This week I've been really thinking about the heart. My Uncle had a heart attack and stroke. It's scary because my Mom had heart issues and so did my other Uncle and Grandpa.
Frankly, my Uncle's condition is sad for more than one reason. You see, my Mom and her brothers don't get along. They never were close but some things happened that caused them to be even further apart.
Now, he is in the hospital. When she was in the hospital, they didn't visit her. I don't know if she will see him and I won't ask. She cares but doesn't feel she will be well received.
It's 'heart breaking' to see this. I don't have answers.
I know I've developed 'heart' issues of the emotional kind. I work on that daily.
I also know I may have heart health issues that I've been avoiding looking into.
I ALSO know that one heart condition can directly impact the other.
I'm getting the conditions of my heart checked. Sometimes we may not like what we find but we can't hide from it.

Hi Parsley
I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle and I hope that he gets better.
I'm sorry too to hear that your Mum and her brother's don't get on. We have a similar situation ( not with DH and I) in our family and it's so sad.
I hope this situation resolves itself.
Best wishes
Best wishes and prayers for your uncle and other 'heart' conditions.
I have recently found out that I will not need a procedure done just yet. Good news!!
If you have heart issues you NEED to go get it checked out girl....what are you waiting for?
;^)
I'm sorry to hear about your uncle.
My family's the same way; so many arguments that have forced people further and further apart!
I hope your uncle will be OK, and that your own issues aren't anything serious!
A very good idea to have your heart checked out with your family history. Always best to be preventative. Good luck with the check up.
Life is so very short. I hope that your family can forgive and move forward. Prayers for that.
Me too, Parsley. My mom passed away because of heart attack. I always worried it could happen to me one day. So I will have my medical checkup every two years. But the doctor suggested to get check every year. I'm so sorry to hear about you uncle and I hope that he will be okay. {{{Hugs}}}
So sorry. These situations are not easy.
We don't always recognize the other condition of the heart you are talking about. May God make us tender to these things, so that we can deal with them. Thanks for posting this.
Sorry to hear about your uncle... I hope your family will be able to let the past go and move on. We have the same type of problems with some of my extended family. It's so hard on everyone, and even if your not directly involved you're still impacted by it. Hugs to you :)
sorry to hear that. this is very common in families.
Oh, Parsley, I am sorry your uncle is having heart issues. Encourage your Mother to go, it will make her feel better in the long run.
Yes, DO have your heart checked. I did after walking around for 10 yrs. having my Dr. pat my hand & saying 'women your age don't have to worry Mrs. Ford'. I always retorted with 'but my dad dropped dead at 60.' She dismissed this. I nearly died from her neglect & 2 other Drs. as well. I have serious heart issues that are controlled constantly. Best of luck, hope you are ok.
Have a wonderful day, my friend
Hugs,

I think she needs to go no matter what she thinks will happen. After he is gone, she may really have regrets. At least if she goes, she will know she tried. And if she is rebuffed, she will at least not have any guilt. Go to the doctor!
Hugs...
Praying for your uncle, and for you.
I think that is good you are realizing you might have some physical and emotional heart and health issues to examine and deal with and get help with Parsley. I know our heart, no matter if we are referring to the actual organ or the condition of our mind and soul are so intricately connected that we need to make sure both are in the best condition the can be. I do hope your mom and her siblings can sort of work things out, it is a shame because after parents pass, siblings can often help each other with grief, etc.
betty
So sorry to hear about your uncle. Best wishes to you and your family. Hopefully they'll be able to patch things up.
Hugs,
Veronica.
Did you already have your heart checked out? I know I need to do the same, but you said you were getting it checked. I hope it checks out perfectly fine!!!
Im sorry about your uncle though. I understand the visiting issues. Michael's father did not get to say goodbye to Michael when he died, because he chose to take a shower instead. Touchy issue there, even their pastor was like what the heck? but what is done is done.
My sister and two brothers don't speak It is very sad. I just pray because we never know when we will be laid up and need our phamily support. Bitter feelings don't solve a thing but there is nothing we can do when our relatives don't mix well. They have to fight their own battles and we have to trust the ord and pray.
I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle and I hope that he is well on the way to getting better now.
Family squabbles are heart-breaking and all too common. You can pick your friends but not your family... but still - why can't folks get along (especially the ones that don't see each other often?)
