Having just lost a brother in law to illness my heart goes out to you for your more personal loss. 
 

YNWA.

Has everyone seen Remmie’s Collection for Ukraine thread?

It’s been pinned at the top of the page. I don’t know if others are the same but my brain doesn’t always register pinned threads that don’t move.

 

Donation on its way x

That's a good point actually, I often ignore the sticky threads out of habit and combined with there being another Ukraine thread it's easy to dismiss. Not sure what to do about it though. 

 

Anyway, thank you all for your kind words.

Sorry to hear this,I've been there myself and it's absolutely heartbreaking. My sincere condolences to you all.

[Remmie]

It's kind of mad all the ailments he was struggling with at the end: left sided disability from a stroke, dementia, acute kidney failure, frailty and muscle wastage from being bed bound for a year, infections in his chest, bladder and colon and finally aspiration pneumonia. In his last few days we listened to some Beatles, Brian Eno and Elvis Costello and the Adam Buxton podcast. It's fair to say he has much better taste than me. 

 

In the rougher times in the past week he was struggling with his breathing with all the fluid on his lungs so I was terrified he would suffocate or be struggling to the point of death but he actually went very slowly and gently with increasingly longer breaks between breaths so I was glad I was with him both for him and for me. 

 

Our family don't half like having all our catastrophes at once. 

 

I appreciate all your words of condolences and realise this is quite an indulgent continuation of the thread considering most of you keep your family emergencies to yourselves. It's been nice to talk about it.

Don't be silly Rem. Everyone is here for you, talk away.

Absolutely this.

I wish I was already a member when I lost my Dad 10 years ago.

Love a bit of Eno. Burning Airlines is a tune.

Thinking of you and your family, mate. I loved that video of your dad answering TLW questions.

On the day of the invasion my dad went to hospital and quickly became very ill. We were told he may only have a few hours left. The tough fucker stubbornly held on, but today he passed away in my arms. It's been an awful week. 

 

He was very touched by this amazing collection as was I and I'll never forget it. Thank you for bringing him that joy. 

So sorry to hear that, Zeb. Sending love to you and your family.

[Juniper]

Terrible news mate. Thoughts are with you.

[DalyanPete]

Best wishes fella. Can't ask for anymore than holding him at the end.

Did the same with my Mum and it was a beautiful but sad moment.

[Carradona]

Sorry for your loss, Zeb.

Gutting news, Zeb. Sincere condolences mate.
