My brother, Michael, lives in Destin, Florida (with his wife) and has been a legal resident in the States for over twenty-five years. He's 55 and he's really been through the ringer for the past eighteen months.
Today, they sent him home to die. I just got off the phone with him (he called as soon as he arrived back home), and the docs there said that he could die 'at any moment.'
He's on the list for a liver transplant (he has Hepatitis C) but no one knows if he'll get one in time; it's not looking likely.
He's the color of a dandelion and can barely eat or drink.
If you pray, would you please pray for my brother? I love him very much.

I will pray for your brother. Destin is a beautiful area of Florida and no one should be suffering as spring starts along the Gulf. I wish I could tell you I understand, but I don't. But I do feel your pain. God bless you both.

good luck.
The passing can be a special event if you so choose.

Thank you, but I choose to believe that GOD can and will heal Michael, if HE so chooses. Conversely, if GOD chooses to take him home, I'll accept that. I'm not great at loss and there's been a lot of it in my family, so I need to focus on what's possible in the here and now.
I don't believe in luck, but your good wishes and/or your prayers are appreciated.

My condolences. Yes of course I will pray for him. Most of us have lost loved ones, but it is particularly bitter when they're not particularly old. My grandparents all died over age 80. That wasn't so hard. My dear friend who was like a second mother to me died of a sudden heart attack at 52. It was her first and last heart attack, so it came as a complete shock. I don't know if I've ever completely gotten over it. It isn't because I have doubts about her happiness and state in the next life. There are no doubts. She's beyond belief happier. And I'm not bitter about it. But my wife and children will never know her -- and I had always imagined she would be a big part of all of our lives. It is her unexpected absence that makes it all so hard.
I'm praying that your brother gets a liver transplant. That's tough though. Never enough donors and I believe they have to find a good genetic match as well. It's in God's hands at this point. Death is just a doorway we all must pass through to exit this lost, sad and fallen world. Beyond that door is happiness beyond imagining. Some of us go through the door sooner than others, but this life is not our natural state. We are eternal and heaven is our true home.

Yes, the door out of this life is the door into the next. I've buried three children, a brother, both my parents, and too many friends, but my brother has had a hard life, and, selfishly enough, I'm praying for a miracle for him too, as I don't want to lose him.
I'm so sorry about your surrogate mom; death is always unbelievable to us because we were not created to die, so it's always a shock when it happens - even when we do know it's coming.
Loss is part of everybody's journey, but Michael's not dead yet and I'm not ready to lose him. I couldn't care less about material possessions, but I'm lousy at losing people I love.
May God bless and be with you, brother.
Mahrie.
