Showing Original Post only (View all)Oh my God my brother just died. [View all]
We were fighting for 2 years and not talking until my cousin called me and told me he had cancer. 'So I called him and we made up. He even apologized to me for something ..... it doesn't matter. So me and some other cousins were going week after next to have a family reunion. But he all of a sudden took a turn for the worse and died last night
I have no family excerpt cousins and one aunt now. I hate this. I can't begin to tell you how alone I feel.

I am so sorry. My brother died during covid and they never told me he was sick or in hospice.

Yeah. I'm still really angry about it. You couldn't even pick up the phone and tell me he was dying?
