My Brother Andy was found dead tonight.

HUGS to you & prayers for your comfort… I hope you find some closure soon

I’m not sure if you are threadshitting or just tone deaf. Either way I agree with the need for some tact. You are new here so I suggest you look over the rules and registration agreement including the number one rule, don’t be a jerk.
No warning issued.

I missed this the first few bumps - I am so sorry.

Really sorry for your loss.

No news on the cause.

My sister & her friends have arranged a memorial in a hotel, locally.
My brother was not religious.
But yes, a hotel seems odd.

Sorry for your loss, Bosda.

Yesterday, we had the memorial.

It was organized by my brother’s friends from the various science fiction conventions he attended, & his pub-crawling pals.
We got up in turn, and told stories about Andy.
I spoke of his early childhood, and his introduction to fandom.

Andy died of a heart attack, after a lifetime of heavy smoking.
He was 46.

Goodbye, Baby Brother. I loved you, and will miss you until I die.

I had to stop, to cry for about 5 minutes.
I can go on, now.

I haven’t lost a sibling yet, I’m the oldest though.

I’m sorry for your loss. The memorial sounds like it was interesting. I don’t blame you for stopping to cry, that stuff can be overwhelming.

Keep bending our ears here as needed, talking can help. Take care of yourself too.

I’m so sorry.

:vibes

It sounds like a memorial he might have enjoyed. I hope it brought you and others solace.

Thinking good thoughts.

What do we say? It’s incomprehensible. Sorry, bro.
