My heart is breaking…

BlueBelle

So sorry to hear this Mamma but please, please don’t discount talking to him on the phone
We have no idea what people can hear in those last moments nor do the doctors, they may medically believe he can’t hear but we just don’t know, and it’s a last connections, no matter what you have been told
Tell him how much you love him and tell him to be at peace and that all will be well and you ll all look after each other
Please do it the hearing is the last sense to go what harm can it do xx

I so agree with BlueBelle’s post. I said goodbye to a dear friend via telephone shortly before he passed. I’m sure he could hear me and I felt so comforted by being able to thank him for all the lovely memories we made together. Take care.

So sorry to hear this Mamma66. Thinking of you.

Hearing is the last sense to go so it would be worth having someone hold a phone to his ear while you say goodbye. You would feel better too.

So sorry to hear what you are struggling with Mamma66. Of course your heart is broken. But also your heart knows how to love unconditionally and your brother will keep that love with him and know he is loved by many. That is a blessing.

Oh Mamma66 how I feel for you. My big brother, aged 67, died while I was in Israel and I couldn't get home to him. My ex-husband chose to sit with him for which I'll be eternally grateful. I agree that he may hear you as I experienced that when my dad was dying. So sorry. 🌹

Mamma please get someone to hold the phone and talk to your brother . When my husband was unconscious as he was dieing our nurse had told me even unconscious people can still hear. So talk to him as I know it's true . When my husband was dieing and struggling to breath even on full oxygen . I was lying on our bed but the side of him . I looked at the children and told me husband to stop fighting we would be ok he must have heard me as he died within a few minutes . I know he was waiting for me to let him go . It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do .

So please talk to your brother get someone to hold the phone by his ear and tell him everything you want . Even funny things about growing up together he will hear . Do it now if someone is with him . Don't wait .

Thinking of you

So sorry to hear this Mamma66 my thoughts are with you.

So sorry for you Mamma66. Please take care of yourself and try to hang on to the good memories.
Have you considered the phone call? It may help you as well as your brother.

So very sorry Mamma do make that call

Sending kindest thoughts

Heartbreaking for you Mamma I’m so sorry. x

I am so very sorry to hear the devastating news , I have. two siblings and can't bear the thought of being without them .
If you can make that call he may be able to hear you and it may help you too. However don't ever feel guilty if you are unable to do that - for whatever reason. Your brother is very loved and from what you 'say' is not in distress. I send you and your family strength and ((( hugs ))). GN is here for you and will here to offer you support. 💐💐

Thinking of you at this terribly sad and difficult time

What a terrible shock. My thoughts and sympathy are with you at this difficult time.

So sorry. Such an awful shock for you. Speak to your brother and look after yourself at this emotionally raw time.

Very, very sorry to hear of your sad news.

So sorry to hear this. Please do try to speak to your brother as others have suggested.I am sur it would help you too. Look after yourself. ~Thinking of you.

I lost my husband 20 months ago. Same thing. He was 56

Call him. He will know x

It’s far too young, and so dreadfully sad. I’m so sorry. Please do try to speak on the phone, I think it may comfort you to know you tried, and just perhaps, it may comfort your dear brother too.

So so sorry. This is so hard. I agree with everyone else. If he is still with you please send a voice message in whatsapp. I did this for my own DD during covid and it has helped me to know that i sent that final note of love and thanks. Please let us know what happens xxxx

So sorry to read this - and if it isn't too impertinent to again say what others have said - please do talk to him over a phone. My dear uncle hovered close to death for several days, and then recovered; he had heard, and repeated to us, most of what was being said around him.

I am so sorry Mamma. I lost my younger brother last week and the thought of not having him in my life breaks my heart.

Whatever you do or don’t do, I’m sure he knows how much you love him.

Take care of yourself.

As others have confirmed, hearing is the last sense to go. I was with my Mum in her final moments and said, what I hope, were words of comfort to her. She passed away very soon after I spoke. My late brother also died suddenly at a young age, 59. It's always hard to bear.
