My brother died on 11/30/20

This an update to my previous post. He had a stroke on 11/18/20. Then MRI done on 11/25/20 showed multiple mini strokes all over his brain. No hope to get better. He was transferred to Hospice 11/28/20. I got to visit him in 11/29/20. He died the next day. I'm glad he held on until I saw him. I still can't believe he is gone. His funeral is Sunday 12/6/20. RIP Big Brother

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he was waiting to say good-bye before he left. May his soul be flying free. Gentle support while you ride the waves here on Earth, Cheryl.

For what it's worth
I don't mind being called superstitious for believing my departed loved ones are more freely with me now than they were in their human forms. I don't believe for a minute science can measure the limits of the cosmic mysteries.

So glad you got to see him before he passed. That's the thing I hear from so many people, that a loved one hangs on long enough to hear and or see the person that they want to acknowledge.

Cherish those special moments and the wonderful memories as you grieve.

Sorry for your loss.

My heartfelt condolences, Life is so difficult, and death of those we truly love is one of the hardest challenges to get through. You were able to say goodbye before he left, and now you'll hold that memory in your heart. I didn't have that opportunity with my brother, who drowned at 30, decades ago. But he's here with me in my heart, as will your brother be in yours. Be gentle with yourself during this time of grief.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
