Once again, we are in a death cycle in our little town....

Superstitious lot that us country folk are, we have had two deaths already this past week and await the third!

Due to the small town we are and we all knowing each other, the local Spar will take a platter around to the family of the deceased. If it's people we don't know personally, we will send the driver with the platter and a card.

However in today's case, The English HO and I will be going in person.

The lady that passed on was only 36/37 years old, and it was quick, in a mere 6 months a tumor took her young life, there was nothing anyone could do..... Her mother is a good friend of our's that we have done business with for the last 17 years.

It is always tough when you outlive your children, life not fair and you start to question your existence , your purpose.....

In time's like this, you on the outside can only offer support, for you too , do not have the answers, having gone through the cycle of death with a number of people around me , including my brother in law, I feel that the only support I can give, is a strong belief in the fact that time heals....

It also reminds me, that no matter how crap a day you may be having, somebody out there is grieving, perhaps they do not have the belief in life after death , believing the finality of it all....... but you should remember, make the most of your day! grab her by the balls and take every minute that it has to offer...

The other death that happened in the week is starting to rear some ugly stories, ...... somebody is going to be held responsible, I will wait for the papers to pick up on the tale, before commenting....

/Moose pauses, takes a deep breath, and heads out the door, wishing you all a fruitful day!
 
Reports doing the rounds locally and on social media that the other lady that died,had been smacked around by an abusive person and died a few days later....

This is big in our small town, noticed that folk on FB who knew her are posting about an abusive person taking her life....
 
Facebook does prove handy sometimes when suspicious deaths happen.
 
In less than 7 days 3 people I've known have passed away, and then there's another two in ICU. Been a schitty start to the year...
 
Lost my mother in law to cancer 2 weeks ago.... not a good year so far
 
People need to be smoking more weed! All this disease out there! :(
 
Gee! Don't be friends with me.....Coz I might be mates with the Grim Reaper!

Just heard that another friend of mine who lives here, but does contract work up in the Transvaal just passed away this morning....

What the Feck is going on?

:(

One in icu passed away this week. The other one looks he's gonna be ok but a long road to full recovery (if possible) lies ahead.

Dunno but it's hectic. I think it's best that we don't meet when you come to dirtbin, the deaths will be squared.

Sounds like the second half of my 2016. 9 funerals, 3 close family and 4 friends/children of friends, 2 acquaintances.

And condolences :(
 
We recently bought a beach house in Sutherland. Last week we had a shark attack about 300km from us and the dude died.
Nobody has left their homes for 4 days now. Hopefully the fears will subside this coming week.

We had another funeral/wake today just to hear more bad news about a guy attending getting another horrible incurable disease.
 
Just heard the news that an old gal I knew past away in Wales last night, she lived in this here remote mining town of ours and I had phoned her son a few months back to chat about the old days when we were youngsters....
