I just don't think I can deal with anymore. Too much death this year already.

We got word a few days ago that hubby's aunt has breast cancer. Well, upon further testing she has ovarian cancer as well. Things are not looking good for her as it seems to be in the advanced stages.

So, we were talking about how sad it was and what will happen to her two sisters that she is the sole caretaker for. One sister is wheelchair bound and the other one is disabled and uses braces. They all live together.

Anyway, the phone rings and we get word that the aunt in the wheelchair died. Not the one in the hospital with cancer, the one at home.

This happened a few hours ago. I guess she tried to get up and fell. Her sister couldn't help her so she called an ambulance. It was too late. They think she had a heart attack.

So, one sister is in the hospital and just learned the grim news of her cancer and the other sister is now dead.

We can't wrap our brain around this one.

Since January...

My mom died.

My favorite aunt died.

A week and a half later my cousin (that aunt's son) died.

Then my sister-in-law took her own life.

And now hubby's aunt, and soon to be another one.

It's just all so sad. It's way too much.
