RIP Ronnie

My uncle died on Tuesday. His body was found yesterday.
He, therefore, was lying dead for three days before he was found and processes could be put into place.

My nan is in shock. My mum and aunt are dealing with the emotional side but it results in my nan being his executor of will and therefore I foresee a potential of legal mess and jargon alongside the usual emoional upheaval a death causes.

I am trying not to be so blunt but it is hard when faced with another death in so short a time. Death. End of life.

I just feel sorry that he died alone, but we offered him respite, a connection often. He chose his solitute, not wanting to leave Steve's side [my aunt], her house and his, the last connection to her. Now he is gone and regardless of faith, he is now with her in some manner or other.

I, as always, will help as best I can, but I fear for the next fortnight - it will be a strain on all concerned. Let us hope that the peace he has found will be a comfort to all involved.

Rest in peace Ronnie and Steve, together now.

Ronald Leyman, died 25th March 2008.
