Since I don't know circumstances, I won't assume, but yes, that's how it goes, that missing and little reminders, out of nowhere that kind of sucker punch at times.
Everything's up in the air now. I hope that it shifts so you can make it there this year. All of this is so hard on everyone, to say the least.
He was 84 with dementia and cancer. He was in a nursing home and I wasn't allowed in due to covid. Didn't see him since March 2020 and he died in July. I was the dude who told his doctor to up his Endone as he was in pain. He passed away in his sleep, in peace, and I like to think he's wherever one goes and is with my mum [who died at 59 - Cancer].
It was...Not so nice. I'd cared for him since my mum died and with no siblings here it was taxing. It is what it is though, I had that time with him as dswigle and I were commenting a few days ago. [She did the same].
I hope to get up there but I'm not sure I will this year as the wet-season comes in soon. That high in Australia is tropical and it's a hellish time to be there with humidity, heat and rainfall. We'll see.
Yeah, she was pretty young. Unfortunately she chose no treatment other than mumbo-jumbo Eastern medicine; poultices and brews. She died poorly although with copious amount of morphine was in no pain at least. Dad had an open wound on his entire foot, lack of circulation [renal failure] meant it wouldn't heal; could see the ligaments through it. It was pretty horrific. They are at peace though, now. I'm ok with it. I'll die someday also, we all will.
