My younger brother passed away from acute leukemia this morning. It was a fight for the last year, frankly mostly a downhill fight.

Going from grief to feeling numb right now.

I’m sorry for your loss but take comfort in the fact that his struggle is over and he’s at peace now.

Death is only hard for those of us left behind. Hopefully the memories you have of him will bring you some measure of comfort.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
I just talked to mine who recently came close to the same.
I will pray for you and your family.

My sincere condolences. After my wife died a year ago, I found that for awhile, I was in shock, although she had been suffering from Alzheimer's dementia for some time. But after awhile, the shock -- or "numbness" as you said -- became grief. I wish you the best. it takes a while.

Small comfort at a time like this, I know, but so often in recent years I have had to remind myself to rejoice in the fact that I had that person in my life.

Sincere condolences and prayers for your brother and for those left behind.

Although we know that all lives end and even though we are sometimes amazed and deeply touched by loved ones who strive bravely to stay with us, the courage we see in their effort and our knowledge of the inevitable often are not sufficient when we finally experience the loss. I pray for your sustenance and peace, and am sorry you are feeling this loss to strongly. I do hope that you are feeling better soon.

Fugg Cancer. Lost way too many friends and family members to it in the last 3 years. Some older, but quite a few younger folks with a lot more to contribute to this world.

Condolences to you and family, know how you feel all too well, lost my second oldest brother when he was 41 while he worked in Kodiak Alaska in 1995 Dec 4th, never got to be there, saw him for the last time at his funeral.
Really sucks not being at a loved ones side at their last day on earth.

THIS I could not say it any better.
It's never easy and never the same. Lost my little bro 14 years ago to a head-on with a cement truck. I think about him often. Just take it one day at a time - it's the best you can do. Godspeed.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my younger brother to cancer 10 years ago come November. He and I had hunted together since we were kids, owned farms together, and I was the "silent partner" in the gun store he had. I can tell you that although you will miss your brother very much, you will always have the memories there.

It’s a terrible thing to lose a brother. Lost mine to lung cancer 17 years ago. It just wore him out, and he was more than ready when the end came. I hope you can find some comfort knowing your brother’s at peace now.
