What the hell happened/ what do I do?

Asked by awomanscorned (11261points) November 11th, 2010 from iPhone

This morning I got a call from my aunt. I could tell she was upset and wanted to talk to my mom. My mom was asleep so I asked what happened. She said our uncle who had alzheimers and his wife both died. That their son had called another relative last night and said, “my parents are dead. The funeral is tomorrow at 10:30.” then he hung up the phone with no further explanation. My uncles sisters are freaking out because he was their sick brother they were looking out for. No one knows the details and the funeral is in a few hours.

I’m guessing his wife died, and he, having alzheimers didn’t know what to do.

How does my family, on the other side of the country as the rest of family, react to this? We’re in shock.
