Was very distressing for everyone in my household. My brother's condition has deteriorated so much that he can barely speak (cannot eat/drink anymore, always ends up going up his throat), cannot hear whatsoever anymore, has no control over his neck, cannot walk... Lets just say he's in a scary state at the moment. I was told today that his cancer has progressed to such a state that there is no cure... No bloody cure. Its an awful feeling, knowing that no matter what you do, you can't physically cure him. I feel like I've failed as an older sibling. He's such a gentle person, and I love my siblings to bits. My heart aches when I see him this way. Seeing him like this has made everybody teary at home, (its very hard seeing both my parents sobbing, they're normally very strong individuals) we're trying to make him feel as comfortable as possible, but most of the time he's asleep. My little sister has tried everything to keep him happy too. Writing out sweet stuff about him. As a family we vowed to stick together through thick and thin... So if you don't even see me lurking for quite a while, least you know why.
We all understand, hun. In times like these family comes first, and it's important that you all are there for each other. I hope everything will go alright, take whatever time you need. Take your time Cherry, when or if you decide to come back we'll still be here when you get back. Be strong, I'm proud of you!
I'm so sorry to hear that Cherry Berry. Family are very important and it's horrible when something like this happens. I hope things look up for you soon. You're family are in my prayers.
Terrible news. He didn't make it... Died on New Years day. The battle's been lost. 1.1.11 Even the date of his death showed that he's a number 1 angel. I guess you guys won't be seeing me for a while... Hell, I probably will extend my leave here indefinitely, till I clear my mind..
No problem. We understand. Things like this take time to recover from. Take as much time away as you need. I'm really sorry, Cherry. ='(
No matter where I look, all I see is him. I may write on the departure thread one of these days when I've got the heart to... But right now I'm grieving with my family. The people I'm REALLY*ANGRY with right now is the cousins and aunties+uncles on my dad's side. Wouldn't actually give a crap about him till he died. Called my mum cold because she was trying to hold back her emotions. They even made it look like they suffered more than our actual family. Right now I want to punch the crap out of them all. They kept making excuses up that they were 'ill' so they wouldn't visit my brother. What's worst is the fact that when he passed away in front of us all, one of my uncles called saying he wouldn't believe it until he freaking saw it... I was this close to grabbing the phone out of my godmother's hand and chucking it everywhere. Maybe I'll go and give him a welcoming across the face with my fists next time I see him. That somewhat is comforting to me... I still can't believe he's gone. Even when I saw the body everyone was in hysterics, thinking that somehow they had it wrong... But he was still warm from all the blankets covering him.
Take all the time you need. Ignore those relatives, they appear to not understand how you are all feeling. Reminiscing all the good times you've had may help, I don't know though.
