It's over, and he can rest.

Zagged,
That's the way i hope to go out. Having said my goodbyes
and knowing everythings gonna be alright.

About the best one could hope for.

My deepest condolences on your families loss sir.

Prayers and condolences from our house for you and your family. Having lost a younger sister way too young, I have some experience with this kind of loss, and should tell you not to be surprised if it hits harder in a week or two. Lean on your friends. We're here.
 
Please accept my condolences and know that prayer continues for you, your family and those that mourn his death, including we, who did not have the chance to meet him.
 
Some, perhaps many of you, already know this; but when a loved one is dying and seems completely unresponsive, tell him you love him and that it's all right to let go and rest. Tell him that anyway. He may well be hearing you, and need the reassurance.

Again, thanks to all of you here for your prayers and support. This is an amazing forum.
 
Sorry about you loss. But at the same time we are sad but we need to rejoice and remember their life. He is not in pain and suffering mode anymore. I lost my father a little over six years ago. He didnt want a funeral he wanted us to have a reunion. I would have to say that the good times outweigh the bad. So just remember those. May God bless you and the rest of your family.
 
Sorry on the loss of your brother. What peace of mind to know everything
you needed or wanted to say was said between you.

I have experience too, with my beloved wife and then both parents. I know how it can clobber you when the first semi-numbness goes away.

And I'll lean on you guys. I leaned heavily on the wonderful people of my church this morning (all of them much younger than I), and will lean on many, many friends in another fellowship to which I've belonged for 33 years.

I'm a child of the Depression and grew up learning that big boys don't cry and real men don't ask anybody for anything. Then in middle age, a long time ago, I learned that is an overflowing crock.

I treasure all my friends, including the many on this forum whom I've never met, and ask for help when I need propping up.
 
so very sorry

Mike, I just came across this and wanted to express my sincere sympathy for your loss. You are so blessed that you had the opportunity to say what needed saying to your brother. So many of us do not get that chance or make the effort to ensure our loved ones know how we feel. I was not at my father's bedside when he passed many years ago and I have carried that pain and disappointment with me ever since. You were lucky to have your little brother for so many years and have all the good memories to keep him present in your heart. My prayers for you and your family.... Kaye
