, really shitty

My little bro's wife died two days ago, completely out of the blue and unexpected (undiagnosed blood clot in the brain) She died pretty much instantly. They have an 11 year old daughter, and its her birthday tomorrow.

My bro was at work when his wife collapsed at home. The 11 year old called the emergency services and rode the ambulance with her mum. She's pretty traumatised at the moment. Not talking to anyone.

Ive just spent the day with undertakers making the funeral arrangements as my bro is in no state to be dealing with anything right now.

My mom is flying in from Boston tomorrow, and thats going to be another round of having to deal with the grief as Im picking her up at the airport. Death is such a horrible thing for the people left behind to deal with.

Death.....death is remarkably bad when it comes out of nowhere like it did with that poor woman..

allow me to offer you my condolences, OBW....remember your GS family is with you at all times..

and allow me to congratulate those parents, cause if an 11 year old reacted so brilliantly in the face of an emergency, it only shows the quality of her up-bringing..
