Greetings RPs.
My DB is in his last days/hours now. No one can predict a specific time for this type of thing, but he's showing all of the signs of active dying.
Hospice says maybe a day or two.
He's still at hime with me and has had a lot of visitors, which brings him comfort.
The care team has been amazing. I cannit praise them enough!
This has been such a hard thing. He's 52 years old. He isn't supposed to be dying! My heart is broken, but knowing he's as comfortable as possible is a relief.
Again, I ask for p&pt for his peaceful and blessed passing from this world.
A bit of rambling: he and I have had many times of estrangement in our life. He's a few years older than I am and has always danced to a different drum beat.
The past 16 months have allowed us to become friends and to lay to rest those issues.
I've been given the blessings of his friendship and he's taught me how to see the extraordinary in simple every day life. He's a miracle and I feel God's hand in bringing us back together.
Thanks for always being here...

raindancer, yes, I'm taking care of me, too. Sadly, I have been here with both my dad and another brother. I understand all too well that I have to have help and respite in order to get through this. He's my last living relative from my childhood. His passing will leave just my son and me. Gah! This just completely sucks.

I am so sorry, I know this is so hard for you. In the many times you have posted about your sweet brother I have felt the love you have for him. All siblings fight at one time or another that is just part of the deal but I am sure during those times you both still loved each other so much. I pray that he goes peacefully. Hugs to you.
