Prayers for you and his family. It is difficult to lose a sibling, no matter how. I lost my baby sister in 2000, so I have some idea. RIP for your troubled brother--troubled no more.

Glad you shared Pete. We all have our flaws. But being loved is what matters. Seemed like a good man.

What a wonderful tribute to your brother. Very happy to hear you both spent the last 5 years “together “ and not fighting but truly enjoying one another.

A respectful tribute. Your brother’s struggles are over and I firmly believe he’s with his loving maker. I remind myself of that about our son. It eases painful thoughts. Perhaps it will for you too.

"Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
