last july 24, 2008, my grand father-in-law passed away and was interned last july 30, 2008 at palayan city, N.E.
he was 81 years of age, although my wife's family anticipated that, it was hard.. but what came next came harder to accept and bare...
last august 2, 2008, 1-2AM, right after "pa-siyam" ng lolo namin last august 1...
my 24-year-old brother-in-law suddenly passed away! he was interned last aug. 7, 2008... he is now 25-years old today.
left by my brother-in-law is his wife and his 2 year-old daughter.
we are all sadden by my brother-in-law's sudden demise. he was so active the day before he died. he shows no signs of illness from him, lives an active, healthy life style (than me). medical report says he had a severe cardiac arrest.
In the last 2 years, I've been to the wake of some really young people who died of heart related problems that have been left 'undetected' because they never bothered to see a doctor regularly. Some of them were fond of eating fastfood and partying till the wee hours in the morning on weekends and perhaps relied on the fact that they were still young.
I hope that with your sharing here with this tragedy won't be in vain. Let's hope that fellow tsikoteers will be better motivated to change their lifestyle, food intake/choices.
hey ay. sorry about your losses. these events make me really live and try my best to enjoy life with family, friends, and everything else since we never know when our time is up.
When sudden tragedy strikes, as it does every now and then, those of us left behind are often left to wonder why. While I would like to help ease the pain, I know of no words that will provide you and your family enough comfort. But I trust your faith in God will guide you through these times and that you will find solace in knowing that they have merely gone ahead with Him and that in the end, you will all be united.
May you find strength in your faith, faith in your wisdom, and wisdom in your hearts to see and be able to reach for the light beyond the sorrow.
sabi na din ng isa sa mga uncle in law ko--- parang tinawag na siya, kasi wala masisisi- no known illness siya, di naaksidente sa motor, or any act of man.
masakit man, lalo na sa side ng wife ko, kailanang tangapin talaga.
God may have a reason, baka iniwas lang pamilya ng wife ko(and/us) to a much worst scenario.....basta, wag lang ako gulatin dito, nagiisa pa naman ako dio sa haus ngayon...hehehe
thanks guys! sir architech, gusto ko umatend sa meets nyu, pero layo kasi sa lugar ko hehehe wa me serbis hehehe...
Kasi, parang ganyan din ang nangyari sa mga first cousins ko last Feb. 2007... Namatay sa bus (cardiac arrest) yung isa, nagkita kami nung panganay nila at binigyan ko pa nga ito ng pambili ng gamot sa puso dahil sa heart problem niya... (sa Olongapo ang lamay at libing).
The day (or night) after the interment, namatay din itong panganay na nabanggit ko! Iniuwi itong ikalawang namatay sa San Leonardo, N.E. yata (or was it San Jose City?).
A few days after nung ikalawang libing, iyung bunso nilang kapatid (na hindi nakarating sa lamay nung dalawang utol niya dahil naka-confine naman sa hospital dahil nahulog daw yata sa hammock), binawian na rin ng buhay. Sa Mariveles naman ito naninirahan.
Ang nanay nila, malakas pa. Can anyone imagine how their mother felt?
(sigh)...
Just sharing...
Now let us all pray for the eternal repose of the souls of your brother- and grandfather-in-law. May they rest in peace.
Just three years ago,my sister-in-law after taking a stress test from a known hospital in Q.C. and being declared on the way to recovery by the doctors suddenly died in the afternoon that same day! She left behind a 7 year old daughter.
