I am so sad

Got a phone call from the hospital last nite telling me my brother had been admitted and passed away.  He has been in and out of the hospital,back and forth from the rehab center.  My daughter works on the floor where he has been, and even been his nurse.  His wife passed away in Aug., and he missed her so.  They are together now, and I am so grateful he is not suffering any more, he can finally breath without struggling.  The most amazing part was that one of my daughters friends was his nurse when he came up to the floor last nite, and knew it was her uncle, and stayed with him after her shift so he would not be alone.  How lucky we are to have such good friends.  I am also glad it did not happen when I was in the hospital with my own surgery, that would have been additional stress for me.  I called my other brother and sisters, we are now 4 left out of six, the bad news is I am the least healthy of all the others.  They are all older than I am.  I need to get this surgery, so I am not the next one.  I am the youngest.  Both my brothers died of the same thing, they had SMOKED since they were about 11 yo.  I am at my daughters and am keeping a straight face, I don't want her to know how this is affecting me.  Thanks for let me rant, (again)

Sorry to hear about your loss.  My thoughts are with you also.  Knowing he's in a better place sure doesn't help the missing him part here, huh!!!

((( you )))

Ena,

I'm sorry for your loss.  Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry for your loss. It is ok to have emotions, let them out wheever you need to. Holding in is what makes us want to use food. If you dont feel you can do it with family come here or find people you can share your grief with.

Ena,

I am really sorry for your loss and want to say, it is ok to feel your feelings, to show how sad you are, it will release you from your pain and show your family that it is ok to have these feelings, as many of us who are overweight can attest to, feelings were a huge part of how we got obese to begin with.

Prayers and good wishes for you in this time of grieving.
