I don't really post personal stuff on the site despite the fact I've been on here a long time. But my brother died today. He'd had lung cancer, and it was caught early. They operated, but then he got pneumonia, and on top of that an infection early on, and ICU psycosis which I'd never even heard of, then finally another infection from the feeding tube they just put in two days ago, which led to emergency surgery today. He didn't make it out of that surgery. It was just too much on top of everything else. It really sucks because he'd finally quit smoking, and was very motivated to do everything to fully recover. I've lost both my parents, a set of grandparents, family friends, and others before. This is the first time I've lost a sibling. It's very hard, and hurts. There is so much he was interested in, and I keep seeing stuff that I would normally be very eager to talk to him about. Nobody really knows me, and nobody should feel obligated to respond. I won't think less of anyone. Just trying to get it out, because I'm away from my family right now, and won't be with them until Wednesday.
Doesn't matter if anyone knows any of us,we are all humans. Prayers are sent during this difficult time.
I'm sorry to hear that. I've lost a couple close friends (and grandparents, but that's to be expected), but never a sibling. Do you have any other siblings? Hang in there.
God damn, man. I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope your family can help and support you through this tough time. My thoughts are with you and your brother.
So sorry to hear that FB. Losing one of my brothers or my sisters is something I think about and really dread. Stay strong.
I feel your pain just reading your writing man..it even hurts me to read it. Hope you get through this tough ordeal like you did with the others.
Prayers sent my man. My mother, father and older brother all smoke. I wish there was something I can do to get them to stop.
