2020 Was Tough - Have You Lost Anyone This Year - PLUS Celebrity Deaths

[Helico-pterFunk]

Sheed I personally lost at least 2o. That shit is a mofo...

Condolences on the many losses, Uptown. May they rest in peace.

On August 21st I lost my neighbor that I called my brother because I've known him since I was a very little kid. That hurt because it was a month before his 45th birthday. I'm 43. We're not even old yo.

It fucks me up because I didn't stay in contact like I could have. Since he's been gone I've tried to look in on his wife. I took her a box of wine and offered to hang out with her on New Year's Eve, but she hung out with her sister instead.

He was her entire world. When we talk a few weeks ago she said exactly that. Everybody else goes back to their lives, but I'm missing someone that my world revolved around. Everyone else saw him sometimes, but I was the only one to see him every single day

He was a strong dude. I never would have thought...
****

I lost my first cousin in September from a fentanyl overdose. She was 4 months younger than me. She had struggled with drugs for a long time but we all thought that she was clean. That one didn't hit me as bad because of the drugs and she was one of those relatives that was always calling asking for money

Condolences on his passing, GOW. Shoutout to you on looking out for his wife considering how big a loss it will be for her long-term.

On a somewhat related note ... we got a nice box of hedgehog chocolates from an older couple that we'd met at a few recent years' Christmas parties. They were merely friends of friends - talked to them for a few minutes. Good people. Older woman & her husband (he's been battling Alzheimers in recent years). I asked my dad's gf if she had their contact info and I emailed her a thank you & checked in to see how they were doing. She thanked me and said they missed seeing us this year, and hoped to see us next year. You never know in this world ... life is so unpredictable. Thanked her and wished them all the best health-wise and look forward to a good conversation next December.

Sorry to hear about your cousin's passing. Fentanyl is a motherfucker. Big problems re: same overdoses here in B.C. - a few years back we had to get naloxone (Narcan) training at work. It really hit home for an oncall coworker. She's a recovering addict, and had lost a close friend of hers to a fentanyl overdose a few months prior.

My pops entered the crossroads back in July.

The last week of the year was tough. Holidays are cool when you got family around, but when they die, holidays aren't anything but a reminder of what you ain't got.

I stayed off of FB pretty much all December.

You talking to me bruh. My pops was my hero and best friend. Miss him much! And you speak of holidays, my mom died right before Thanksgiving a few years back. Shit was tough and I also abandoned Facebook for about two or three years now.
