I don't want to sound miserable,but only having been back from my (first for years)holiday and GS's first holiday, for little more than a day,I have just been told that my favourite Uncle died suddenly and instantly last Wednesday.
I am finding it so difficult to take in,and not give way to anger as,yes,he had a few health problems,but not the type that gave any indication that something as bad as this would happen.
My dad(eldest of six) is taking it very badly as now he has lost 50% of his siblings and they were all the youngest ones to die first,plus appeared to be in better health than Dad or my two surviving Aunts.My feelings aren't being helped by the pragmatic attitude of my brothers who feel,'It's life,Dad has to deal with it!'
I just wish I knew the right things to say to the surviving family,and for this reason am dreading the funeral.OH was also particularly fond of my Uncle,as he gave us so much practical help in the start up of our business over a decade ago,but OH too is at a loss and is being pulled in all directions mentally as he won't be able to make the funeral due to work commitments which had to be rescheduled so that we could take our break.
It seems that everytime we try to do something as a family and for each other,it never goes smoothly.
I was told years ago,that my life would never be smooth,but I just pooh-poohed the very idea,now I think that the old man who told me that,was in fact right.
If anybody has some positive thoughts that they feel they can share with me,I would really like to know them,please.
