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.

I’m so sorry. I’ve told people in my personal life that going into ICU does not mean any more than that. It’s bad but most recover from ICU.

I just lost my older brother a few months ago.

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

No one deserves to go through what you are except tRump. He should die a thousand horrible deaths for the way this pandemic has been handled.

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

I haven't provided updates at DU for my sister-in-law in awhile, but she had a downturn days ago and has been inside an ICU too.

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 am not a person who prays. People like this have gotten me to do that.

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

It's happening far too often right now. The best I can do is say "hang in there, and don't let life get you down." Small comfort, I know. I hope your brother and his wife pull through this.

COViD19 but he is responsible for how fighting it was and is being done in the US. And his supporters have cost many, many lives with their stupid, selfish, racist behaviors.

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'
