hello

I lost my brother 5 years ago to lung cancer. When i was with him on his last day in hospital, a young nurse came in to change something over, and said that she knew he was afraid of dying. at the time i was very stressed out, but over the years it stuck with me. having no knowledge then of the process of death, i didn't realise that hearing was the last thing to go. i now worry that he heard this. i didn't speak much too, wish i had. i just held his hand. 

i am not sure what i'm asking for here. just full of 'what ifs' 

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm very sorry for the loss of your brother and it's quite normal to have a lot of 'what if's' floating around.

    Could I suggest that you join the very supportive bereaved family and friends group where you can share your feelings and give and receive support.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
