"Raylin" passed away on Monday. He must have been in so much pain. He had a brain bleed from lack of platelets (Advanced Prostate Cancer with bone mets). I took him to MD Anderson in a wheelchair for his scheduled chemo treatment -- we both thought it was chemo fatigue. We didn't make it to the chemo appt -- instead diverted from airport to Emergency Room, where they did brain surgery. But ultimately, the lack of platelets was an issue. 23 months from diagnosis and 57 years old.
I know he would want to wish all of you the best of luck with your treatments.

So very sorry for the loss of your young warrior and brother of ours . Praying for the peace and comfort that can only come from God . Just a thought - Grief is learning to live with someone in your heart with memories in your mind , instead of in your arms . Memories are a gift for all time . Peace

We all hate to address our end of days...personally I would take a way that would not stress my family. We never want to die...but I will go with dignity. God bless everyone whichever way you decide.
Very sorry for your loss, you both gave it your best shot, and you stood by him till the end, I'm sure your care and presence were of immeasurable comfort throughout his journey.
My dad passed 24 years ago and not a day goes by I don’t love the man still . These bonds are eternal ! Four months is so recent . I am sorry . God bless🙏
Your story is very hard to read and I am sure that it was very hard to live. He was very young to die of this disease and I hope you have a good support system to help you through now.
Thank you for letting us know. We appreciate being able to give our condolences because we are like a family here. Caregivers like you are our angels.

Please feel free to keep posting for moral support. I hope you can build a new life for yourself when you are over grieving enough to try.
Having lost my brother to this monster disease on the 22 January, I can feel your sadness and grief, particularly considering his young age. May he Rest in Peace.
I know no words can sooth the pain of your loss. Raylin was so young to get this horrible disease, but having you in his corner fighting with him showed him the Love you had for him.
May you find comfort in the prayers being said for Raylin, you and your family by the community on this website. Know your loss is felt by all of us.
I’m so sorry to hear of Raylin’s passing. No matter how much time we are given to be here on earth with our loved ones, it is never enough. I will keep him, and all of you who loved him and grieves his loss, in my prayers. Hopefully, the sadness and sense of loss you are feeling now will in good time transform into smiles of pleasant memories of happy times together. 🙏
So very sorry to hear how quickly treatments can change. Thank you for sharing your experience so that we can better appreciate the time we have with our loved ones. May your memories bring you joy in time. Hugs!
So sorry to hear about your loss. May Raylin Rest In Peace, free of pain. Losing loved ones it’s so very difficult. I hope you have people close who can carry this sadness with you.
Died at 57 years old.......... what a fucking shame... He just started posting here a year ago and he's gone. I don't know how you're related to Raylin but I'm really really angry at his passing at such a young age. You and all of his family and friends have my deepest condolences. May he live in eternity in peace as he should have while he was on this earth for such a short time. God Bless...
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s never easy losing someone close, but it is compounded when that person is not old, it is unexpected. I hope you grief is shortened by the good memories you can look upon.
There are never words in a time like this. Many here, like myself, have a little survivor guilt, to see someone still so young, pass on to the other side. May you find strength to pick yourself up and continue on.
You must be exhausted, depleted and devastated. I hope you have warriors close to help you. We are all part a village who will hold you and Raylin tenderly.
