I have a well-developed coping mechanism, built over years and years of Bad Things happening without ever really stopping for a deep breath.

Numb.  And when I say to myself “I’m going ignore how bad this is,” - I actually manage it.  The downside is I’m pretty flat, emotionally.

When I can catch my breath, I can only hope I’ll be able to shed some tears.  Because, damnation - we are still losing people to heart attacks like we did in the seventies, best shots possible.  Carrie Fisher was only one of them.  We lost Robert Palmer at 54.

I lost both uncles and my grandfather on Mom’s side at 59, same cause.  (Mom lived as long as she did, methinks due to vigilance which I have acquired.  She was essentially 90.)

Get your CPR card.  Start noticing where the AED machines are in public places.  It works - but only if you act.

This year.  Honestly, I can’t believe it’s only been one.  It feels like it’s been this awful for years and years.
