not sure when exactly my wife was not able to fill me in on details yet with everything that happens in a time like this , but her eldest brother a few years my junior passed , if she was not working in a situation that wont allow her to come home right now i suspect i might know more but ....it was a difficult way to end the day ,

i am still trying to process this so forgive the sketchiness , im a bit in the dark at this point , they will be breaking the news to her mother tomorrow , ill be in support as needed , this was sudden and unexpected , not the mothers day i would have wished in any way for her , understand its never a good time - i only wonder at gods way of presenting at the worst time possible , we have already lost my wifes youngest brother to a TBI and a daughter that cut him off from the family , not sure how much grief her mother needed in her life - she is a good woman that devoted her life to others , she has been devout all her life , she was a pastor to those in hospice prior to her retirement years , not sure how this may effect her and her waining years , ive thought we might be dealing with her very soon ,

i cant say how hard this is to get old and having funerals becoming so common in my close family group , we have two weddings in early june , and now a funeral , im really getting a bit worn by all this ,

thankful fo any prayers and sorry to burden , but i had to at least get this out there to those that might expect the regular me here ,

I can relate to this especially with all the younger siblings gone already.
There were 8 of us at one time. Just down to me and sis now...
We keep learning how to live through these things, and sometimes it's not as easy as it should be..

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

I'm in the same boat. Of the core family unit only my brother remains. SW
