I saw the world through his eyes today and my heart simply shattered. I know why he endures the pain. He’s trying to protect me. I catch when he falls. I try to have normal conversations when I see tears run down his face because the pain is so intense. My tiger of a brother is hanging on just for me. I said the words I thought he had to hear and he yelled “Liar”.
He finally said,” The day that I pass away you will die of a broken heart. You will just stop and I know it.”
There are no words that I can say to comfort him. I can’t help with his pain. I can’t do anything to please him. He is miserable and I am standing in his way to happiness or at least peace. There are no right answers and no one wants to hear it and no one wants to talk about it.
I saw the world through his eyes and I can give him no hope. I have failed.
The only thing you can do is keep giving him plenty of love and the best vibes and I will keep him in my prayers. Blessings to you both.
Its hard to go through this but he knows you care and love him and you have been there for him…..I agree with La Jenna here…..
I always think that one who passes away is happier than one who stays with a broken heart without any hope. Stay strong. My hugs to you both.
There is always ups and down in life , one should be hopeless,
Well then I am right where I should be hopeless.
Oh sorry , I mean to say one should not be hopeless,
I will add you to my prayer list. I know that it is difficult for both of you. Trust in God. God didn’t cause the pain, but God can make tremendous good come from it. It is hard when we can’t see anything good about it and may never do so, but here is a tremendous thought; if your brother has accepted God in his life, he’s already won, no matter what the outcome is.
I wish I were so faithful and brave.
It takes time and effort. It isn’t something that comes naturally.
Praying will help you both. Pray with him, and let him know you feel at peace with God’s plan, but pray for completely healing with him. If he heals on earth praise God, if God takes him you can feel at peace as well. I prayed for you both.
I know I should, I just don’t know how.
