My condolences chipwich, and to grumbler as well.  It's tough losing family :(
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Terrible news.  My condolences to you and the rest of your family. :(

Chip, take comfort in the fact that your brother accomplished more good in his short life than most people ever would with all the time they're given.

Good advice.  Chip, the term "legacy" gets bandied about way more than it needs to be nowadays, but your brother definitely sounds like he's forged one to stick around after him.

Very much this.

I'm very sorry, chip. :(

I am so sorry to hear this.  I lost my younger brother (for reasons not entirely clear even seven months later) earlier this year, and still can't get out of the habit of thinking "wait until I tell Brian about this!" I dealt with the loss of a parent better than I can deal with the loss of a sibling.  Condolences, man.  :(
That's horrible, Grumbler.  How could it not be certain?

Also, very sorry to hear that Chip.
