Hi Access friends. Been gone for the last week. My brother Steve died unexpectedly in his sleep 11/19. He was only 52. I'm getting paranoid about answering the phone. First the leukemia, now this. Worst holiday season ever. He was my idol growing up, I can't believe he is gone. Anyone else out there lose a loved one unexpectedly?

I am so so sorry about your brother, Friday!
It must have been quite a shock since he was really relatively young.
My condolences to you and your family.

Thanks, Tess. Yes, it was a shock. No sickness or anything to warn anyone. Anyone who is interested, here is his obit and here is another article that ran the next day.

Just my dog, last week, when her hip was completely shattered after running out in front of a car. :(

Damn, Milo, that's bad, too. Did the driver stop or keep going?

Stopped. My sister and her fiance were the pair in the car, so they feel bad but, overall, it was the dog's fault.

Sorry to hear of your loss Friday! My fiance lost his brother of a brain tumour, he was only in his early 30s! My dad also lost his brother in a car crash - he was only 21 when it happened. It's very sad to lose someone so close to you. My deepest sympathy to you and your family :(

Stewart - Also sorry to hear about your dog. It can be equally as heartbreaking to lose a pet as well. My brothers dog was ran over a few years ago now, hit and run and he was absolutely devastated.

Tess: Thanks for taking the time to read the obit. Yes, I am one of eleven. I am right in the middle of the whole mess.

Rich: Yes, I am aware of that as well, and I'm getting really distracted waiting for the other shoe to drop. :(

Been away from the 'cooler for a while (been busy) but I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Friday. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about with the leukemia though. :eek: Maybe I've been away longer than I thought.

I remember when my Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer back in 1993. She only lasted two months and passed away at the first of January. I know we were fortunate to at least have that last holiday season to spend with her. When my grandmother passed, she was in intensive care and passed away the day after Christmas. It's horrible to lose a loved one at any time, but to me, it always seems worse around the holiday season. I'm very sorry. Your brother sounds like he was a great guy.

Sorry to hear of your loss Friday, to have to take two blows so close is tough, but there does not have to be a third, try and be positive and with the love and help of family and friends you will pull through.

I've not been visiting as much as I used to and have missed out on a quite a bit, so didn't know about the Leukaemia either. Friday, I'm so sorry about that and your brother. I know how close I am to my sisters and can't imagine how you feel.

Praying for you - and keep those spirits high! Ally x
