I just received word that my aunt (youngest sister of my mother) has died. :o :\'( :(

I knew she was in hospital (I even visited her there) because of an inflammation of the pericardium. She was seriously ill and short of breath, but it wasn't life threatening. A day or two ago, things deteriorated and she had to be taken to another hospital where she was put on the IC. And now today, she has died... I can't believe it. She was my favourite aunt. This is a very sad day. :\'(

FYI: My aunt never got married and has had no children.

My condolences.  This must be very difficult for you and your family coming so quickly, and unexpected.
:\'(

I had an uncle who died seven years ago this May of liver disease; he was single his whole life too. In fact, both of my living uncles are still single and kidless..

I'm sorry to hear that, Henk  :(

What a dreadful shock for your family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers :(

I'm sorry about your Aunt,Henk. :(

More sad news from my family... :\'(

Today, an older sister of my mother has died, well in her 80s. It was my mother's last living sibling.
My aunt's health had been feeble for quite a while, so her death comes as no real surprise - yet, it is only four weeks ago since the death of my other aunt. We were/are still in the process of dealing with her inheritance (clearing her house etc.).

Sometimes life ain't fair at all...

Thank you too, Howard, although the loss to me is not half as big as it is to my mother who has lost two sisters in the span of four weeks.

Sorry to hear about more sad news, Henk.. :\'( So two of your aunts died within four weeks of each other? That's really sad.

What about your mother? Is she still around too? ???

My father lost a brother and a sister four weeks apart in 2002 - one suddenly, the other one had been ill...

My sincere condolences to you, Henk  :(

I'm so sorry.

Henk, I am so sorry to hear about your family's losses. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry to hear this, Henk.  My thoughts are with you and your family during this extremely difficult time. 

I lost my brother 11 years ago to diabetes. :(


I cannot imagine how that must feel. I hope you have positive memories of the time you were given together.
You may have mentioned this before, but was he younger or older than you? Not that it matters much - losing a sibling is always a painful experience.

Very sad news.  I hope your mother keeps her spirits up,. Very sad.

The similarities are striking. I'm not gonna say that I know how you feel or felt, 'cause I don't know you that well, and I don't know how close you were/are as a family. Nevertheless I hope you and your father have recovered somewhat of the double loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks for your concern, Jeffrey. It's much appreciated.
Both my father and mother are still alive, as I've probably mentioned somewhere else before. I'm thinking of maybe posting a picture of the two of them, although I'm a bit hesitant. It feels like I'm violating their privacy. :-\\

:\'( Henk..I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have lost several older family members in the last few years, its very hard. My hardest was my favorite grandfather..He was in a car accident and while he was lying in his car he was mugged..several bystanders watched in horror. he died on the way to the hospital..That will haunt me forever..Its so hard to lose a loved one, I feel for you. Stay strong for your mom..sincerely..Sherry

I cannot imagine how that must feel. I hope you have positive memories of the time you were given together.

He was my older brother. :(
