I lost my brother just 3 weeks ago today, it happened so suddenly and unexpectedly.
He had health issues and had been in the hospital Twice earlier this year for GI bleeds as he had liver issues. He was 65 and died just 4 days before his birthday. Forever 65 💙
He had a life long alcohol addition and for the past 4 years had been in 4 nursing facilities 2 being assisted living and then we were told he needed to be monitored for the vascular dementia in a locked hall.
He didn’t do well during the times
He was hospitalized with his memory but other times And especially lately he was so clear minded except for thinking he was in Jail.
The week that he passed he spent 2 nights with his daughter and grandkids, they were his world and that’s all he talked about and lived for. I spoke with him the day he went back to the NH and he was ok, and told me that he had a great time. I was so happy. I hadn’t seen him in person in a short time so I have so much guilt in my heart that I didn’t do enough or see him enough and I need prayers please.
I am the only one left of our immediate family and I’m just lost.
I miss him, and our conversations so much.

The Lord doesn't want you to feel guilty, It was his time to go home our eternity home in heaven. The Devil is the one who wants us to feel guilty. Please trust in the Lord and surrender all of this to him. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. Also ask the Lord to take your thoughts captive in the obedience of Christ. God bless you! I don't believe your brother would want you to beat yourself up. Enjoy your memories for now and live your life with your eyes on the Lord and just remember Heaven is a much better place than here when you are enduring suffering.
Dear Lord, please comfort and heal SRW of their pain and sense of guilt. I pray they will draw near to You and experience Your peace which passes all understanding throughout this season and beyond.
I want Peace and I want so much to be obedient and surrender my life totally to Him and serve him faithfully.
