Over the years I have lost many friends and family...how about you?

My ex mother in law died Sunday. I’m in shock. My mother died when I was almost 14. My maternal grandmother is still alive. The others are gone.

My maternal grandmother married a guy a few years after my grandfather died of cancer. I considered my step grandpa my grandfather cos he was so good to our family. He died of an infection he contracted after going through routine heart surgery at the Cleveland clinic.

@Loke I am sorry to hear of her dying so soon…terrible…hope you are o k…

I was talking on the porch last year with my Dad. It went like this…

Me: “Hey, Dad. You hit your fifties and everyone starts dropping like flies.”

Dad: “Wait til you’re my age, son. There’s nobody left!”

(Dad will be 84 years old this January)

If we are talking about dead folks…

My best friend died at 19. Two others were killed by a drunk driver around then. My great grandmother and grandfather died, my favorite cousin was murdered, then my mom, her dad, then her mom…all my favorite people are gone.

Oh and my stepdad that I thought was my bio dad died 2 years ago, I found out last year.

My Mother died last September and I lost my Grandmother years ago.

I miss my Mom.

Love is eternal.

I’ve lost people too. I’m sorry you’ve lost so many. That’s so hard to deal with. It’s very sad

actually I’ve lost one more friend that I didn’t count and one more family member I didn’t count…so sorry for those that lost their friends and family… @Wave I do hope you have found peace with your mother’s passing.

I lost one friend in grade 10 and another in my first year of university. I was devastated.
I lost all 4 of my grandparents. I lost my brother in law. Also several other relatives (aunts, uncles, one cousin and a cousins baby).

I’m so thankful I still have my parents. They are 85 and 89. Tomorrow they celebrate their 65th anniversary.

Yeah, I’m grateful to have my mom tho, don’t wish that I hope you are not feeling that way. Be thankful for the time you do get to spend with limited family, maybe get your mom and brother a nice card for the holiday season.

I’ve lost some friends and family members.
Last year I lost 3 friends to suicide.
I lost a great uncle to liver damages due to alcholism a few years ago, and two great aunts as a result of old age ailments this year.

I have never had a close family member die and I’ve had only one friend pass away. He had a seizure in a pool then drowned.

Man that’s horrible :scream:

@anon67051439 - It was a horrible way to pass. He was only in his early 20’s also.

I lost my Aunt and my Mom since I moved you our new house @jukebox.

Seizures are horrible. I had a nonepileptic seizure that messed up my brain and caused delirium-like state, and I made a livestream on instagram saying all kinds of weird stuff (not psychotic). I was in seizures for a while and then I took a taxi with my mom to come home. I had seizures for about 3-4 months, one seizure a day.
