Just got the dreaded call from my Sister-in-law

So sorry to hear that. How old is your brother? I'm assuming it isn't possible to go see him one last time?
I’m so sorry for you and your family. I’ve been through that when my older brother was only 33.
I wish your family peace. I lost my brother at 44 back in August 1996.
He is 76. I am homebound and can no longer make the trip, to see him or attend the service.
From following your other posts, I kind of wondered if that was the case. I imagine you wish you could.
So sorry to read this. Prayers sent.

Very sorry to hear this. My condolences.
My MIL hid her health problems for years as she didn't want to get treatment.
We knew there were issues she was hiding, but what could we do. Now it's full blown cancer with alzheimer's and diabetes.
We just celebrated her 80th in May (her b-day was in July).
I've known her for over 20 years and I still remember the first time we met. She seemed so cool compared to any other mom I knew - even my own!
We'd both would enjoy poking fun at her daughter.
When she'd cook, she'd make enough to feed an army on a moment's notice (farmer life).
My partner is with her as we speak. Doctors give her about a month or two in her current condition.
Her memory is fading fast and I'm really going to miss her
Luckily she still remembers me and said she wants me to come visit her before she goes.
I had to stay home as I'm working on a school project and dealing with year-end at work (lots of questions from the auditors).
Once I get the call that she's about to go, I'm on the next flight out.
That's rough. I hope you could part on good terms and without unfinished business remaining.
So sorry, JD. I hope and pray he is comfortable and you find some peace and comfort in all this.
Could you do a Zoom conference call with your brother, just so that the both of you could see each others faces one last time?

Truly sorry. I know what it feels like to must miss out on being there with family at important times.... good or bad , due to your own health. One wants to be there yet really can not. Just keep in mind , your family knows you would be there if you could. Prayers out to you and yours.
Can someone help you set up a video call? Might be better than nothing.
It would make no sense. They have him on morphine and pretty much asleep all day.
Does not even recognize his own wife of 48 years. Has dementia on top of the drugs.
My younger Brother went to visit today. Did not know him either.
I just kind of want this thing over at this point and accept the loss.
Did get a tickle this AM. Our 94 year old Dad wanted to ride with little Brother and say goodbye.
Very rural area with few small towns. Brother knew better and has done those trips before.
It would mean a gravel road pee break every 15 minutes for the old boy.
My condolences. Very sad
Your dad is still gracing this earth. There is hope for you jdeere

So sorry. Having a sister I can only imagine how difficult that must have been.
Try to stay in touch with the sister-in-law if you can.
