An unexpected loss like this is very difficult...not that one is ever prepared, but I’m certain it has made things especially hard for all who loved her. I lost my Dad many, many years ago after he went in for a routine biopsy, which could be performed no other way (at that time) except surgery, because of the location. Totally unexpected, and unfortunately, a surgical error. Besides the grief, the physical strain of the unexpected loss is enormous...it took a long time to heal.....I send my prayers to the family for their peace and comfort.
I knew my Mama was headed for eternity for a year or two before she died. IOW, I was “expecting it”. That was still the worst phone call I have ever received. I’ve been asked when you “get over it”. The answer is “you don’t. you just get used to it”. That’s something the Trumps will learn ... and something that unites us all. Their money or my (at the time) lack thereof doesn’t change it. We all die, and we all deal with death of others.
My brother-in-law and my oldest sister were like my surrogate parents. She died of illness. While it was a terrible loss, we expected her passing. My darling BIL died unexpectedly of a heart attack a few years later. He was here...then he was not. Just like that. Five months ago, still trying to recover from the shock.
