In reply to the discussion: Oh my God my brother just died. [View all]halfulglas
(1,654 posts)112. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I hope your heart rests easy in that you reconciled so you don't have that unfinished business between you. Since he also apologized to you for something you don't even remember, you know it lay heavy on his heart as well. You are never alone when you have a site like this that doesn't judge your actions. I think sibling deaths can be among the worst for us in this age group because of the shared childhood memories. Peace to you.

I am so sorry. My brother died during covid and they never told me he was sick or in hospice.

Yeah. I'm still really angry about it. You couldn't even pick up the phone and tell me he was dying?
