Sad days at Chez Psmith

It has been a very difficult few days here at Chez Psmith. Mr Psmith's brother G was unexpectedly taken to hospital on Monday morning; things went very bad very quickly, and he died Tuesday afternoon. We are all still a bit numb; it is hard to even know how to think about such a lightning bolt out of nowhere. G was only forty, and leaves my sister-in-law with three little children, our niece and two nephews. I don't know how one explains such things to a child who just wants their daddy to come home. My heart aches for them, and for all of us...

Oh, I'm so sorry, Delphi. What a terrible and heartbreaking shock. Forty is so damn young, and the suddenness of it can just knock the wind out of you. I grieve for the children and your sister-in-law, who must be beside themselves.

Take care of yourselves. I hope Mr Psmith is bearing up okay. *hugs*
