The original post is from 2012, and I think the update yesterday indicates that his mum has also passed away :(.
Sorry for your loss.

yes, she was too depressed, became reclusive and took to drinking very abusively. Liver + kidney damage was substantial. Despite her being t-total since Jan/Feb the damage was done. She was just about to be discharged from hospital a couple of weeks ago, but then complications arose and her body couldn't keep up any more.

A very sad end - she could have lived for decades more... :(

Thank you all for your sympathies.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss, it's a day I dread as I'm very close to my own Dad. It sounds liek you have managed to find some 'good' from the way it happened & that you parted in the best of ways.

Whilst I can't recommend a song I've always been drawn to thee lyrics from Pearl Jam's 'Man of the hour' which I like:

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just g'bye for now
 
lost my dad 10 years ago, miss him loads, think of him often,

I am so sorry for your loss, sadly the grief stays with you forever, but it gets easier.

this has actually brung it all back for me, silly really

Sorry for your loss. Do you mind me asking in how old they were ?

:( Can't really write anything more apt than - THIS IS JUST ****!!

I replied to your thread last year explaining my mother passed away from cancer. Well exactly one year later my younger brother died quite tragically. It's a strange place to be, in your head, when you lose these people so close to you in such quick succession. Keep your head high buddy and keep your friends and family close at this time.
 
Sorry for your loss, it's a difficult time I know, you'll thank yourself for being with him whilst you could :)

It's not silly at all ;) It does it for everyone if you really cared about them. It's a good thing it brings it all back really.

How you feel now will subside and you'll think about him every day, so although gone, there.

Just saw my own dad on a DVD last night, 16 years gone now. Hang in there :).
 
thanks again for your sympathies

yes, I remember the emails we exchanged, although not in detail. It was appreciated, thanks. I'm sorry to hear about your brother
 
Words can't describe how hard this must be for you. I'm so sorry to hear this. Stay strong and remember that your parents would want you to be happy.
 
My Dad passed away three months ago, I thought losing one parent was bad. I have no idea what you must be feeling at this painful time.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
