so sorry for your loss.

but if i may ask, did your nephew have your correct email..??

or correct phone, or home address?

when was the email sent? i have had emails sent, but did not arrive with-in seconds of the sending time/date

the nephew may have had his hands full making the arrangements of the funeral home, and burial, that he had never had to do before, plus if it was his dad, he must have been a nervous wreck..

it could have also been your brothers wish to hold back any information to anyone, your nephew was "obeying"

just asking, there could be a valid reason for this late notice.

He told me that my brother wanted to keep his death private, whatever that meant. We stopped being close years ago but he was my brother and I loved him. Sorry to hear he passed and will be missed by me. All I have now is memories. I actually found out early this morning while on the internet checking something out. I then sent a text to my nephew to confirm and he finally got back to me with that private crap. I have no reason to ever see Massachusetts again.
 
To top it off the water heater that was put in on Friday had a massive gas leak! They came this afternoon to fix the leak on the heater side not connection side. I'm going to take Maggie for a walk and try to remember how my family was years ago before attitudes took over. When my parents started dying the vultures took over. Glad I was far away from all the fighting until I found out my brother was abusing my dad and I flew back and ended up abusing my brother if you get my drift. After that we were not close anymore. Guess he had a grudge against me.

yes, here i and the wife read the obituaries that many say, "funeral and burial arrangements were private by family request".

so even we cannot go to a friends funeral, since we had no idea they died

really not that uncommon

may times too, the funeral homes publishes the obits on thier website, that have more details, that frankly cost an "arm and a leg" , if published in the newspapers. here, a 2" long obit costs like $300, and then if a picture is included, that's an extra $100...yup.......really that expensive for a total of 3" worth of newspaper space.

again, sorry for your loss

Going to take a shower and maybe turn the game on and fall asleep. It's been a long day. Maggie has been great but she knows something is bothering me. If i'm lucky she will cuddle up with me. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow it will be a better day.

Coffee and a light breakfast. Everybody asleep. I like the early morning. Feel better today. I know it's part of life to lose family but it sure doesn't make it easier. Hoping a long walk this morning will clear out the rest of the grief, there is nothing I can do to change what has happened.
 
I turned the football game off early once it looked like a foregone conclusion. Too bad for the Vikings, they had a really good year. Last week's blowout gave a blueprint on how to beat them and it looked the the Rams followed it. We rooted for the Rams due to their lower record.
Not finished yet with the news and coffee this morning. I started doing our taxes yesterday and may do some more. I like to get it mostly done before the late statements finally come in.

yup, that shite has happened to me and the wife a time or 2 as well....nothing we could have done, not even blast out the family/families, for keeping it all "secret"...most likely, they were just following the last requests of the deceased.

things hurt, then we heal...either way, we all have to go on with OUR lives.

better to move on, with your regular daily routine(s), then to dwell on what was.
