Aortic dissection sounds terrifying. I hope he wasn't in too much pain.

Life just isn't fair. Seeing all the lovely people who brought us so much joy to have their lives cut short breaks my heart and makes me feel hopeless. I don't understand it. I hate it.

I'm still so sad about this. Depeche Mode is a part of the soundtrack of my life (I kinda grew up with the band, lol) and I hate that this happened; I only hope he passed peacefully.

fuck.

that's what my mom died of. from what they told us, it was pretty much instant, and she did not suffer. of all the ways to go, it's not a bad one, at least for the person going (speaking from experience, having lost my dad to a long illness). but for the people left behind? staggering.

the word "disorienting" strikes a chord. with a sudden passing of a loved one, you feel like you lose your place in the world. "disorienting" is such an apt way to describe that awful feeling.

It's truly scary how fast and aortic dissection or ruptured aortic aneurysm can take someone. I will never forget the person that was transported to my hospital for emergency surgery and was MOMENTS away from being taken to the OR when it blew and they passed away. At least their family was there and had those few moments before going back & the person didn't suffer, but it's so awful. No time to mentally & emotionally prepare.

i cannot imagine someone i love being here one moment and gone the next. like, i have had people in my life die, even horrifically young, but you knew it was coming. fuck
