It's over.
He's gone.
EDIT: DJ Pascal, my brother, passed away at 3am.
I'm told he was asleep at the time.
I found out when I woke up at 10am and checked my cellphone.
He had been in treatment for over 2 years for cancer.
It started in the breast, then fled to the spine.
The Sibling had been in the hospital for the past 3 weeks.
I had just transferred him to a convalescent home yesterday because we hated that hospital so much.
His wish was to be cremated and to have his ashes spread out at sea.
It will be done.
I'm accepting donations to help pay for this.
Contact me at zrath at toast dot net for information.
There will be a memorial service, time and date to be announced later.
I will try for a Saturday, and it will be somewhere in Los Angeles.
Anyone who wants to come is invited.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

Beyond words of condolence, is there anything I can do to help you right now?

No, I was not.
I left the convalescent home at 10pm and rode the bus home.
Apparently, it happened at 4am, while I was asleep.
I had turned off my cellphone ringer to get some recuperative sleep after the turmoil of the last few days.
I was not expecting this, this soon.

He did not want to die at the USC hospital, and he didn't. You did everything you could for him.

I am so sorry :(
Rest in peace, Pascal. May your next life be full and wonderful and with as many wonderful, caring friends as you had in this one.

You got him out of USC before the end though, which he'd wanted. Condolences don't seem enough but... if you need anything, let me know. You have my number still, yes?

I know there's not really anything I can say at the moment that will be of any help, but still, my condolances to you and the obviously good friends that DJ Pascal had. Even tho you weren't there with him, you were still there for him up till the very end. You still have my number if you need someone to talk to.

You have a big heart, and the big hearts carry things like this a lot more heavily. So let your friends help with that weight whenever you need to.

Well, we would hae to have eyes, too, of course, and fingers to type on the keyboards, but... Well, you know what I mean (I hope).

It is never easy, especially when you are close to a person, sibling or otherwise, when they are there one minute and gone the next, suddenly, and unexpectedly. Most anything I say on the point will sound idiotic. My mother and grandmother both lingered on and went through much pain and suffering before they died. Pascal was spared that. I know it's only a small consolation, and it's not an burden on you; but for what it's worth, you have my condolences.
*hugssssssssssssssssssssssss*

Astrid Alauda said, "There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother."
And from your entries on your journal, those words are very much true.
If you need anything, just let me know.
