my cousin that was closest to me in age passed away suddenly of a stroke in early November, and two weeks later another died
Very similar to what my situation was. The Missouri cousin was very close to my age. My condolences to you and your family, and prayers for comfort.

I have a cousin that is like my brother.
He is a year younger than I am and we got into all sorts of trouble as youngsters.

I cannot imagine what you are dealing with.

But, I am very sorry for your (too) many losses.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Thanks to all who have offered support. As has been said, "getting old ain't for sissies" and one of the consequences is seeing so many of your relatives die.

Sorry to hear of your loss flashguy. I'm too at that age where a lot of good friends are passing. I couldn't agree more about getting older and the difficulties associated
