Orsys Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My big brother passed away at noon today. I'm stuck at a conference in Chicago which was fun until I got the call.This morning, before I got the news, I was watching a keynote speaker, Erik Wahl, graffiti artist. I was so inspired by this guy - to live today, think outside the box and do what you love. He made me want to go home and pull my paints out and use the right side of my brain for a while.Then I walked out of the presentation and got the call about my brother.Life is a fleeting thing. Like he always said to me, if not now, when? So enjoy today!My big brother died today and he was an amazing guy. He had a heart of gold and loved everyone. And I just want everyone to know that about him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Glad you're able to see his passing as an impetus to make the most of the time that's been given to you, Orsys. Thoughts with you, I'm sure you're in the best frame of mind you can be, given the circumstances. Not many recently bereaved are fortunate enough to have such a sense of clarity... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdriftatSea Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Orsys, I'm so very sorry to hear about your brother. I just can't imagine how difficult it must be to lose a sibling. My thoughts are with you. You are such a lovely person to start a thread about him leading out with, "Enjoy today!" What an honor to your brother and it says a lot about you as a person. I hope in the coming days you will find comfort and solace in your memories and love for him.

Gracii Guns Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Orsys, really sorry to hear about the sad news. You have a strong family and are one of the toughest women here, so I'm sure you'll manage. You'll be in my prayers. I am going to take your advice and enjoy my day. I'm waiting on feedback from a job interview, where there's a 66% chance I won't get it. Once I get the news, I'll try my best to be thankful for the job I already have and do something fun anyway. Much love. x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhead74 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm so sorry for your loss, Orsys. I can't imagine what you're going through now, especially taking into account all that you've been through in the last 6-12 months. Your attitude is a testament to your strength of character. I think you're amazing. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed myself over the last couple of months but your post has put a few things into perspective for me. There are some things in life genuinely worth worrying about and some things that are just pointless, we have to remind ourselves of that every day or we end up dragged down by meaningless shit. Or dragged down by assholes. One thing I know is that no one should steal your joy! Love to you Orsys, you're such a babe. xo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefeet Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My condolences to you and your family.If you are up for it, maybe do a tribute painting for your brother? I personally find that dealing with loss can also be an outlet for anything creative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I am really sorry to hear that Orsys. My thoughts are with you and you family. It must be so devestating to lose a sibling and ofcourse a son.

uncivil war Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I had just spent the afternoon catching up with my two brothers, who I don't see often, when I read your post. It made that time with them seem more special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love&hates Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Orsys, in times like this i say theres nothing a person can say that will ease the pain ... i used to say that and i confirmed it when i lost my grandmother last year. People kept saying " you need to be strong now , she would want you to try and be happy"...."shes up there in the sky with god watching over you". I tried to listen and respect their words , because they were only trying to help but my mind was going "that is all very pretty and all , but doesnt bring her back" .Time does help , i miss her everyday but now i got to a place where im trying to live the best i can ...when i get a bit down i try to remenber what my grandmother would want for me . Be happy , enjoy life . So yes , thats a lesson im also trying to learn...not sure im quite there yet , but im trying.I wish you keep on being strong , and im sorry for your lost , if i could i would hug you ...a hug is better than words at times like these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
