May 2009: my five-month-old puppy was run over by a truck and had to be put to sleep two days later
August 2009: my maternal grandfather died in his sleep (aged 89) - I had nursed him for more than six months prior to his death [he had been bedbound, incontinent and senile for years - nevertheless I couldn't agree with a friend of mine who said that my granddad's passing away was a relief and a liberation for himself and for everyone else who took care of him
autumn 2009: two of my friends were killed in a car accident
March 2011: my maternal grandmother died six days before her 86th birthday (she had fallen and broken her right hip and her wrist - my grandmom had to undergo surgery and spend almost two weeks in an intensive care unit; a few days after she had been released home from hospital she passed away)
