Our family has recently suffered a very tragic loss(es). My aunt's parents both passed away together 2 days ago. Everyone knows how this tragedy happened but the way they passed is what is causing the family turmoil. I can't really talk about it on FB too much as my cousin is very active on it and even though it is public knowledge, for the moment, we are trying very hard to shield her and her mom from alot of the "negative" comments. I have a large family, lots of cousins, aunts and uncles. We all grew up together and are very close. We still have lots of family functions and the 2 people involved were a part of the family for over 35 years even though they weren't "blood" relatives.
We now have the funeral plans firmed up BUT we are trying to "tactfully" figure out how to keep the talk of how they passed and the "negative" opinions out of earshot from my aunt and cousin. All of us are prepared for it but it's sad that there have already been some media attention and debate as to why they are being memorialized as if they just passed together from natural causes. They were an elderly couple and loved each other so much that they couldn't bear to leave this earth without each other. It's been a tough few days.
