My brother and just life and stuff

<< < (3/65) > >>

Hopalong:
Not sure that "grace" is in your mom's lexicon, Boat...
but you can have your own grace in mourning him,
and say farewell in your own way and at your own time,
regardless of what ceremonies the family creates.

You will find your peace. Your brother is safe.

Awfully glad you reached out to your brother's friend
and got those kind words from his father.

Thinking of you,
Hops

Meh:
It feels like my life has changed immensely. Even if I didn't maintain a close relationship with him, I knew he was still on the planet, now he is really really gone.

I really want to call his friend but I'm not sure if I should or not. His friend is the only person that I knew somewhat that had a relationship with my brother outside of the family context.

Meh:
Called my mother's phone number to get contact info for my brother's friend and ask her if she thinks it would be okay if I contacted him. She actually sounded like she was enjoying the long drive to my brother's place I guess because she gets to see his two kids. She doesn't seem that upset at all really.

Ales2:
Hi Green Bean- So sorry to hear about this. I'm very sorry for your loss. There really are no good words to help with this. Keep posting here and reaching out when you can.  All the best to you during this tough time.

Hopalong:
FWIW, I see nothing whatsoever wrong with calling your brother's friend...
in fact, might be a really good idea.

Maybe you could ask if he'd like to meet you for a cup of coffee.
You could just say it'd be good to talk to someone who knows him,
since things are a little awkward with family.

What's to lose? If he says no, doesn't mean anything.
If he says yes, that would be a comfort.
