Funeral.

This month has been so crappy so far. Other than my mom & sister not being home for 3 weeks because of a funeral, I also have to go to a funeral myself. I didnt know my uncle died of cancer until last night. I’ve been juggling the 2 jobs I have that nobody has even bothered to tell me. He was diagnosed of cancer a few months ago and I didnt think he would die. I had an aunt who had breast cancer and she survived. Unfortunately, he didnt. I thought he would survive just like her unfortunately he didnt. Now I had to skip one of my jobs today and tomorrow to attend the funeral. It’s funny how life takes a turn like that. My mom had to leave the country for a family funeral and little did I know, I would be going to one a few weeks later. I havent been to a funeral in so long. I remember when I was still in highschool where I would constantly attend a funeral every year. It was like a yearly routine. Then it stopped for a few weeks and now I’m back to the funeral home again. He was only around 40 years old. That’s pretty young…

    I have an aunt who had cancer, too. She passed away last month. And she was only 38 years old. It was pretty sad because she was leading such a happy life. She got married just about 3 years ago, and left behind a 2-year-old son.

    I’m so sorry to hear about your Uncle, Vanessa. :( It sucks when a family member dies, even if you may not be close to them. There’s a profound sense of loss, and an overwhelming sadness that just surrounds you. I’m praying for his soul, and for you and your family, too. God be with you!

    I’m very sorry to hear about your uncle. My condolences. Cancer is a terrible thing and I’ve lost several family members to it. Stay strong and I hope you feel better.

    I’m sorry about your uncle. I can’t really
    tell what you’re feeling about the whole
    funeral thing but I do hope that you’ll
    feel better if you’re feeling crappy.

    Im sorry about your uncle. A lot of people have been getting sick lately. And I know a couple with cancer too. I know how it feels to suddenly lose someone. I have already felt that back when I was 15 years old, but even upto now. I can still feel the pain. Condolences.

    Wow that is really young. I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. It’s always difficult when you lose family. My neighbor was just diagnosed with bone cancer, which came as a shock to us all. They caught it early, so we’re hoping that she pulls through.
