In The Past Five Years, I’ve Lost Five Immediate Family

In the past five years, I’ve lost five immediate family members. The first was my sister in law from COPD after having post polio syndrome. Then I lost a man, I considered a son. He had lived with my family since he was fourteen. He and my son were best friends. He died of alcoholism. The third was my niece, who practically lived with us . She had a massive heart attack at only43. Then I lost my mom at 93. That was a blessing. The last was my husband of 54years. He died in my arms of pancreatic cancer,after only a two week diagnosis.
Now my blood pressure seems to be a bit high, but I don’t feel stressed most of the tim. What do I say to my dr. when he asked,” What seems to be the trouble?”
