I also lost my beautiful, kind, and caring brother, Dr. Seyedi on June 23, 2018. Your poem just fits perfectly with how I feel and how my brother was.

I found this poem looking for something to read at my brother's funeral. My brother Michael passed away 13 days ago, and this is our story as well. He had a degenerative brain disease that took one month from when we discovered he was sick until we lost him. It is so hard to explain how hard it is for us to lose our loved ones, and this poem is spot on. The hospice he was in had a booklet that helped us to understand that it is a great honor to be with our loved ones as they journey from this earth. As hard as it was to be with him, I am so happy we got to be there. I will try to read this at the service. Thank you for sharing it.

This poem describes our last moments with our younger brother right down to his name. We are a close family and have lost both parents and now our youngest sibling to cancer. Michael was a loud, proud former Marine who loved to sing and dance. To see what this disease did to him over the last 11 months was almost too much to take. His five older siblings, including a twin sister, will do our best to keep his memory alive. We will continue to support cancer research and hope for a day when no family has to repeat the experience you describe in your poem. We love and miss you Michael. We hope you are soaring high once again with your Marine Brothers and all of the family and friends that have gone before you. Peace

Tracey, your poem replicates the experience my sister Anne, my Mum & Dad had with my brother Alec. He passed Dec 27, 2012. He was a single dad with 3 young kids and some weird, rare outrageous cancer took him in 3 months. We were there for his last breath. Being there was the most painful thing I've ever done but also the most important. Today is no anniversary and it has been 13 1/2 months but he is soooo strongly here around me. I miss him so much. Needed to read a poem like yours. Tears now fall. Thank you.

I too lost a dearly beloved brother, I actually lost both of them. Bill in 2006, at 37, and now Tommy, my baby brother, 2013, age 38. I was my baby bro's biggest fan. He was my hero, he suffered for 8 months with not one complaint. He NEVER once ask God why. He never ask why me. He never wanted to give up. All he wanted was for his family to love him and always remember him. He is and always will be loved and missed. Go Rest High On That Mountain Tommy, for your work here on earth is done! Love You!!!

This poem describes the moments that haunt me, every feeling, every detail exactly the same except change the name from Michael to Ryan. The pain sits so deep and the memories of watching the life leave my brother's body takes me off my feet sometimes. Thank you for sharing this poem, it's beautiful.
Love & miss you always Ry, Idk why you had to go so early..
