so very sorry to hear this jda, a huge shock but as you say not a lengthy slow decline. Thinking of you all.
My great aunt who lives in Australia died at the weekend, on Thursday she refused to eat or drink and medication she passed away peacefully on Sunday. Uncle said she was in pain and sedated and she knew she didnt want to suffer. Hard for those left but better than seeing someone in a lot of pain.

That's a shock, JDA.
There was a recent get together of ageing relatives to celebrate my uncle Phil's 80th. We were away so couldn't join them, so it was quite a shock to see the photographs as many of them are in serious decline since I last saw them. I suspect I will be going to a lot of funerals over the next 10 years.

Thanks all. Yes it was certainly a bit of a surprise, he'd been on pretty good form last time we saw him though that was 2 weeks ago (Thu was our regular visit but we missed last week). Everyone else seems a bit shocked and it's in the hands of the coroner, so hopefully that won't add too much complication.

I am sorry to hear that jda. Although it sounded like there was a clear decline in health, it hadnt seemed at that stage yet. I hope you and Mrs jda are OK.
Mrs Axe and I were discussing MiL at the weekend and her health decline. It all started when we were on holiday in 2010. We returned to find she had herself admitted to hospital and wouldnt leave. Each year she has got a little worse, but 14 years on and although pretty much bed bound now, seems strong as an Ox. There have been at least two occasions when we thought she didnt have long left, but despite ailing health has fought of covid and pneumonia
We went in on Saturday and she wasnt in great shape which was about the third visit in a row like that. Following day our son was with us to deliver a save the date card and she was in good form and looking forwrad to the big day hats still 13 months away. She did say she would need a new outfit as none of the clothes in her wardrobe are hers !

Condolences from me too jda although, as you say, it’s good to avoid a slow decline.
Condolences too gg.
As someone experiencing the slow decline of you MIL Baz that continues to sound very difficult.

Oh so sorry Jda, sounds all too sudden but at least he is at peace. I always felt dad went rather quickly as we were never told by the home of a decline or told to visit.
