sadness
One of my best friends just lost his brother. It all happened so fast. Last week they discovered what they thought was pneumonia was in fact a necrotic lung from a tumor. Then he was in ICU, moved into hospice care, and he passed away last night.
One Week.
They only had one week to come to terms. And all this time, when he was suffering, the nurses and assisted living people he lived with just kept saying it was a bad cold, bronchitis and pneumonia.
It makes me sick to my stomach that just because he was a "special needs" person, he wasn't treated with the kind of care that a "normal" person would have been given. They just assumed he was, what, crazy? Making shit up??
i can't imagine how Brian is dealing with all of this. i can't imagine what it is like to lose almost all of your family within a few years. His dad passed, then his older sister, and now Eric. He and his mom are the only ones left. God, i can't imagine. and he's a guy, so he's keeping it all in...Shell can't do or say anything to make him feel better...and neither can the rest of us. It just breaks my heart.
