    So, yer mam dies in her early 40's, when you are 16.  2 years later, yer dad dies, still in his 40's, albeit 49.  This leaves you, as an 18 year old only boy, 3 elder sisters (21, 24 & 27), and the baby of the bunch, little sis who is still only 9 at this stage.
    I guess what happens next is you start to wonder... will I manage to live a bit longer than my parents?... who will be the first sibling to cop it... and when!
    Those thoughts have never left me.  4 of us have since lived longer than our parents, thankfully.  Baby sis has now lived longer than mum, and is closing in on the age dad was, so all good there, I guess.
    I have to admit, on the day I equalled Dad's age, I was a little bit emotional, if truth be told.  Relief?  Guilt?  No idea, but it was a weird feeling!
    But the one thing I have literally been dreading since being left an "orphan"... over 39 years ago now... is the first of us siblings going. 
    ...It happened last night! 

    The sister up from me (so the third eldest) lasted until she was 60.... and two months.  I guess we shouldn't moan, given the family history, but I can't describe the gut-wrenching feeling, now the first one of us has gone!  This is the day I have been dreading for over 39 bloody years!
    Depressed?  No.  Not in the true sense.
    Anxious?  You bet!
    Stress?  Not yet, but I'm sure that will come, as we try and help our 24 year old nephew (Sis's only child) through the next few days, weeks, and maybe even years.  Lot's to do.  Lot's to sort out.  Him and us.  There's no-one else to do it!
    The first of my siblings gone... out of the blue... no warning!  Suddenly, I no longer feel immortal!
    Eldest sis (67 next month) is feeling guilty, not being the first to go!
    Baby sis is distraught, and now has to face her first close-relative mourning since becoming a 9 year old orphan!
    Being old fashioned, I feel the need to take the lead.  To be practical.  The only boy, and all that!  Time to become a man!  Time to take charge, I guess, and stay strong for my remaining 3 sisters, and my nephew... but I can't help but feel vulnerable this morning, if truth be told.
    Thankfully, I have the strongest, most wonderful wife tight by my side, so all is not lost!
    I'm sure I'm not the first to lose a sibling, of course, but right now, feeling the way I do, a feeling I've never experienced before, is daunting to say the least.
    It feels different to losing a parent.  It feels different to losing a granddaughter at 1 hour old.  Maybe not worse.  Maybe not easier.  But closer, I guess.  More frightening.  Too close for comfort!
    Not looking for sympathy.  Just an ear.  Just a shoulder to lean on.  I may be back, I may not.  Having not been through this particular emotion, I really don't know what happens next!
     
    PS:
    Yes... yesterday's game really was poo, wasn't it!

    I don't think this is out of place here...
    all Third Round fixtures will be delayed by one minute to encourage fans to ‘Take A Minute’ to think about looking after their mental health, as part of the Heads Up campaign.
    The move will see all 32 ties, excluding replays, kick-off one minute later than their traditionally scheduled broadcast and non-broadcast timeslots, for example 3:01pm, 12:16pm and 7:46pm.
    It is hoped that the initiative will raise awareness of the importance of looking after our mental health, with 60 seconds representing just the first step in the journey to improved wellbeing. During the minute delay, fans will be encouraged to consider the positive impact 60 seconds can have on their own wellbeing or in supporting a friend or family member.

    I've had some issues and posted a little about my late wife's cancer, ultimately being bereaved, the struggles I had to cope as a single dad of bereaved children and how it nearly finally broke me and how hard it hit me when my dog got sick this summer. 
    I thought I'd just share that I met a lovely widowed lady my age a couple of months ago, and she makes me happy. I make her happy. We're a couple now. Things can and do get better, no matter what life throws at you, you can smile again. Hang in there people.

    Thanks @Anag Ram.  Appreciate that.
    Looks like he is going to go for this, when he returns to Cornwall.  They have a charity branch of the NHS down there, which specifically deals with ex service personnel/war veterans, and we're hearing positive things.  (It's just bog standard NHS up here in Derby, with no specific expertise in combat-related PTSD, apparently?).
    Other stuff to sort first though... not least getting him through this coming weekend of course, which is never an easy time for these guys and gals, who lost a mate or several in battle... of any generation, of course!  
    Thanks again for your positive feedback.  Good to hear.   ?

    LEST WE FORGET.
    May the fallen rest in peace.
    May those that return, have the fortune to live in peace.

    So sorry to hear this bud,
    I'm terrible with stuff like this but I'm sure everyone on the forum will agree with me when I say that you're not alone in this.
    Treasure your time with your Grandma, be there for her as much as you possibly can.
    I lost my Grandad 5 years ago to cancer and my biggest regret is not spending as much time as I possibly could with him.
     
    I seriously hope you and your family are okay, and I hope that your Grandma can beat it.

    I can’t believe there are people on here saying good riddance to a man who has put his body on the line again and again for Derby County.
    Sure he made a mistake but let’s not forget what went before.
    Thanks Richard and good luck.
