Dear Oursez, I am So Sorry for your Loss. I am still there where you are at the moment due to my Wife Tina passing away on the 18/12/19. I took her for treatment of Small Cell Lung Cancer every 3 weeks and it certainly was horrendous at times, then the Radiotherapy sped things up. Her prognosis was 12 months but I only had her for 9. Your Brother, Your Rock, is now beside you guiding you along the path of life. I know its not much comfort to think about but you have to be strong. Its an AWFUL disease and the treatment can be awful too. Grieve for your Brother and then think about what he would want you to do. He is still with you in your heart and mind.

A Little boy asked his Mom ' Mom why do good people die?'

Mother says ' If you go into a garden full of flowers, which one do you pick?'

The little boy replies ' well thats easy, the most Beautiful one of course'

God Bless You With Everything

John

I am so very sorry to hear this. Words just seem so inadequate at times of such great loss, but I hope all your wonderful memories of your brother, who you clearly loved dearly, will be of comfort in the days ahead. I don’t doubt you were a great comfort and support to him during his illness. Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences as well as best wishes for peace and healing πŸŒΌπŸ’• xx

So sorry for your loss. Dont know where you are but in the US there are many grief groups where you share your pain and anger. After I lost my beautiful older son Joshua, we went to a meeting of The Compassionate Friends. All there had suffered a grievous loss like you. It was helpful to share with people who were in the same position. G-d Bless.

Awww my dear, I am soooo sorry to here such news, May god give you strength and trust your dear brother is no longer suffering.

Sometimes treatments can help but no necessarily get rid of the illness that’s been diagnosed, know that god knows best, maybe your dear brother was suffering internally, that his body may have not been able to handle the treatment?

I know of many that have had the treatment, with very little benefit, the quality of life was severely affected.

No rumours shrunk and no signs of cancer stopping spreading.

Sometimes we want our loved ones here, because we don’t want them to go... but actually we forget their pain and their suffering, sadly they don’t always voice their in pain.😒

We only see what’s on the outside.

Please keep strong and know your dear brother is no longer in pain or suffering this horrendous illness.

A big hug. Try to remind yourself that he is released from pain and struggle now. We want our relatives to go on but I remind myself that if an animal was living a long painful death that I would rather they were released from it...so why not our loved human beings. In time you will bring to mind all the good memories of him and you will carry him with you through your life with warm feelings. Until then be good to yourself as he too would only want the best for you. x
