This place gives me solace. My brother has a smith and wesson sign above his door. I code. Keyboards give me peace. I can not visit his bed since he is a thousand miles away. My tears flow.
Prayers of comfort you and your bro.
Very sorry to hear about your situation. Prayers for you and yours.
Ahh, the not being able to be with him is a big part of your sadness. Been there done that. It makes it even more excruciating, I know you wish to be able to say goodbye in person. This isn’t a great solution, but maybe you could phone whoever is near him, and they could hold the phone up to him? He will likely still be able to hear even in his last breaths. Or maybe you could record a message? My heart goes out to you.
Go.
Be with him.
If at all possible.
Find some way to get there for him, even if you have to sell or pawn stuff to get the money.
Can you travel, to be with him?
Prayers.
