Bereavement
Related: About this forumMy uncle died this evening.
I don't know why I'm posting this except that he was a truly good man and the last of my grandmother's eight children. He lived a good and long life and I will miss him.

(13,766 posts)I don't know why I'm crying. I am usually very pragmatic about death. He called me LoLo.
