My younger brother passed away yesterday…..

My older brother was getting married yesterday. Everyone was busy and excited. No one had heard from S by lunch time. Thought he had slept in. He works such long hours. Drinks a bit too much before bed. So nothing out of the ordinary… We found him on the floor. He was only 35.
Life’s not fair.
We don’t know what happened, we’re waiting on the coroner’s report.
We didn’t know his partner. They have a weird relationship. But someone needs to tell his kids. Their 6 and 7. They need to be told. My other niece posted the news on Facebook in hopes of finding S’s partner. Now all rest of the family know and it’s too much for my parents. Nobody wants to outlive their own kid. This sucks. I haven’t had time myself to grieve… I just needed to get this off my chest without people relying on me or wanting to talk…

I'm so extremely sorry 😔

I want to saw something that'll make you feel better, but there is absolutely nothing that can (at least that I know of).

Be well man, and remember, to take care of others, you first need to take care of yourself! Which is why airlines say put your mask on first before helping someone else with theirs.

To best help others, you might need to take care of yourself first, before worrying or stressing out too much about others.

Exercising, sleeping and verbally talking out loud (even if just to yourself or to a pet or something) are great ways to help one's brain with mental stress.

I wish I could help more, be well man 🤗
