shocked and grieving...

Gráinne · 01-31-2011, 10:49 AM

My brother passed away this morning/late last night. He was older than I am, but only 66. He'd had cirrhosis of the liver for many years, plus a number of strokes, so this wasn't a huge surprise, despite still being a shock, you know? I know his quality of life sucked for over a year, but still...

I was very sorry to read of the loss of your brother.

I hope you have lovely memories of times the two of you spent together, that you can hang onto very tightly while you process your loss.

The loss of a sibling is very hard to wade through.

Lean on your community whenever you can. You are not alone.
