Another sad day...

No matter how many times it happens you can never prepare yourself fully for it. It being death. My uncle Max died this morning. We knew it was coming and we even hoped for it to be over sooner as he suffered a great deal the past 2 months. This is my Dads' big brother, half brother really, they grew up together and my uncle took care of my Dad for a long time. He had developed cancer a couple years ago and recently it had spread to his bones and paralyzed him from the waist down. My Dad I'm sure is a mess, having watched my uncle rot away for the past 2 months. Nothing quick or peaceful, but instead a long drawn out and painful process. I feel numb, this is 4 of my relatives to pass away this year. Is this how it's going to be now? is everyone coming to that age? The Olsen side of the family isn't one for funerals really, but I'm assuming we will probably host a get together with the family at my house...which tends to involve drinking. I had a purpose to this post but it's lost now. I feel so sad for my dad and I don't know what I can do.
just a horrible day.
