Yesterday, I found out that my older brother died in the autumn just gone, apparently of a major asthma attack. The family splintered several times a few years ago and my brother had already distanced himself from the family when the event happened. Everyone is in the dark as to what actually happened. It's shocking news. I'm not sure what's going to happen with my mother now, as the relationship between us has been strained to breaking point.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Lozza. Were you and your brother close at all?

Thanks everyone. Still quite shaken up by it all, but am busy trying to get on with things.

Were you and your brother close at all?

More when we were younger.

Wow. Lozza.

Did you have regular contact with him?

Thanks again.

No, unfortunately, he took off abroad some years back, then returned to the country, keeping his whereabouts a secret for reasons that are not yet quite clear. My other brother only found out after doing a random google search.

Best of luck dealing with all this. Unexpected deaths are much more complicated than just the sorrow, as you probably already know. And the circumstances you have here are indeed probably pulling you in many directions.

Peace and lots of energy to you, and may your brother rest in peace.

Oh Lozza, so very sorry to hear - what a shock, to find out like that, after the fact.

Yes, I can understand that this might further strain family relationships...

I've said this before on these forums: words are really cheap when it comes to a situation like this, and I know these feeble words aren't even a band aid on the pain you must feel. Nevertheless, you have my sympathy and compassion.

Peace be with you,

Thanks very much.

UPDATE

I'm meeting my mother this coming Friday, first time in about nine months. I haven't a clue how it will all pan out and am pretty nervous about the meeting.

Also, found out that at one point, my brother was actually living only a few miles away from me.

That would be hard, finding out that your brother had been so near by...

Good luck with the meeting this Friday!
