R.I.P. Dear Brother.

I've not spent much time on this forum recently, mainly due to ill health but my more recent absence is due to the death of my younger brother.

Lee was 64yrs when he died alone and the manner of his death was very unpleasant & upsetting as was the period leading up to his his death. He was one of those "could be something of a pain in the ass brothers on occasion but was always lovable despite 'whatever' " I can't elaborate at the moment but the police are involved and an autopsy is due to be carried out.

He was a lovable & thoughtful kinda guy and I remember him being just as nice even when he was far too young to start school, it's just such a horrible feeling when you've missed the chance to say a few words of comfort while the opportunity was there - even to say goodbye would have meant something.

I'll never be short of reminders of him as in the 1980's he'd planted trees and shrubs extensively in the grounds of the local hospital, they're all still there in their maturity and I'm frequently pointing the fruits of his labour out to all and sundry upon every one of my visits - always with great pride.

R.I.P. Dear Brother.

Deepest sympathy to you Christine.

Oh, Christine. I am so sorry. :'-( :'-(

Thanks, Guys. The situation is quite surreal at the moment, 'raw' is fair description of how it all feels so far.

Sorry for your loss Christine! Our heartfelt condolences!

I’m really sorry Christine

Sorry to hear Christine.

My deepest condolences. Be strong. Igor

Sorry to hear of this news Christine. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, everyone. It's not easy finding the right things to say in such circumstances but your wishes and thoughts are very much appreciated.

Thanks, Guys.

So sorry to hear and sending posiitivity your way in the face of not knowing how else to help

My sincerest condolences. It is never easy losing someone close let alone not having been there. I am sure he is looking down wanting you to remember the good things in life and to carry on. We are all on this journey on different courses all leading to the same road at the end.

I'm sorry for your loss, I've never been good at dealing with losses, and hardly strong enough to talk about them. I hope you and any family/friends are doing as well as possible. You can always say goodbye anytime. He'll know.

Sorry for your loss Christine. Our thoughts are with you.

James

I don't care what anybody says , there's no dignity in death , not too much dignity in life either.

Sorry for your loss, best of luck getting through the difficult times...
