charon 4,943 Posted March 15, 2018 End of Generation sad tho Willz. I'm tail end Charlie of 4 kids, zero grandchildren produced if patents had lived. Line dies with me, tho booze and cigs probably means 'dies with older sister'. As said in 'oldest folk you know' thread, mums sisters both almost at the ton, and for ubër prods, bred well. But shame the Family Name dies with me, but on the other hand, far too many people in the World. Very very glad I didn't have children. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really close, but sad news anyway as that's the end of that generation of the family. Amazing, Oldwillz and his sisters still kicking it large. So sorry for your loss YW - that 'last of the generation' gives ya a real extra belter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,977 Posted June 14, 2018 My uncle died Tuesday evening, in deep sedation which may have accelerated his demise. During his last days he could not even stand up, was becoming blind and spent time sleeping and moaning. He was unrecognizable. But when he was sedated, for a moment, before closing his eyes forever, he was relieved of the pain and his last look was the real look of my uncle during his normal life. For a moment he came back to be my uncle. I'll never forget that. He died after two hours. My mother has advanced Alzheimer's and did not even reckon. You see, even dementia has its positive aspects. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am now 56 and drunk, but under control. I never drive when ii'M DRUNK. I am always in total control of Bladan. Bladan is a Master of Science. No one is smarter than poor Bladan except Einstein.

Paul Bearer 6,109 Posted July 29, 2018 Not family, but a family friend. Got the news last night a neighbour has the big 'C'. She survived a breast cancer scare, but say it's now in her liver, kidneys and back. They've given her a month. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exu 250 Posted July 30, 2018 My mother in law has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer ( she’s 80 and has had a 20 a day habit for 65 years so she’s done OK) and has secondary brain cancer. She had a dose of radiotherapy on Friday as part of her palliative care plan. The medics aren’t being very forthcoming about the prognosis and I feel a bit awkward about asking. The situation is weird as nobody seems to know whether we are talking about weeks, months or even a couple of years. She is on a decent dose of steroids and her speech is very slurred. She is heavily fixating on trivia, especially her forthcoming birthday bash next weekend, and is bollocking all and sundry for basic day to day errors such as buying the wrong flavour jam. I don’t whether this is as a result of fear, a need to cling onto some semblance of normality or whether she is losing her marbles. The whole situation is stressful for everyone due to uncertainty, a lack of information and her general behaviour. This seems bad to say, but I hope this doesn’t go on for too long as it is driving everybody nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,067 Posted July 30, 2018 Gosh, it's a hard situation by the sounds of it. However, someone needs to know the prognosis so that plans can be made. If it's terminal as it seems to be, gotta know so you can get the help and assistance the family need. Somebody needs to be more insistent with the medics. Imo. Hope you and yours can get through this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
