(63,221 posts)This has been such a horrible year for you. It's not fair that one person should have to face so much hardship in such a short period of time. I am sending healing thoughts and good vibes to you and your family and I hope your brother makes a full recovery. I also hope your SIL manages to escape the worst of it as well.
Please take care of yourself and keep us posted.
You have had a really rough year. 2020 sux, in general, but you have taken more than your share of really hard hits. Best wishes.

There was no way to travel, or be able to see him as the end approached.

I want to get off with you. Got my brakes on!

My brother asked how she got so much worse after the doctors and nurses were positive about her recovery the previous day, and a nurse replied, "That's Covid."

I know that prayers do not heal, medicine does, but prayers do comfort.

(31,997 posts)I was young when he got married but we have remained close.
Not as close as Regina, but he used to carry me around every where.
He is my bubby-my brother
when he hugs, he makes me feel like I am in our father's arms-he hugs the same way.
I can't bear to lose him right on top of losing Regina
I just cant'
