My Aunt is Dead - Why Does Everybody Keeps Dying

[RedLioness]

Ok so I am sitting here in front of the computer like I always do every day. And my dad comes home with some really bad news: My Aunt Shauna is dead.

Bobby (that's my dad) said it had something to do with drugs. So I asked my dad how come she didn't want any help. If she was like, having problems and all of that.

Is it just that she didn't want any help?

This is why I am so mad with being out of touch with relatives, because I wish I could have helped.

I just never thought she had any like, really life-threatening problems. She never told us anything.

It's just that, I have had instances where I faced death too - I just go to the hospital. Like that time I had breathing problems. And the brain problem.

And she was such a sweet kid growing up. All my memories have to do was how sweet she was, and you know, all of that.

And my Uncle Lang died a few years back.

I'm confused, grieving, and waiting for the autopsy.

RIP Shauna.

I understand how you are feeling. I had my dad die nine years ago and then gradually all his brothers and sisters died. Well, there is just one sister left. This year we have had five funerals in our family and the last one was when my cousin died of a brain tumour. She was only 53 and it was just suddenly discovered that she had a brain tumour and that it was terminal. It didn't take her long to die.

Also three of my sister's friends from school died in their fifties. Sometimes it seems like death is all around and it is scary.

I guess you just have to go through the grief process and it is real painful. Well it was and is for me. Sometimes you think you will never get out of it but you do in the end. I don't know how, but you do, Well, kind of. The pain never totally goes but it gets so it is not so raw and you can cope more with it. It made me ask loads of questions about God and loads of questions about life. It is real hard, but I do know God is there throughout it all. I don't knwo what to say to help other than that.

I pray you feel better soon. Hope you come back soon and tell us how you are doing.
