Up to 5 dead as of last Friday. Just seems to be a thing lately.
- one acquaintance suicide - one heart attack of a friend of a friend - elderly next door neighbour found on kitchen floor - son of my boss via overdose - one of my uncles of a genetic disease that caught up to him
Hope that's the last of them for a while.
I should probably put this on my own thread but since I rarely post there I’ll just say you are not alone and if I choose to and get the inclination to follow through I’ll put the details there. But you’re not alone. Probably won’t make it any better or easier but in good company.
- 25 plus year friend, 63, very rare brain tumor - Wild girl (dated) 46, recently learned death certificate lists possible complications of chronic alcohol (or something to that effect) left behind daughters now 19 and 21 - colleague recruited me to new start up during Covid, 57, never married, long resume, challenging to work with/for, not at all what met them eyes- even before her suicide - drummer/good friend I’ve known since my teens, 68 sudden cardiac arrest - two more with devastating diagnosis, the clock is ticking
I keep saying - ENOUGH ALREADY.
I still feel as I long have. No aches or pains, great shape, great genes including grandparents living to mid 90s, uncle 89 and counting living as if he were 70 or 75. But my friends are slowing down. Life has changed. The world has changed.
