My great Aunt passed away this morning; she was 99!
Growing up in the 70's, Sunday dinners were frequently at her house. Dinner, and then Walt Disney, every Sunday!
She also worked at a magazine distributor, and we got tons of free (old) magazines and comic books.

My condolences brother.
Condolences Super. I imagine she could tell some stories and probably did.
My condolences, Super. 99 years is one hell of a run. She had no doubt seen and experienced things that much of the later generations never will even come close to experiencing.
From my time spent in Complex Care facilities, I can assure you that most of the elderly, oddly enough, do not fear death. They do not fear it at all. They know when their time is coming, and generally embrace that fact with much dignity and grace.

The elderly are used to the idea that might not wake up the next day.
Many of them are wishing for death.. They have been old and weak for years..

It's always hard to say goodbye. She obviously lived a long and fruitful life. My condolences.
Try to take it easy Super, I understand it's hard when it comes to losing a family member, but your great aunt in heaven would be sad too to see you if you're always in a state of depression b/c of her.

It's just a tad overwhelming to lose so many family members and friends over the past 2 years; I guess the fact that i'm turning 50 means that those who I care about are reaching the end of their time here.
Father n law passed in 2016; as well as my brother's wife's stepdad...
In 2017: My mom; a dear coworker of my wife; my buddies mom; a friends father n law, and step father n law; my brother's wife's grandfather; and then a coworker of mine who I knew in high school!

I know what you mean. I'll be sixty this year. I can't count the number of funerals I've attended in the last ten years.

Two years ago, both my Mother and Step-Father passed away less than three months apart from each other.
I'm not even 40 yet. I can assure you these are not easy things to handle, as I nearly had a mental fucking breakdown not only dealing with their deaths, but also as the sole executor handling the Will and the Estate, which isn't a 'fun' job either.
But yes... as I age, I see more and more people go. Most of them don't mean that much to me though, like co-workers and such.

I figured you were already in your 40s lol.
All the main deaths have passed for me, if I lose my Great aunt, she may be the last I will cry for. Hate to hear of your loss Super.
(((hugs)))
