since the news of my brothers illness. People tell me I need to get out and have some fun to take my mind off things but all I do is go to work, eat and sleep. I just think about him all the time and can't seem to focus on anything else. I almost feel guilty if I catch myself joking around with the guys at work or doing anything fun at all. I know if I go to the games I will just bum all my friends out and I don't want to do that. Waited for ever for the tournament to come back to Buffalo and now I don't even care.
Illness effects an entire family not just a single person. With that being said, the last thing your brother needs while battling this is everyone around him with a doom and gloom attitude. Stay up beat, be positive when you talk to him etc (it will rub off on him). Alot can be done with a little will power.
it was tough a couple years ago when my grandmother passed away. she was a part of all our lives, but we did find comfort in knowing that we were able to be there with her until the end, there was not a minute she was along during the last couple weeks. i guess maybe the comfort was in knowing that she knew we were there for her?
