Jan 27, the worst day of my life.........

wrj

New member
It was one of my best friends bday's (Sat Jan26) and we were out drinking (the whole whack of us, about 20 or so guys and gals) when my brother and I came back to my gf's house and drank (I'm off cycle right now) till ten in the morning. He had just gotten back from Austrailia where his gf lives about three weeks ago, anyhow we drank and had awesome conversation all night long, and talked about things very deeply. We were actually in tears at one point talking about how our lives had progressed so much and how we were both so proud of each other. He went to sleep with a huge smile on his face as did I.

I woke around five thirty sunday afternoon and asked my gf to go check on my bro, I couldn't hear him snoring anymore, she went to wake him, and couldn't so she yelled for me. He had no pulse, I administered CPR, without any luck and called the Paramedics immeadiately. They couldn't save him. He was only 24, had one semester left of school before he had his degree in Architecture. He was the best man I knew. Now he's gone. I've lost my only brother, my best friend and my hero.

Some of you guys are like family to me, so I figured I'd let you know. This is the sadest time of my life.

WRJ

His name was Robert Lain, he was a great guy. Please pray for him.

so sorry...

So sorry to hear of your loss bro. Times like these are character defining so try to be strong for your family and for yourself...

my prayers are with you and your bro...
 
This really puts into perspective some of the little flame wars, gripes, and personal vendettas that some Bros have around here.

Let this serve as a lesson to everyone else as to what is REALLY vaulable in life.

My sincere condolences to this Bro and his Family. If there is anything at all about this which is positive, its that at least you had the opportunity to have that great conversation with your brother. Thats a very interesting cooincidence that he would pass away right after that. With as tragic as this is, thank God that at least the last time that you spent with him was one where you got to really share and communicate with him. Thats a good thing.

Regardless of what you belive, He is fine. Whether you believ in an afterlife, Heaven, or Nothing after this life, He is fine. Either in Paradise, Oblivion, or watching ytou hoping that you will cheer up. He is fine. Remember all of the good stuff and good things about him. If he is watching, thats probably what he would want.
 
WRJ, losing your brother so young is terrible. It's great to hear that you were so close, right up to the night he died. You never know when life's going to throw one of these curve balls at you, but the older you get the more you start to expect them. At 24 no one expects something like this to happen, and it's especially hard.

God bless you and your family.
 
I lost my wife three years ago, very young. She was training for a contest and her leg went numb. We figured it was a training injury. I took her into the ER and they told us it was terminal. (Imagine, no symptoms and five weeks to live.) After she died, I got a ton of letters from family and friends. Truthfully, there weren't a lot of words that meant much. The letter that still stands out, though, was from a friend of mine's dad. He had gone through WW2 as a fighter pilot. In a nutshell, pretty much every close friend he had was killed. They died not much older than your brother and some a lot younger. It was hard for him, real hard. He said the thing he learned from it was "...despite our pain, despite our tragedies, the world continues to hold interesting experiences to have and wonderful people to meet."

It's three years later and my life's hardest lesson has been learning that he was right.

God bless your brother.
 
i know you and i had some what of a falling out. but i feel for you bro. i lost my 33 year old brother a few weeks ago too. 2-JAN-02.

this will be one of the hardest things you'll ever deal with, as it was for me.

be happy you have that last conversation with him. i was not that fortunate.

you and your brother are in my thoughts and prayers.

god bless
 
Weird how God does things. Gives you one of the best bonding moments with one of your closest friends and then takes him away from you. Maybe something was wrong with him and the peace given from the conversation allowed him to let go . Too many thoughts, non explain it all. my heart goes out for you and his family and those close to him.
 
Holy crap. That is the sadest story I have heard in a way. There's nothing really anyone can say to make you feel better but I wish the best for you.
 
First I want to offer you my sincere condolences. If you need anything let us know. I do know what it feels like to loose someone close. Had a friend on the way to my house when he was killed in a car crash 1 mile from my place, he was speeding because I told him to hurry, still feel like its my fault at times.

Jeeeezzz!!! So young! I am deeply sorry to hear that my friend! Things like this make all the other probs in life take a back seat and make you really open your eyes and realize how fragile life can be. My thoughts and pryers are with him, you and everyone who has lost a loved one :( If you need to talk about stuff then e-mail, pm or hit me on ICQ anytime

Very sorry for your loss. Thats what were here for, Its good to see everybody come togeather at a time like this. Yenko
 
Damn Bro. It kills me to hear stories like this. Lost my 19 year old brother 4 years ago. He was on his way back to college and fell asleep at the wheel. He had been drinking the night before. Wether he was still drunk or not - It really doesn't matter. The fact is that he is gone.

4 years have gone by and it still hurts today. But you do learn to live with it and you will be thankful for the time that he was here with you. And, I know you probably already realize this but it was a blessing that you got to share your feelings with him the night before.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Wow bro, that is very sad. I know its not much but I offer you my sympathy, and if you need anything I would be more than willing to help. Stay strong bro, I will pray for your brother, and your family. for all that its worth, If you ever feel the need to talk to someone, I am a good listener.
 
Im REALY VERY sorry to hear this... ill put you guys in my prayers tonight.. condolences
 
Thank you everyone for all your warm thoughts, they're comforting. I know he's looking down from where ever he is right now, smiling down on me and helping me get through this. It means alot to me to have so many people share there experiences in losing loved ones, it makes me feel that I'm not alone. That counts.

Thank you so much everyone,
WRJ
 
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss my friend. Keep him and his memory close to your heart and that friendship will never end. Please try to understand that God has a great purpose for him. If you need any help, please let me know.

Sorry to hear that. The loss of a loved one is the worst experience to go thru. Even though he has gone to a better place the time that yall had togather can never be taken from you. Your brother and yourself will be in my prayers.
 
My condolenses

I have never posted on this board before, but I feel your pain and it makes me sad. I have four brothers and six sisters and I hope I'll never have to live through what your going through now. I have lost a best friend though by a hit and run. He got messed up pretty bad. I thought the tears would never stop, but time will heal. I know you probably don't want to hear that, but it will. Don't try to keep it bottled up inside like I did it'll only make things worse, now is the time to mourn. My heart and my prayers go out to you bro.

God bless you bro! I can't imagine the pain you are going through. Your elite family stands behind you with our thoughts and prayers.:angel:
 
May he rest in peace... It's sad to loose a bro, but when he's _your_ bro, it burns you deeply...
My deepest condolences, from a bro who has very few bros...

wrj -

A very tragic event indeed. I am glad that you were able to have some heart to heart moments with him that I"m sure will return to you many times as you go forward - my thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

That is horrible-i couldn't even imagine how to even type something like that,you have my thoughts and prayers to you & your family........ RADAR
 
God, that is really sad.....I'm sitting here stunned, I can't imagine how you feel. The only good thing I can think of to say is that at least you got to have a good talk with him before he died. I'll pray for you and your family bro.

wrj,

I am sorry to hear about your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. I have a younger brother and think of him now as I write this. Dont blame yourself. He would want nothing more than your happiness.

I don't even know what to say except that I'm sorry for your loss and it only gets better from now on. My condolences.

Chris
 
oh my god

anything i can say wont bring him back so i will make this simple...


my prayers are SERIOUSLY with you.... god bless you and your family....

may he rest in peace..
 
Sorry for your loss Bro. My prayers are with you.
If I could offer you one piece of advice from personal experience,
Don't bottle your emotions. You may have to be strong for someone in your family, but make time for yourself to grieve as well.
 
man i also have a brother whom i share the same relationship.....i couldnt even imagine....i am proud that you were able to get up off your feet and share this with us. this teaches a a great lesson; and its to live each day its fullest.

i WILL pray for you.
 
Just read your story and it breaks my heart. Losing a close one is very difficult, I guess, since I've never lost anybody very close and I'm 32. I feel very lucky but it will happen to everybody eventually. I can't say anything except that all my thoughts are with you now. Stay strong.

Andre
 
So sorry to hear this...that's about the worst thing I have heard in a very long time. All my best and prayers for you, your family, and your brother...
 
I'm also so sorry to hear about your brother and I hurt and am praying for you and your family and if you ever need to talk e-mail me anytime. My cousin died 8 months ago he was like my brother because I have none and it hurt me bad and think of him all the time.
 
I'm sorry to here that bro. I can't imagine what that must feel like. I wish I knew something to say that would make you feel better. Take care.
 
My Condolences

WRJ,

I'm very sorry for your loss. Stay strong, and know that he's looking down at you from a better place.
 
I can relate...

My father-in-law passed away on Nov. 15 from Cancer. Me and my wife had been taking care of him. Then my father got a staff infection from a back operation he had and in a days time passed away one month later to the day on Dec 15.
The saddest part is we used to be really close until my stepmother finally came between us. She had always been a bitch to me and my brother, finally I told my father, "I've always blamed her for the way she has always been, but you're my Father. You need to stand up for me and my brother." He chose her over us. So for the last 3 years we haven't had much contact. I was holding his hand when he took his last breath.
Now it's been nearly two months. My stepmother told us, the last thing your father would want is for us to get along. She has also refused to let me or my brother, read, see, or tell us anything about the will. What a bitch!
I feel for you. My prayers go out to you and your family.
 
My sincere condolences to you, your family, and friends close to him. I will keep him in my prayers.
 
wrj...my deep and sincere condolences to you and to those who loved your brother. Sounds like he was a heck of a good guy.

I'm so very very sorry to hear about you lose. Prayers and thought go to your, your family and friends in this most difficult of times.

I'm sorry my friend, my prayers are with you, your brother is with you, just not physically, but he is there, believe that. peace
 
my younger brother and i are close so i can understand what it is like to stay up all night carrying on intimate conversation. I don't know how i'd react if he died. this must be hellish for you.
 
My thoughts are with you and your friend. I lost my best friend in the whole world in 1997. This is somthing you will never get over. You will learn to live with it.

I hate that anyone hat to go thought this. I was your age when this happened. So I know just how you feel. If you need any advice on coping, let me know.

also, he died in a DUI. I have not drank any booze or beer since then.
 
It is hellish but I'm at peace with his death and can understand that everyone must go at some time or another, and this time was his. He was an excellent person, son, big brother, student, worker, friend and will continue to be as my gaurdian angel. Come to think of it he has always acted as my gaurdian angel watching over me. Again, Thank you guys so much, your thoughts and prayers really really count.

Sincerely
WRJ
 
Nothing can be said that will make things any easier for you in your situation. I'm very sorry for your loss, be strong and in time you will be ok again. I hope your brother is happy in heaven.
 
My sincerest condolences...

As you said, this is a part of a cycle that we have little control over, but I believe that there is a higher purpose to this tragedy, even if we can't understand it.

I wish the best for you and all of your family.
 
I know we're all saying the same thing, but my prayers are with you and your family, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you bro-peace---g-dogg
