Sad Spoiler Alert
POSTED in: Ramblings

My Mom told me the saddest thing yesterday. I wish she hadn´t. I cannot get those kind of things out of my head for weeks because I feel so very sorry for the affected. Anyway. You should not read this if you are like me.

Are you sure? If yes click on more.

My Mom works for a church. The church has a nursery school, and a caretaker is looking after that nursery school. My Mom is being severly mobbed by the priest and the nun. That´s not the important part you can forget that again. The caretaker of the nursery school was always really nice to my Mom. Bringing her vegetables and talking to her.

That caretaker also used to drink heavily. He never married, was alone his whole life, and how did he deal with it? With alcohol. On christmas day he got himself drunk early, and then slept through the holidays.

A view weeks ago he was brought to the ICU. His liver failing, and his whole body severly affected by his alcoholism. I told my Mom every day to go and visit him. She went to visit yesterday. He was so happy to see her. A view hours later he died.

Isn´t that the nightmare of every human being? Of being alone, and then dying alone in a hospital bed without family or anything? I think that´s the saddest thing ever.

I hope that wasn´t too sad for here. But that was really the only thing that went through my head all day.

    i am so sorry, it is sad to die alone, but even when there are lots of people around us we feel alone, we don’t even realize how alone we can feel, then you hear something like this and realize your not actually alone and shouldn’t take all those who love you for granted, right? It is a sad story but one that can teach us all a lesson in life and hopefully make us better people, thanks for sharing Connie.
