One medical story

Maggie has had a hard time recently. Firstly, her sister broke down 1 after her divorce and was sick
for several months. Maggie was still caring for 2 her when her brother was hit on the head by a tile
that fell from a roof. He was unconscious for a couple of days. Fortunately, he pulled through 3 and
has now more or less fully recovered although he does seem to have slowed down 4 a lot. No sooner
were they both better than their grandfather passed away 5 and then just a few weeks later their
grandmother passed on 6 too.

1 broke down - became mentally or physically ill because of an unpleasant experience
2 caring for - looking after someone who is too ill, too young, or too old to look after themselves
3 pulled through - recovered from a serious illness
4 slowed down - become less physically active than before
5 passed away - died
6 passed on - died
