Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) My sister died yeaterday, just a 51 y.o. on a job interview. My family is so broken, you always think you will have time to come to peace with one another. My mother died in April, my step-father in Jan. My pots is starting to storm. I just had oxygen delivered yeaterday to sleep with so I think I will sleep. Sadly my sisters family didn't even include me in her obituarycolor]. Alchoholism and anger its sad.d yesterday that my sister died. Just collapsed and dies!!!!!!!!!!![/ Edited December 9, 2005 by Miriam Poorman-Knox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briarrose Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I am so sorry for your sudden unexpected shock. It's even worse that they didn't include you in the Obituary, very rude and thoughtless. Too much loss in a short period of time. My thoughts and prayers are with youSteph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 The bizarre thingis that I am not supposed to know or have info......but I got a few calls saying there ws no ins. and her husband found a mound of bills she hadn't paid. So thery couldn't afford the funeral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I would have been the one in the past to step up. Not this time. They need to deal with this reality.Sadly her hate lives on with her children. Not her husband, who I can't get through to. Later I will give my condolences to him. Thanks Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMouse Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Miriam, that's so sad If I remember correctly, Ernie's brother died that suddenly too a year or two ago? so I think she surely can understand what you're going through. Life is so fragile--you just never know when it's your time.I hope that you can find some peace in all the chaos. I'll be thinking my best thoughts for you.

Ernie Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hi Nina,Your right. My brother died last year. Thanks for remembering.We (my extended family) are all concerned about it because of the loss per se but also because he had POTS and NCS. It's hard to deal with all the issues.

Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Aslightly amusing piece I received three calls this morning for my husband. We lived and he practiced where I grew up and my sisters family lives. They called thinking I was dead, and wanted to pass on their condolonces too Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine their surpprise????????????? It was nice to catch up. But so incredibly sad,my niece wrote the obit, my brother in law had no knowledge.
