Kate - 17 Mar 2007 04:04 GMT
My brother died this past Monday. He had liver failure from drinking
to much, just age 50, only 14 months older than me. We went through
school in the same grades so in many ways we were more like twins. I
loved him dearly in spite of his problem and it's hard to imgine my
life without him in it. He was in a lot of pain and was ready to go
and I'm thankfull he is not  suffering. He was never RA positive but
had a great deal of joint pain none the less and large joints in his
hands so I always wondered. He left 4 children the youngest 18.Kate

I am so sorry to hear your news. I am sure that you are devastated.
Please accept my condolences. I wish there were some way I could help.

Kate, I am sorry for your loss. I have a brother 2 years younger than myself
who has been struggling with substance abuse most of his life. And mainly
Alcohol.
He has alot of mental problems and I believe that although he has done this
to himself...I can't think but wonder if we knew then what we know
now...About mental disease and other disorders.
I am sorry this is not the time for me to talk about this.
My brother also has Hep C and severe arthritis. His mental problems add to
the mix..
I can understand how you love your brother in spite of the things he did to
his body to shorten his life...
My prayers are with you and his family. It must be very difficult for his
children.
Lots of prayers and hugs
Cindy

It is said that alcohol is the "solution" and not the "problem".
Sorry to hear about both cases.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Kate. I will keep your family in my
prayers. I never had a brother, but I had a younger sister who died at
the age of 48 so I know what it's like to lose a sibling.

HUGS,

Hi Kate,,,,,   I am so sorry that your brothers time to go was now.   I hope
he knew that he had a sister that loved him for himself and his children
felt the same way.   No pain now.   Please take things easy for awhile.
Someone's passing that is close to us can be harder on us than we think.

Kate, my sympathy to you and all the family.  So sad that children are left
without a father.
