A Very Sad October 1 For Me.

October 1, 2022 6:28pm CST
I live in an apartment on the grounds of the family home. This morning my nephew told me that his father -- my brother-in-law was feeling unwell and he was planning to take him to the hospital. My son went across to assist along with another family member who is a registered nurse. When he returned shortly after and told me that my brother-in-law had passed .l could not believe what l was hearing. As l write these words my tears are flowing. His wife- my eldest sister- died in 2016. That memory is still fresh in my mind. I cannot describe how awful l am feeling right now. Pixabay image

@Kandae11 I hope that everything is worked out for everyone's best interests. When we are grieving we should not have to be worrying about anything else, I am sorry that you are going thru this. Big hugs to you.

Thank you. His extended family is very large - some arrived at the house as early as yesterday evening. My nephew will have a lot of support and l am hoping there will be no future disputes over land and property.

@Kandae11 I understand why you are very sad. I am so so sorry about the loss to you and your family. Since both parents are gone are there any kids and if so, what will happen to them with no parents.

@Kandae11 You are welcome. Since they are all adults will they take care of the autistic sibling?

There will be a lot of changes for me as well. His three children with my sister (he was married before) are all adults, but the eldest is autistic. Thank you for the condolences.

He has been the head of the family for so long, now a lot of changes are ahead. I just hope there won't be any disputes about land and holdings in the coming months. Thank you.
