A sudden loss.

Unread post by Fretless »

Guys,

I might be offline for a while. My wife had a stroke in the night and passed away, without suffering, this afternoon.

Her condition with progressive Alzheimer's was slowly worsening - so perhaps this is a blessing in disguise.

Best wishes to all.

So sorry to hear of your loss, mate. Please don't neglect your own health, and try to find a calm spot to rest inside the maelstrom. You've got my email if you want to "talk".

Are we all invited to the funeral?

For a bit of forum solidarity?

My thoughts are that if I can't (at least offer to) be there for my forum mates at a time like this, when can I be there?

I can't make her come back. But - maybe, depending on a few ifs and buts - I could be there for her funeral.
