Again. No one makes it out of this life alive. But death really sucks. So, far of only been on the side of loss, clearly. They have all been different, and they have all sucked. We had enough warning that this was coming to get used to the idea that it was coming, and then get used to the prolonged period where we had the extra time with this great lady, and then wham. Brick wall.
My Sister-in-Law's Mom was our last parent who regularly attended holidays and family parties. We feel like a collective group of orphans. There is still, a couple parent of that generation in the family, one suffering from dementia, one 5 states away, and one who would not be interested in coming to the family gatherings. We are hurt. To our core.
