I've tried a few times to write this entry but the words just weren't coming. I don't know how to put these feelings into some sort of understandable text. I don't understand any of it. I'm even finding it hard to reply to people's posts in TDS.
Yesterday morning my mom called to tell me that a neighbor found my oldest brother dead in his trailer. He died sometime between Thursday (01/13/11) afternoon and Saturday morning. We don't know the cause.
He suffered his whole life but these last few years were the hardest. He got to the point where he was unable to take care of himself. He had physical problems in addition to his alcohol and drug addictions. He was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 14.
I learned last night that it was not a self-inflicted gun wound. This was my greatest fear.
My parents left for Tennessee from Pennsylvania this morning to assess what needs to be done. I suspect they will be shocked with his living conditions due to his addiction.
My other brother and I will be going down to pack his personal belongings and bring them back home.
I really don't know what else to say
