Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
His wife was at work. He was in pain and he was going to the hospital in an ambulance. He died in the ambulance.
His heart finally gave out. They called my sister in law and told her that he didn’t make it.
So sorry for you and your family .
Thank you. I’m sort of in shock, he’s struggled for so long with heart disease and managed to come home. It’s hard to imagine that he’s gone forever now.
Thanks, I can’t stop crying. Too upset to sleep. I will miss him.
My oldest brother died shortly before my birthday. Funny how now my other brother died in October too.
My brother died on his oldest son’s first year wedding anniversary. One son lives here, the other one lives in AZ.
I guess I can go make some herbal tea. My mind is going in different directions. I hope that he wasn’t suffering horribly in the ambulance.
I wish I could have told him one more time that I loved him.
So sorry for the loss of your older brother.
💞🌹💞
Condolences to you and his family for this sudden loss.
I went to bed late. I did rest some. I just woke up.
I know that my brother suffered with his heart for a long time but it just doesn’t seem real that he is gone.
So sorry for your loss.
My brother and I had our differences for sure. I’m so glad that we learned to focus on what we shared in common and we let the rest go by the wayside.
There was a time when I felt each of us were too stubborn to meet each other in the middle. Somehow we did and I am very grateful for that.
Sometimes my mom pitted us against each other and I think it took us thinking independently to realize who we were and how we felt.
I don’t understand why my mom did that because I know that she wanted us to be close to each other.
I try not to interfere with my daughters relationship with each other. Fortunately, they get along well.
Our kids need to be able to figure things out for themselves. They don’t need us to try and manipulate their emotions. Guidance and manipulation are two entirely different things.
My brother and I grew very close and I will miss him terribly.
I am so sorry for the loss of your brother.
I lost my last brother this past Feb and it was a total shock.
Take extreme care of yourself.
I would like to think that I am not afraid to die but in reality I am afraid to die. I’m not exactly sure why I am afraid. Possibly, it’s just fear of the unknown.
I am absolutely terrified of my husband dying before me. I don’t know how people go on after losing their spouse.
I know that I when my time comes around I want it to be quick. I never want to be a burden to my family. I don’t want to linger and suffer for a long period of time.
I suppose that I should be grateful that my brother didn’t linger. Maybe I am being selfish but I wanted to have more time on this earth with him.
I hate having this feeling of unrest. How does anyone come to terms with dying when our time comes? I don’t like thinking about this so deeply, but as I said when we lose someone it brings certain thoughts to the forefront of our mind.
Do something for yourself each day. Take a walk. Make a cup of coffee or tea. Sit on your porch .
But I think maybe we need to grieve. Hopefully not for too long.
When I lost my older brother it hurt terribly. He was only 57. Much too young to die. Just as your brother was too young. I think when someone dies before their time it makes it that much harder for those left behind.
Be super kind to yourself.
Your words are comforting to me. You know the pain that I am feeling right now since you lost your brother too. Wow, 57. Far too young to leave this world.
