Sudden death of my brother, 2 months after my father died of pancreatic cancer

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

58. In case anyone sees this, I checked in here, but then realized it's not a good idea at the moment.

I actually just woke up after finally getting to sleep at 2pm. (Woo-hoo, over five hours is amazing for me!) After the initial breakdown when the sad facts dawned on me anew, I decided to allow myself a few hours of denial. Try to distract myself and get something done.

However, when I started to tend to some online financial business, I began procrastinating by stopping by DU. Just a quick check in case there was any big political news I need to know. Then, I saw there were some new replies to the above OP. As I began reading them, I soon realized I'd be better off getting back to my planned period of denial.

But I do want to quickly thank everyone who has offered messages of condolences, concern, and kindness. I appreciate them all.

And if I do end up deleting my OP, please don't be offended. For one thing, I'm paranoid about any of my relatives seeing it, though it's unlikely they would.

Anyway...
