My Mom died last year at age 74. she was never sick that I know of and I spoke with her that morning, that same afternoon my brother found her on the floor face down. She was DOA at the hospital.
Yesterday my cousin died at age 51 from brain cancer. The last time I saw him was at my Mom's funeral. We grew up together and even though we went our seperate ways in life we had a few good laughs and memories at my Mom's funeral. Now he is gone, it just seems that life is so unfair. We are here only a short while and then we are gone. What is this all about, I wonder. I will be going to his memorial service next week and will get to see my Aunt (his Mom) again and his siblings whom I havn't seen in a long time. I feel so sad losing him. He really had a sad life too. His wife left him after she found out he had brain cancer....so much for in sickness and in health. She said she couldn't deal with being with a dying man. It makes me wonder if my wife feels the same way with me having COPD. I'm just sad today. Eric .gif "Sad Boy")

first off I am so sorry for your losses. hon you have pretty good lung capacity from what I read. what was it? 84%? that ain't shabby hon. try not to think of this as your death sentence. my husband was dx'd in early 05 and he only had like 56% at that time. he is still doing pretty good even now. please take care of yourself.

I don't think my wife will walk out after 37 years but, it does make a person think. Actually if I go before her I have made provision for her to be well taken care of. I have good life insurance and a nice retirement package.

How hard to have or be reminded of such important losses on top of your own new health issue. I've been doing a lot of genealogy and studying the lives and health issues of my ancestors and getting death reports of my great grandparents and it has been a little stressful for me too, being of an age to be "next" to go. My older brother and high school friends' mates have developed serious health problems and that makes me look to my own health too.
