It's over.

[zrath]

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.

*hug* This is agoing to be a tough time for you for awhile. If you need to talk, even if it's only in your blog, we're all ears.
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).

And it's never easy, either. Not something I think I can fully bring myself to write in a blog response, but I'll send you an email very soon. I am sorry for your loss.

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.
