My Aunt has passed away .... I need a hug

United Kingdom
December 23, 2015 7:54am CST
I usually try to keep my posts upbeat and jolly ....but at the moment I just feel that I need a hug. My Aunt died this morning and it has left us all in a state of shock. Though in her 90's she was an inspiration to us all and was showing no signs of being her age. On Monday she phoned as she always does and was bright and chirpy. Yesturday she got a bit breathless and simply went to bed ..... never to wake. Sorry to share such sad news but it is kind of helping me through it to write it down.x RIP Auntie Joan x

I am sad for your loss and I know it is really impacting your entire family. On the other hand I am sure that it was good to go this way, fully functioning to the end.. What a grand example to have go before you.

Sorry to hear that, though I must say that I envy the way she passed on. At least it is peaceful, and she had lived to a ripe, old age. I wish that when I reach her age, I will pass on peacefully too.

That must be the easiest way for her to go, though I understand your devastation.

Sad to hear that. People close to you create such voids when they are no longer there, but that is the definition of life. It goes on in any circumstances.

Sorry for your loss. I just got a phone call from one of my sister telling me that our last aunt on my dad's side passed away last night.

I am so sorry to hear that. Please accept my condolences. At such a bright time of the year, it might be hard. :( Just sit down and take a smile. Recollect all the fond memories you have of her. Think as if she has gone to a better place to spend the Christmas. She will always be there with you in your heart. She must have lived quite a life. Hope you'll do good later on. Be strong and stay safe. *Hugs*
