    Sorry to hear about your brother. This will be the first Christmas without my mother. I hope reaching out to people here will help.

    So sorry for both your losses. My dad passed in November of 2017, cancer. My youngest brother, 52, died early December 2018 from cancer and alcohol poisoning. While neither were totally unexpected, I thought we would have more time. Dad had about 2 months from his diagnosis until his passing. My brother had been through treatment many times for alcohol, and was being treated for cancer for about 2 years. The pain comes in waves, I hope you both are healing, peace.
