March 2021 - Musings and Malaise

Sorry to get the new month off to a bad start but I have had some very upsetting news today. The long-standing denizens of the pub you might remember a few years ago one of my brother's was stricken with a bleed on the brain. After a long convalescence and full recovery I am sad to report that he suffered a massive brain hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital this morning. Unfortunately the doctors pronounced that there was nothing they could do and they turned the ventilator off early this afternoon. My thoughts are currently with his wife and 3 children and their families and also with our mother who I can't go and see due to the pandemic restrictions. Fortunately my survivng sister can so at least she's not alone right now.

Oh I'm so sorry. Crushing news and made worse by restrictions. I hope you can find a place to heal and come back to the good memories soon.

>1 AHS-Wolfy: Oh no. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

My brother lost his step-daughter this past weekend. She had a series of seizures the day after her 50th birthday. She was kept in a medically induced coma inside a chilled room. Every time they tried to bring her around the seizures would start again. After determining through brains scans that there had been a serious loss of function her family decided to let her go. I know my sister-in-law is devastated, as are my niece's surviving siblings and her own children. My brother and his wife are about to get their second vaccine doses, so they plan to drive out to Oklahoma for the funeral after they get those shots. Most of the rest of the family won't be able to go.

Thank you all. He didn't actually pass away until 1:00am today. Just goes to show that he fought until the end.

>9 clamairy: My sympathies to you and your family having to endure through such heartbreaking times.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm heartbroken for my sister-in-law and her other children, but I have had no contact with the deceased for close to 40 years. So it may sound heartless, but I have no profound sense of personal loss.

I suspect that AHS-Wolfy is devastated. So please send more good thoughts their way.
