A Brother's Passing
    My 59 year old brother passed away. It was shocking to us. We knew he was not well, we did not know how bad it was. He thought he was shielding us, I guess, from his misery. It doesn't help us now as we put the pieces together and know just how much he was suffering and for so long.
    My father is in his 80's and he's not handling it well. His emotions are all over the place. Everything we say or do offends him. We're all at different stages in our grief. Some are too outspoken; some don't speak up until the boiling point hits. It's very tense. We love each other, but we aren't helping each other grieve. We're all at odds.
    I guess we'll work it out. The bottom line is we've lost someone special and none of our lives will be the same. That we share.
