We've had another tragic loss in my family. My youngest sister's husband had a massive heart attack They got him to the hospital fairly quickly and sister was able to take her son to the hospital with her. But my BIL didn't make it. He was only 57.
The daughter was still at college. Another sister was able to drive down and bring her home. All three of them are just devastated.
I still don't know whether to be sad or angry. He knew he had heart problems but didn't want to take the medicine. It worked miracles for me. Oh well, they don't need to hear that. All I can do is be as supportive as I can.

I'm sure that helped contribute to her stroke, which led to a second stroke and the pneumonia that killed her a month later. I think 'sad and angry' is a very valid reaction to that situation. But yeah, best to just be supportive.
