This has to go down as one of the most emotional times of my life, the passing of my brother law whilst his wife (my sister) was still in hospital, trying hard to pick up the pieces and stay strong for her and yet keep a straight head and keep listening to my Heart, in doing so I have alienated some of her “friends”, they do not know us as a family, we are basically strong as long as we have someone within the family to turn to, we know death very well within the Hannan clan and we deal with it, but there are those in the clan that have trouble dealing it, in those times we sometimes may come across as being hard to some, but none of us are really, we cannot let family down nor let someone dwell on something they know will come to us all in time, we give them grieving time based upon their own experiences of some loved one passing, in this case to many of this part of the clan have passed, my mother and father, elder brother, all blood uncles and aunts on my mother side and most on my fathers side all in our life time plus all loved and adored pets, we certainly do know about passing, and yes it is emotional, but we need to be understanding but also strong.
