amyth, I am so, so sorry to hear all of this. Much strength to you and your SIL and family.
And I will HAPPILY thwap your middle brother with a large skillet for you. Major compassion FAIL.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's a wonderful thing, amyth. ETA: That she has family everywhere, engaged and willing to support. So many vibes for you and her and the nephew for strength and courage.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And tell your middle brother, "If you can't be upset when your husband is in a coma and almost certainly dying, when can you be?"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, man. {{{{{amyth}}}}} I'm glad to see an update from you, but I'm so sorry the news is so bleak.
Kate said this beautifully.
I am really glad she has family that is close in terms of miles and in terms of emotions. Really, that is so helpful during times like this.
My thoughts are with them and with you, my dear. And I am really glad you are posting, even with sad news.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Wishing you and your family strength, amyth.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Tel Aviv city council member just emailed me about Hollaback Israel, asking to meet with me and talk about how to make the streets of Tel Aviv-Yafo safer to women. With laws and whatnot.
This is excellent. It's great to feel you're making a difference.
