Just that really....he's my half brother ( mothers side...dm died 9yrs ago)
Was sadly onlygiven 6-9 months to live back in April( has mets in liver and lungs) and had been coping reasonably well at that point...going out and seeing friends- I even managed to visit him in May with my ds and dd. Have been in contact via messenger as he doesn't do phone calls as has tinnitus
However I live 7 hrs away so not easy to just pop round to visit, but was planning to visit Ds at Uni next weekend which is only 45 mins from where dB lives and had hope we could visit
Also, My eldest dd has been abroad for a year and is home on holiday for a fortnight so is also coming up to see her dB at uni and is now devastated that she won't see her uncle again
DB has a daughter who has been visiting her dad regularly until a fortnight ago when he found he was really struggling with socialising and didn't want to see anyone
I totally empathise with my brother but I'm just not sure what to do...he's not replied to my messages, it's like he's withdrawing and as he lives on his own , I'm worried he's not getting the support he could from Hospice at home / Macmillan
He's my big brother and I'm desperately sad I'm not going to see him again
