Had a bit of a shock my uncle died today

He died aged 54 of a heart attack just 3 months after his dad died. I have no idea how my grandma is going to cope with this, she was upset when my mum told her but it clearly has sunk in yet.

I didnt't see much of my uncle but I was very close, he was so genuine and spent so much time looking after his sick wife, god knows how she will cope now.

He is also the one who encouraged me to go university.

It still hasn't really sunk in with me yet as its come out of the blue. At least when my grandad died I already knew he had cancer so although it was still sudden it wasn't that unexpected.

 

So sorry, man. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Warmest regards
Steve

 

Really sorry to hear this AT

 

My condolences AT, really sorry to hear of your loss.

 

Thanks, we will probably have to up to Cockermouth some time for the funeral and may before.

I guess its what happens when you get over your relatives die, the image of my grandmas face when my mum first told her is somthing that will stay with me for ever though

 

Tough break

 

thats sad, mad eeven worse by the fact it was sudden and unexpected.

all the best to your family and yourself.

 

My sympathies AT - sorry to hear that.

 

Thanks my mums at my grandmas again today. It still hasn't sunk with any of us, he was very over weight though and spent so much time worrying about other people (like his ill wife) he didn't look after him self. He had a stressful job and would eat chips nearly every night for tea.

He didn't smoke or drink but I suppose all them fatty foods did him no good. He didn't look too well at my grandads funeral, he was quite sweaty and had a very red face. When my mum first told him he had died I instantly knew straight away it would have been a heart attack. So thats not a surprise, its just a shock its happened now.

 

Sorry to hear that!!
