Hi ,iam so sorry for the lost of your brother and in such an awful way, it’s so hard to try and understand how they must have felt at the end, think it’s the not knowing that is hard, my brother passed away suddenly he was on his own and wasn’t found for a couple of days, I can’t help but wonder how he must have felt being alone, it certainly plays on your mind. I hope you can find some comfort in this group and know that you are not alone take care
Thankyou for replying sorry to hear your brother was alone it’s so hard to not think how they must have felt . I’ve just shut my door & stayed in for week going to try going out tomorrow thank you
