Sorry to hear this CP. Wouldn't wish that on anybody. It is truly crazy how similar your situation is to mine. My family in the same time period:

Lil Brother checked out
Dad cancer
Pappaw natural causes
Granny same
FIL -covid kidnapped
BIL overdose/heart

My mom had a heart attack right after my Dad died from the stress/sadness. Has had another attack, then pacemaker since and now shes a voluntary shut in thats scared to leave the house. Was a perfectly healthy little 100lb woman when my Dad got sick. She was there with me holding his other hand when my Dad died. I dont think she wants to be here anymore. Gets everything delivered except groceries that she orders and picks up without getting out of the car. Even the vet comes to her house to groom and take care of the dog.

Dont know if you're like me but the 1st three really hit me hard and i was in a dark place...then it just kept happening and I got kinda numb to it. I hate to say that...seems selfish and stupid. It was just so surreal that it was like " OK, funeral time again. How can I help? Sure I can be a pallbearer. How can I make this not be so hard on my kids? How is the wife holding up?" Kinda like running on auto-pilot. Dont know how your family got through it bud, but I am sure it was hard on everybody. Never knew yall were going through the same situation CP. If you posted something about it and I missed it then I sincerely apologize too. I know I used this very thread to vent a couple times, while I was trying to just figure out how to deal with it. I have always enjoyed your posts because you're hilarious...often "from the top rope!" And i laugh, or go to respond to a post and see your comment did it for me. Pretty sure we are about the same age, and definitely cut from the same cloth. Glad to have you as one of my VOL brethren.
