So.... In span of a year I've lost three family members ...
My Elder Brother aged 40 (Was hit by a train while walking drunk near train tracks. He died on May 21st, 2023 due to a Pulmonary embolism and had a cardiac arrest because the doctors failed to stabilize him).
♥
Then my maternal uncle (Who honestly didn't impact my life much, but I'm unfortunately close to my aunt who begrudgingly helps us financially (rarely), even though she's a pain in the ass. He died of Liver Cirrhosis on July 21st, 2023), and then;
My grandmother who was my rock, you know and her death hit me the hardest. She had a stroke on January 28th, 2024, and finally, after a long battle passed away on July 5th, 2024 (May Her Soul Rest in Peace) at the age of 93.
And about Nine Days ago my younger brother died at the age of 32 by trusting the wrong guy who left him for dead after dosing him with a high quantity of heroin and ran away without informing the cops, or his family members. My brother who was clean and on the mend and even got a job and a new bank account, died a lonely death all alone in a hotel room, while his so-called friend stole his wallet and phone. He was arrested and sentenced to involuntary manslaughter and negligence for ten years. He died 11th September 2024.
Before those harrowing dates, I was dealing with my brothers' addiction problems in 2019, and my writing and career took a hit.
So, it's been a long five years of mayhem and death, and that's why I have been MIA.
I'll try to be better from now on....
