To: left that other site

I’m no prophet, but I was wondering if she would survive without any will to after the stroke, even if it wasn’t a very severe one, as first reported.

My aunt lost a daughter at 18 to cancer. TEN people in the country had that kind of cancer.

She was never the same. That was maybe 25 years ago. The father fared much better and I wonder why?

Does that make him cold or just different?

Everybody responds differently.

My brother lost his beloved daughter when she was 34 due to an asthma attack. In this day and age!

He and his wife adopted her two sons who are having some behavioral issues (who wouldn’t?), and life has not been the same since.

My sister-in-law is a whole different person after this tragedy.

My brother did the right thing by adopting his grandsons, but it has been very difficult for all concerned.

I almost wonder if the same thing would have happened if Debbie went first. I don’t know how Carrie could have coped.

Just different probably. I’ve seen couples go through the death of a child. Naturally, they’re all devastated, but you never know how they’re going to handle it long term.

My parents handled the death of a child, my sibling, better than my aunt and uncle did.

Each person grieves in their own way. I know after my daughter died, my husband played golf a few days later. I broke down completely. I called my long time dr and he prescribed some Valium. We never ever get completely over that. Jesus is the only answer. Then, right before he died of liver cancer, we were going to clean out her bedroom so we could make it more comfortable for him with his tv, surround sound, etc. He liked watching golf and listening to music. I broke down again. It just seemed unreal. He did not live long enough to enjoy it. We never, ever know what tomorrow brings. God bless.

People handle grief differently. Some people just don’t show their emotions.
