New phase of bereavement

Less than one minute read time.

Recently I discovered that a work associate of my late husband, Simon, took an advantage of the condition of Simon's brain tumour and made a nice profit out of it. I suspected something like this was happenning at the time, but as Simon's brain tumour was in his left temporal lobe where communication and memory was controlled, Simon could not remember the details of the business agreement (crucial part being just verbal according to the other party) I could not prove my suspicion.

Now that the same guy tried the same tricks on other people (with no brain tumour) 2 years later and got away with it, it all became obvious that he cheated Simon. Vast majority of our colleagues/friends were absolutely brilliant to us during Simon's fight again brain tumour, but a few made a meal out of it.

I have entered into a new phase of bereavement - anger. I will make sure these people (one highstreet bank as well) will be brought to justice eventually.

Thank you for reading.

    This behaviour is just abhorrent to people like us who live by rules of basic human decency and respect to others. Sadly there is no doubt that some psychopathic personalities are very successful in the business world and other industries of power. By definition they have no consciense and manipulating vulnerable others is just logical behaviour to them. So sorry that you have this to deal with but know that others are outraged and send you moral support even if they cant offer practical support. Lv and blessings, Karen xox

    Even if you cannot prove positive this skunk did this terrible thing it won't harm to scare him everytime he looks in the mirror!

    You are entitled to be extremely angry. Unfortunately there are lots of low-life creeps around and they don't always show their true colours. We too have been trusting souls and have been conned by two so-called friends (on separate occasions) and once we were conned by a solicitor who embezzled money from my aunt's estate. We can only hope there is some justice in this world or the next.

    Best wishes,

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you for your kind messages. One of the things I feel strongly about living with cancer is practical things like the problems I (and Simon) had.

    It's bad enough to confront with terminal brain tumour and associated treatment, but to have to fend off scanbags at the same time is no grace to an end of a shortened life.

    Once I sort everything to my satisfaction, I will approach Brain Tumour UK to alert other brain tumour sufferers on how best to deal with similar circumstances.

    Thank you again,

    my mother in law died and her total cash left was less than £5oo..

    the whole family spent hundreds of pounds at solicitors aurguing who was entitled to what when they sorted it out they each got about £50.0 and a as they had agreed to pay their own costs they all got a bill for about £2 .300 each including my daft bl*****dy wife of the time. she insisted that it was the principal that counted. silly cow.

    25 letters arguing who should have a pot mug corination of q lizzie presented by the school to all puipils , get a mug copy for £1.00 in the market

    "its not the same thing is it???" Nut case

    the spanish have a better idea the older daughter looks after the aging parents and when they go home she cops for the lot as payment.. no aurguing.and ytou never see elderly spanish chucked into nursing homes.

    and then we question whether we deserve the world as we have it now, oh yes .
