Since I shared a few days ago that I have not been active here as I dealt with the imminent death of my brother, I thought I'd share now – at the risk of too much sharing – that my brother died this morning.

I'm so sorry. I lost my sister just before Christmas last year.

@wdlindsy I’m sorry for your loss.

@wdlindsy You've written loving and moving words; readers will remember your words and your brother. I also am glad you arrived in time to see and be seen. I am certain each family member's love added emotional strength to all gathered, and your brother would have known this loving collection of family members would continue to share the consoling strength of love in thoughts of one another, a virtual hug of emotional thought. I can offer my thoughts to the mental group-hug.
