What made you sad today?

[Morrigu]

Very sad Stui

We can never know for sure what is for want of a better term lurking within - aneurysms are particularly problematic as they don't always show symptoms until it is too late and once they rupture well......

I hope the family get the support they need and as token as it sounds at least they have each other to love and hug.

a close friend was found by his wife locked in the toilet in his factory yesterday, fire brigade had to open the door, he had suffered a brain aneurysm, they operated and found another, afterwards he knew his name, but the next three days are crucial. He�s 58.

Edit just got a text from his wife, doctors are happy it went well, still in intensive care for a few days. Touch wood, and say a prayer to whatever fairy you like.

Edit mon! He�s saying a few words, and definitely knows who he and his family are. Thank the lord.

Gosh. It�s been a while. Well he recovered, he�s working a bit, don�t know for how long. Unbelievably Hes back drinking and smoking. Stupid.


I lost another brother in law this afternoon, if you saw the news he was the motorcyclist that collided with the truck near Geelong. Just can�t even process right now. In 5 weeks it�s a year since we lost hubby�s brother. Now his sisters husband. At least we got to say goodbye to Ian, just feel so ... lost?

Don�t sweat the small stuff guys, life really is too short, cheers

RIP Pete xxx

Condolences to your family TP xxxx

[Mugwump]

Yes, very sorry to hear it TP. Sudden death in good health is the worst.

I'm very sorry to hear the news, TP. Take care.

[ronrat]

Sorry to hear that Jo. Keep your chin up.

Thanks guys, appreciated.

Your right Mugwump, I just feel so ... I can�t even work it out. We all had dinner last week, I hugged him and kissed him goodbye, I did t know it was the last time.

He spent Sunday with his car club, and yesterday riding his beloved bike with his brother, at least he wasn�t alone, though I feel for his brother. He loved that bike, god you say to people, �at least he died doing something he loved�. God that feels ugh right now. Although it�s probably true. Early 50�s. Sucks. His son just got engaged, and his daughter graduated uni last week. My kids are shattered, the youngest is very close to her cousin. His wife .... sorry, I just can�t deal yet.

Cheers, thanks again. Xx jo

So sorry to hear of your loss! We have to try and find good things everyday and enjoy them! look after each other!

[Mugwump]

There is no real comfort in death so very early, but if you are prepared to search for any, he was fifty, so he knew what life meant, he�d watched his children at least grow into men and women, and he is now spared the long years of painful decrepitude that await most of us. It�s not enough, but he at least had time to express a life. I stood yesterday among the white stones of Flanders, commemorating Australian boys, hundreds and hundreds of them, 18, 19, 22, 20, 24 etc, who never got the chance to fall in love, to have a profession, to turn their knowledge into experience. There is nothing to be thankful for in death at any age of health, but 50 is at least a life. Sorry if that�s presumptuous, I certainly don�t want to tell you how you should feel, but we have to hold threads of consolation at times like this.

[think positive]

Not at all I totally get that. I did think the same. I�ve been to The funeral of three youngsters who never got to live a life, and Pete was living his dream, I�m truly thankful for that and that he didn�t suffer. Cheers xxx
