Support in Grieving the Loss of a Mother and Brother

Donation protected
On 5/19, I lost my brother. As we prepared to say goodbye to my mom that evening, we got the devastating news that they found fluid around his heart and the treatment options at that point were high risk. We were told we’d know more in the morning. My family and I gathered at the hospital with my mom who was unconscious at this point and I had decided to stop further treatment and to sit with her until she passes.

Getting the news my brother was coding multiple times was overwhelming. By the time I got to the hospital, they had revived him 6 times and the brain damage was too much. We said goodbye minutes later and I rushed back to be with my mom and she passed quietly, holding my hand, this morning on 5/20. It's been overwhelming and heartbreaking.

I’m grateful for my sister-in-law handling my brother's death and his arrangements while I plan my mom's. I’m overwhelmed and honestly don’t know where to begin but I am doing this myself and will say anything would help. Anything including prayers, positive vibes, and any advice/comfort. My mom and my brother were my world and I truly don’t know what’s beyond this. I keep pausing and wanting to call my brother or my mom for advice, quickly realizing the reality of it all. I appreciate everyone’s condolences and am grateful for all the kind messages. Thank you✨
