Even when his hair was falling out and eventually turned bald, he would wear a wig in front of her. This went on for two years and eventually, he passed on. Dad, and his other siblings finally told grandma and I will never forget what happened after. You see, grandma was wheelchair bound already. I don’t know how she did it, but she managed to stand up and held on to my uncle’s casket. Since it was an open casket viewing, she was trying to hug and kiss him one last time. Everyone’s heart broke a second time, witnessing that. She passed on 4 years later.

I had an aunt. Well, I had many, but one was special. She was my mother's youngest sister, and was 25 years younger than her. When she was still a child, grandma had a stroke and was unable to care for her. So she moved in with us. We live in another state. My parents cared for her like their own child. I was firstborn, but she was my older sister. Dad got prostate cancer. The very slow kind. He lived 20 years, all good except for the final 3 months. During that time, my aunt got cancer as well. She said to not tell dad because he was sick. So we didn't. She died 2 months after him. There is a part 2. My dad had one mentally disabled sister. she was 3 years older than him, but very healthy in body. The last 2 decades of his life, my dad took care of her. They were nearly inseparable. When dad died, we decided not to tell her. But I think she knew. Because the final month, we had to put dad in hospice, and he basically just disappeared. She had a mild stroke a week after his funeral, and we put her in hospital. She seemed to have recovered nearly completely, when she suddenly died of aspirated pneumonia a week later.

[@danielch6662]

I had been in a similar situation. Call me evil and heartless, but when our family met to decide if we should tell the patient, everybody voted no. And our prime motivation was not the welfare of the patient !!! Yeah, we were nasty selfish people. Here's the background ... We were one of her closest remaining family, but we were not "close". We were close to the person who died, who was her primary carer. We in fact hardly ever met the patient, and didn't really know her. But the fact is, this happened shortly after Debbie Reynolds died, and nobody wanted to be the one to kill her by telling her. HTF was we going to explain it to the rest of the family who isn't here if we told her and she died? And who wants to be the one to do that anyway? However, we didn't have a simple solution like them. There's no way we could pass of _oh, he went overseas on an extended tour._ So we simply never told her. Whenever she asked, we changed the subject. Eventually, I think she suspected anyway. And she DID die shortly after. PS: I'm just explaining an alternate possible motivation over the two (a) they're angels for protecting her (b) they're so evil for not telling her and carrying on the charade for so long. So yeah, we chose secrecy, and didn't have a real plan to keep it secret. But our patient was also much closer and reliant on the person to died. Closer than a 77 year old mother and her (maybe) youngest 26 year old son? Yeah. Closer.

This is why firearms safety needs to be taught. If you’re handling a firearm you need to know the condition of that firearm arm. Even if the person who handed it to you showed it was clear you need to verify it with in your hands and eyes and everyone else down the line as well. You can break all the rules of firearm safety so long as you know there isn’t one in the chamber and you can avoid any accidents.

This is so sad. But surprisingly not uncommon. In my family, our grandma died at 99 yrs, and at the time, my grampa was 101. He was still healthy, even walking around his yard daily. His kids feared that the shock of losing grandma, after almost 80 years of marriage, would be too much. So they held the wake in a memorial chapel, not the house, and just told him that she was feeling poorly, so he couldn't sit with her. 2 months later, he weakened suddenly, took to bed. A few days into the 3rd month after my gran died, he very clearly said that she came to him, telling him she was waiting. He said next day that he'd always known grandma had passed, because he FELT her go. He died almost 3 months TO THE DAY of her passing. They're lying side by side now. ❤

What a senseless tragedy his death was 😢 as a mother that would kill me. I always say I do not know how mothers who lose children go on. And I witnessed my own mother go through it.

This is wrong on so many levels. No one person has the right to decide to keep such personal news from someone who has the right to know immediately, regardless.
