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.

The funeral went ok. It was small because of Covid. I still can't believe it all happened.

CherylMc, I'm so sorry for your loss. As many times as I try to wrap my head around death and loss, it all seems so cruel and like it's not supposed to happen. I think it's because facing losing someone is something we push off until it's staring us in the face and in the moment.

Still doesn't make it any easier...EVER. Just like the name of this website, Daily Strength, you will now need to find a new normal and renewed daily strength for each day you face. You brother would want you to move forward, it doesn't mean we love them any less or that their loss isn't still felt daily, it's that we choose to take the next step moving forward knowing that we had their love and life as long as we did and are better because of it. You are not alone, my friend. Loss is tough! My sister just passed after a 7.5 year battle with stage 4 cancer, she was 51. Even knowing she was super sick, it still comes as a shock. I feel your pain!
