Oh man, so sorry to read this.

So sorry to hear of your loss She. Thinking we could have done more comes into every decent persons mind no matter how much you can do. I`m sure your brother knew you loved him.

Jane and I are thinking of you at this sad time.

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes. He's at peace now, no more pain. xx

So sorry for your loss @Eccles Blue

Completely normal to feel guilt and regret and like you should have done something different, but you have nothing to feel bad about. I imagine it would have cheered him to think of you enjoying the things that are important to you.

As you don't like to swear, allow me to do it for you. Fuck cancer.

My 'baby' brother died yesterday. He was 62 years old and lived down south and I hadn't seen him since before Covid. He was 1 year older than my oldest child.

I can't sleep, I was watching football and posting on here when he died. Am I selfish, was I selfish? I couldn't have driven down to see him so I tell myself I wasn't and he knew I loved him and thought of him.
He died peacefully with his wife beside him. The brother closest in age to him had gone down from Hull to represent us all but he had gone out for a walk.

It was the 'big c' and, for those of you who know my assertion that I can't swear, I actually said the f word on Thursday, followed by the big c word (not the 4 letter one) but I sensed my Dad's arm on my shoulder telling me it was ok just this once.

Sorry to meander on..... I just needed to vent and gear myself up for the day ahead when I have to be strong for the others. As the eldest it's drummed into me from the day the first sibling after me was born. :-)
Sorry.


EDIT: Mods, if this shouldn't be here, please feel free to delete it. :-)

My heartfelt condolences Eccles. Hope you're ok kidda. RIP your kid. X

Eccles, don't beat yourself up that you didn't visit. Age, health issues and travel all combined to prevent you going.
What matters is he knew you loved him and always will. Stay strong.

Deepest condolences to you and your family Blue.
