A tale of two Uncles
How do you cope with the death of two blood relations within a short period?
I lost two uncles. The maternal one in his 60s, died Dec 2012. The paternal one, in his 80s, died last month. Were they too young or old to die? That’s not the issue. The suddenness of each death, the short time between them, and the resources it will take to bury and mourn them is a big bang in my home country Nigeria.
