I went home this week-end and found out that my brother is dying. Six months to a year. Maybe. Renal failure due to alcoholism. He has very little ability to eat. He is almost six feet tall and weighs about 125-130. He can't remeber much of anything anymore. No dialysis because he is an alcoholic. He is 33 years old

Thanks Bro. It's strange how some us seem to go through this kind of stuff at rather early ages. My gf has has'nt even lost a grand parent. I have none left. Right now I just feel weird. I think I'm just trying to deal with the waiting. I don't really know what is worse. Your loved ones dying quickly or slowly watching them waste away.
I don't know about the courage part but, I do love him and that is something that I have never had to question. Weird huh?
I know that death is one of the biggest parts of life, the first is birth, but you never really are ready for it. My whole family has known since he was a small child, that he would be one of the first to go. He had kidney problems as a child and the result of that is only having half of a kidney. We almost lost him when he was young.
I don't know how my mother deals with all of this.

I'm sorry cscc has screwed you over so bad. I have'nt had any problems.

As you know I don't post a lot, but I do read a lot. I guess I'm kind of lazy in that respect.
Thanks again and take care.
