My dear friend Joe died about 24 hours ago. Sudden massive heart attack followed by a delay in surgery due to overcrowded hospital because of freaking covidiots. He was a good man, an astronomer. Dedicated his life to teaching and helping others. Funniest guy I have ever known. Could make up songs on the spot like Wayne Brady. My heart aches tonight. If you haven’t done so lately, tell the people you love how you feel. Please. Call an old friend.

Saw an article that somewhere they have decided if you don't vax, you got the back of the hospital line. Make this universal.

Amen

These are the posts when I want to slap the shit out of every antivaxer. My condolences OP
doomsdayaddams
Thank you, and feel free to act on that.
sixtyfortysoo
Deepest condolences op. Take time to grieve. Remember the good times. Been through the process myself, look after yourself.
doomsdayaddams
Thank you. I’ve been down this road before, but it doesn’t get easier.

My Condolences. I'm a Joe and it is sad that there is one less Joe in the world.
doomsdayaddams
Damn right. Joes are good people.
GreatDaneGirl
They need to ask vaxed or unvaxed, vaxed get treated & unvaxed get to go home with their dewormer & prayers. Made your choice live with it.
doomsdayaddams
I’m okay with that.

It may feel like it hits to hard for any one human to handle. Remember that there is no one right way to handle grief.
doomsdayaddams
Thank you. I’m old enough that I’ve been here before (parents, other friends). I’ll be okay. It just deeply, deeply sucks.

Thank you for your kindness.

Fucking COVID scum ass fucks. I'd ban every fucking one of them from ALL medical care if I could. Hope they all rot.
doomsdayaddams
Amen.

Thank you so much. It’s been a rough couple of days.

I had to go to the ER last sunday night due to chest pain. All the heart attack symptoms. I had to wait half an hour in the lobby just to 1

actually finding the cause of the problem. All the DR. figured was it isn't heart related and the lungs look fine. 4/end
doomsdayaddams
That’s terrible.
andywei420
Dunno about you but i think an astronomer's life is more important than, say, at least 1000 covid/vaccine deniers
doomsdayaddams
I’m with you.
rubypilgrim
I think all lives are important, but if one is hostile to getting the vaccine and doesn't trust doctors and medical experts, then yeh. Stay-
rubypilgrim
home and take your ivermectin, don't clog up the hospitals.

My condolences…
doomsdayaddams
Thank you.
HijaDeMiMadre
I’m really sorry, hugs
doomsdayaddams
Thank you.
misteragi
Dude, I’m chronically ill, then add my 5th brain tumor. I’m terrified I’ll need the hospital! I’m so sorry about your friend. Awful. :-(
doomsdayaddams
I’m sorry. I hope you can get any treatment you need.
SentientDownvote
I lost a young friend to covid. It hurts and I can't get over it, but a little time has passed and it hurts a little less. I'm sorry
doomsdayaddams
It is so hard. Time does help, and eventually happy memories prevail. I’m sorry for your loss.
madeinqc
One of my friends explained grief like a ball in a box. The box has a button inside, which triggers pain. At the start, the ball is big 1/?
madeinqc
And always push the button. As time goes on, the ball becomes smaller and touches the pain button less and less. But there's days where 2/?
madeinqc
the ball is big again. I found this metaphor useful to explain to others my sensibility level on different days. Hope it can help you 3/?
madeinqc
communicate how you feel. I am sorry for your loss. I know how hard it can be to have someone leave too soon. ?
TheOneThatGotBanned
Sorry for you loss, talk about him to anyone that will listen, it helps.
doomsdayaddams
Thank you. He had a lot of friends, so we can all talk to one another.
parkydiver
doomsdayaddams
Thank you. This truly helps.
parkydiver
Wish I could give you a real one to help more
doomsdayaddams
Thank you. I’m tearing up a little over that.
parkydiver
Happy to send as many mental ones as needed!
doomsdayaddams
Oh, I love that one! Genuinely made me smile.
LeRubberChicken
We should let the covidiots die. They don't deserve to be near the hospital. Save it for people who deserve it.
doomsdayaddams
Amen

Condolences loosing a friend is grim. Keep the good times alive in memory. Spend time with and help their family if you can.
doomsdayaddams
Thank you so much!
toptrojanfan
His energy has been returned to the universe.
doomsdayaddams
He would like that. Thanks.
tendollarbanana
So sorry for your loss. My best advice is to tell stories about him to anyone who will listen.
GrumpyOldMillennial
That and strange two anti vaxxers in his honor. They made their choice, and it cost him his life.
doomsdayaddams
You know, I’m a pacifist who tries to live a good life, but this idea kind of appeals to me right now.
itsallaboutthecones
Absolutely, this! I tell about my father in law to anyone who will listen. It has definitely helped me over the past few years.
doomsdayaddams
Thank you. Also hearing other people’s stories.
micheaBandit
Good advice.
coolerguy
That… is the best advice i’ve ever heard! Lost my best friend in a car accident ten years ago, and it still hurts. Telling stories helps!
doomsdayaddams
Thanks. There are many to tell about this man.
alluro2
Deeply sorry for your loss...I would love to hear about some good memories with him.
OmNachoMama
We're willing to listen
standingalone
We are waiting for when you're ready to tell them.
phatputer
That sucks, mainly that thought something could have been done had the hospital system not been unnecessarily overloaded.
phatputer
My Mother has just gone through a cancer scare and had to have heart valve replaced, fortunately NZ currently managing the cases .. for now
phatputer
If she hadn't made it or been unable to get surgery due to Covidiots I am not sure how I would react when I met one in the wild.
doomsdayaddams
I’m so glad your mom got the care she needed. I might well spit on the next covidiot I see.
doomsdayaddams
It’s utterly infuriating. Thanks for your kind words, though.
DrCatLady
I know a doctor who’s dad was having a heart attack. Small hospital they went to couldn’t handle it and couldn’t find anyone to take him. 1/
DrCatLady
She packed him in the car and sped to another hospital. If you show up in the ER in medical distress they can’t turn you away. 2/
DrCatLady
Luckily that hospital did end up having the ability to do the surgery in a timely manner. 3/3
doomsdayaddams
Oh, thank goodness. That is so scary.
Zuegma197777
Damn Covidtards, My parents are 70yrs old with diabetes and high blood pressure that sky rocketed to 185.. They prefer ride it out at home>>
Zuegma197777
>>> than go to the hospital. Its frustrating n scary that my parents will need sumthin so simple n they cant get it at a hospital. >>>
Zuegma197777
>> sorry for your loss n help out the family best you can.
doomsdayaddams
I fully agree. I wish your parents good health and that the hospital situation gets back to normal soon.
