You can't make this sh*t up (2nd parent passed)

[beardedgorilla]

Sorry for your loss brother I will say a prayer for your family. God Bless.
It’s hard, try to think of all the good memories and make them proud.

I lost my older brother last year who would be 39 on a deployment and it was tough to handle but i remember what he loved doing and that makes him live on forever.

That's one thing I've always done for those I've lost. Take something they did, something they loved, and continue doing it in their honor. A little way of keeping them alive in my world, even if no one else knows it.

Man what a year y'all
Feb/2025 Mother passed in hospice couldn't see her but (but was able to speak to her)..
Many supportive comments and few encouraged me to make the trip but was unable to due to work.

July/2025 my younger brother text me and said Dad is in the hospital and is yellow "jaundice".

This time job or no job I shot right out...
when I got there he was awake an coherent, we spoke, we shared and we Loved, I made any all things within my power right that day...
Next day he had an episode and basically they put him on pressors (his body was shutting down).
My brother flew in (we don't talk much if at all), we spent time with him and He and I talked a lot.

I am posting this to say, those comments from the other post made an impact on me and had I have not gone or even waited, I would not have had the closure nor the restoration between me and my brother.
Now were not BFF's but we text every week or so with little things (that to me aren't so little)...

Driving home the first thought I had was, Fuck, I can no longer call my Mom or Dad
Death is a crazy topic and when it gets real, it get real..

I’m so sorry, bro!!!
God, that’s rough!!!
It never makes sense and it always hurts! I’m stumped on the whole life and death thing! Just enjoy today and everyone you love! You never know what comes next! Hang in there! I’m glad you and your brother are talking again!

That’s very hard when you loose both parents. I lost my dad September 2 2016 of cancer. A year later my mom passed of dementia and Alzheimer’s. And 6 months ago I lost my sister of cancer. She was only 62. It’s been really rough for me . Still haven’t been able to get over it.

Sorry to hear OP I feel your pain.

I was able to say bye to both of my parents but not my sister that is killing me.

I want to add to what @johnjuanb1 said. I’m glad you and your brother are talking again even if it’s not much. Me and one of my brother stop talking because we didn’t agree to where we as a family where throwing my moms ashes because she wanted it in the ocean. Now we starting talking again and text. After so long time wasted.

I'm sorry about you and your families losses of your parents. I pray that God comforts and heals all of your pain, regrets or brokenness and gives you the strength to go forward. It's great that you were able to mend some with your brother! The most important thing we have in this life is our relationships and it's great that you and your brother no longer have to carry any heaviness due to unresolved matters. I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers Brother!

Sorry to hear that brother. Keep your head up and there memories in your thoughts. You will get through it. Glad you got closure , many people do not get that opportunity. That’s awesome you and your brother are closer now. Always ask for help if you need it. Best of luck
