Default A Horrible Night

I lost my birth brother last night. At 56 he was much too young to die. I was one of 5 siblings in my birthfamily. Now its just Cathy and me. May his memory be a blessing.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I still have my 5 siblings but we were estranged a few years ago. After losing our parents and a sweet BIL with another at the edge, I understand that petty differences are so unimportant. Slowly I'm reaching out to build a bridge back to them. Someday my son and I may reconnect; I hope so.

I know all to well that words cannot heal but I have experienced my child's death and I can feel your agony. My prayers are with you.

Thank you all for your support. I feel I can now say that he committed suicide with a shotgun in front of his S.O. of 22 years, with whom he had been arguing. Alcoholism was involved. His S.O. feels she thinks he really didn't want to do this but was trying to scare her. In any case, Anger+Alcohol+Guns=Tragedy. He was depressed for some years since his daughter died after a failed heart transplant. If you have seen the movie The Fifth Quarter, you saw a somewhat fictionalized account of her transplant. Heartache, anger, feelings of what could we have done differently are probably never to be resolved.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Having lost an unborn child myself, I can sort of empathize with what he was going through.
