The way I see death in the family
I just received a phone call from my mother and Aunt #4 died this morning. Her health condition was critical and she did not resist.
I received the bad news quite well what puzzled my co-workers. I believe they expected me to receive the news in a more sadly way. This doesn’t mean I don’t care but she is an aunt I don’t see in many, many years, I was never closed to her, she’s my father’s aunt I mean not a direct aunt and she’s 90 something.
Do I mean she deserves to die? Of course not, but I’m glad it wasn’t someone younger.
My father has 4 brothers and sisters, my mother has 9 brothers and sisters, from all these aunts and uncles one is in danger right now. The one that died today is aunt of my father and his brothers and sisters, meaning it’s right that she goes first.
I have this point of view because 7 years ago someone I considered my younger sister died at the age of 18 and THAT…it’s not fair. So when someone old from the family dies I always have the thought that: I’m glad it’s an older member of the family and not a younger one.
Rest in Peace.











I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I do understand what you mean though, some losses are more difficult to deal with.
I’m so sorry too. I understand your feelings though. I have some family members that are older but are very close to me and some who I don’t even see either.
