Today I found out my Uncle has died.

Back story

2 weeks ago my Cousin and his 2 out of 3 kids caught Covid-19. Then it was passed onto the Grandparents (my Aunt and Uncle). They are in their early 70's. My Uncle didn't recover and his breathing was non existent. He was took to the local hospital where he was in the covid ward. He was sent home why I do not know as he is very vulnerable. He has asthma, cancer and has a defibrillator in his chest to restart his heart I think it's kinda like a pace maker. He went back in the hospital after less than 8 hours home. He was being moved to HDU High Dependancy Unit to control his breathing, to get oxygen levels up and to monitor him. He died 4 hours ago

My Uncle is my Dad's older Brother. They had a falling out 3 years ago. My Dad refused to let my Aunt and Uncle or Cousin come to my Mum's funeral in July. We lost Mum in July this year and my Aunt and Uncle had to watch the funeral online. We paid for this service. Anyways.... my Sister came to tell us and my Dad and I were having our dinner. Dad was still eating when my Sister told is. He is so f'ing rude. I'm boiling with rage. So inconsiderate he forgets They are still OUR family even if he can't be bothered with them.

So now I'm grieving not just my Mum but my Uncle too.

Life f'ing sucks right now!!!
