good morning, following on from my post a few weeks ago about my brother, a couple of weeks after I posted he was admitted into hospital again with fluid in the lungs, kept on critical care for a couple of weeks on a chest drain, It was decided by the doctors that the chest drain was serving no purpose as the fluid was not stopping so it was removed and he was admitted to a liver ward .over the next few weeks he had severe ascticis , buildup of bile in stomach which had to have a drain in to remove it, about 8 litres and was in constant pain, only morphine could give some relief, after about 4 weeks it was decided that there was nothing else that could be done for him so the doctors told him that he was going to die, his last wishes were that he could die at home, with a massive effort from the NHS he was allowed home after a couple of days, he slowly deteriorated over the course of a few days and peacefully passed away surrounded by his family. Alcohol related liver disease is a terrible disease to witness any one going through so I would urge anyone who has been told by their doctors to stop drinking alcohol DO IT for the sake of you and your family. Thanks for reading may he rest in peace

My condolences, so awful for you and your family. I am so glad I changed my life choices. I still have cirrhosis, that's not going away, but I'm still sober over 1.5 years now and no chance of going back.
I really wish you all the very best, take one day at a time and thank you for your posts.

I am deeply sorry to hear of your brothers passing. It must have been so heartbreaking for you and family. I lost my brother in dreadful circumstances with internal bleeding and infection with gall bladder complications. So can imagine the terrible time you've been through. Take good care of yourself. Hugs x
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you and your family. It truly is a terrible disease.
Really sorry to hear this tomgill. My brother was decompensated and was told he would die. By some miracle he pulled through but it was the most scary time of our lives. Please take care of yourself ❤️

You are very kind to think of others during this sad time for yourself, thank you.
So sorry for your loss .
I am so sorry to hear about the sad loss of your brother, god rest his soul. I fully agree that anyone who is still drinking with liver problems should pack it up now.
so sorry to hear you’ve lost your brother - my thoughts are with you and your family.
Alcoholism almost got me. Close to death twice. It is a tragic, horrible disease that kills more people than reported. They list so many deaths to the symptoms and not to alcoholism. So sorry for your loss. May God bless your brother and family.
Very sad to read your post about your dear brother. At least he was able to request his last wish to be at home with his loving family before his life came to an end. You will have very happy memories of the times when you were growing up with your brother and, likewise, I am sure he would have reflected on these at certain points in his life. He is at peace now and you, as a much loving brother, did all you could for him. My hearfelt thoughts to all.
So sorry for your loss
My sincere sympathy and condolences to you and your family. Thank you for being brave and posting your story, even though there is no happy ending. I think that if just one person reads it and makes that change, it can only be a good result. My prayers 🙏 are with you all, at this sad time.
So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. 🙏
So sorry to hear your brother has passed away, glad he was able to be at home, sending you and family lots of love ❤ I lost my mum and brother in law to liver disease in the last couple of years so can join you in saying it's a heart breaking disease xx
my condolences. Did he continue to drink? 😟 Was a transplant not an option? I am so sorry - this disease is terrible…
My condolences Tom. It must be so very hard.
I'm glad to hear he passed in the way he wished. Take care. xx
