Usually around the holidays
All day yesterday I kept thinking if we can make it one more week without any tragedy, we can make it through this holiday. Last night my bro calls to say Aunt Carire passed at her kitchen table, she put her head down and without any prior heart trouble she succumbed to a massive heart attack. What a great way to go if one were to get to pick. She is my last Aunt, her husband which is Dad's brother was expected to go first since he is in the final stages of cancer, wasn't meant to be. He will probably follow shortly though. I feel so bad for Daddy.I've watched both my folks watch each of their sibling pass. I myself have never lost a sibling (to death) but I imagine it is excrutiating, at least it will be if I ever have to go through it. Selfishly I hope I'm the first to go.
/sigh - It's this life drama one cannot avoid but my family will all come together to plow through it. This is why I'm so happy I rarely have to deal with trivial drama caused by people with the inability to find inner peace and need chaos. Not for me.

Perhaps the stress of dealing with her husband's illness and eventual demise, was too much for her heart to handle.
Never wish a massive heart attack upon yourself, I believe it is a very painful way to go.
The only good thing about funerals, is that it often brings families together.
Capitalize on catching up with everyone and consoling those in need.
My condolences to the passing of your family member. I've had my fair share in life with loss of husband,son, siblings and parents. I now deal with the losses of altzheimer and Dementia patients. May peace be with you.
My Condolences to the berieved family
