calex, I’m sorry, so very sorry. I have an older brother who I adore, too...and I’ve always said losing him will be probably The Hardest Thing I’ll ever have to do.

Someone upthread said that maybe it’s now time to reverse the roles and YOU take care of HIM as he taught you all those years. Make him laugh, in spite of this. Talk about “the old days”....it’ll be good for both of you.

I’ve pinged Logan’s and trussell’s ping list, we’ll be praying for all of you.

He has always been there for me

And now you are there for him, as I am sure he knew you would be. I will pray.

These thoughts toward you and yours will give but a moment of comfort. In the end, you will be doing what I just did. Send a note to the next person under the same circumstances. That will sustain the comfort.

Big-brother bump.

I am so very, very sorry. Brothers are special. I will pray for a miracle and if that is not to be...then I will pray your many memories of your times together and all the times he “saved” you will be what brings you comfort and peace. I wish I could change this for you... but... I CAN pray and will for him this evening.

Prayers for your family. A friend of my dad was diagnosed a couple of years ago. They have a big fundraiser race every year, this weekend, I think. My parents participated and said it was truly inspirational.

Tough disease.

Prayers offered. As Churchill once said, “Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never quit!”

Just said my meager prayers for him,,,,,,,,,,,,............

You will find help here for your brother Glenn. Go to the Community tag where you can type in the state where he lives and see what assistance may be available for him there. There are wonderful, caring people who are eager to help. The support in the Philadelphia area was amazing for a friend who had ALS. We will add him to our prayer list and pray for both of you every day. You are not alone.
