Hi lovely ladies, I am hoping you can give me advice on this difficult topic. My husband's brother (my brother in law) is dying, and will be moving into hospice care. He suffers from a lifetime of damage accumulated from a birth defect, so this is both inevitable and a long time coming, but it's also tragic and he is not yet 50 years old. We live on a different continent and so we can't just pop over to see his brother at any time. Communication with the family is somewhat challenging due to the time difference and the fact that their mom is obviously having a hard time with this too. My husband feels somewhat in the dark (for sure) yet doesn't want to impose (I think). Added bonus is that we had planned a visit for late May about six months ago. Husband could certainly change his flight if need be but it's another complication people are worrying about (but honestly I think shouldn't be). I want my husband to be able to see his brother before he can't anymore.
Anyway, I don't really have a ton of specific questions. I haven't had to deal with this situation before, that is, someone close to me losing a loved one (I lost my two grandmothers, but they lived very long and full lives, and it was my own grief process). How do I support my spouse, who is losing his brother, through this? Both emotionally and logistically? I would be very grateful for any advice or wisdom ❤️
This is beautiful
It's how I made it after I was widowed - the best advice I've ever been given. And, it was a woman who shared it with me.
Thank you for passing it on ❤️
