Sending kindest thoughts

So very sorry Mamma do make that call

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 sorry to hear this Mamma66 my thoughts are with you.

Thinking of you

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 .

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. 🌹

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.

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 this Mamma66. Thinking of you.

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.

Mamma66 I'm so sorry you are going through this. You and your family will be in my thoughts. Please take care of yourself.

So sorry. This terrible news must be such a shock for you all. Thinking of you. The hours of darkness can be so hard - sending hugs and a hand hold. X

Thank you all so much for your support and positive words; it really does help. My wonderful SIL has been a tower of strength for my brother, their children and everyone else who loves him. She has not left his side since Thursday morning. I am so proud and in awe of her. That is the saddest thing; they were literally childhood sweethearts and would have celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary this year. My brother is so loved which is why it is so heartbreaking.

Sending you hugs .
How distressing for you .

My heart goes out to you so sad 💐

So sorry

I’m so sorry, Mamma66.
