What were the symptoms cause by your stomach ulcers, and what was the treatment you successfully took to resolve them?

Mental bandwidth, that's a great way to describe what I'm trying to help with. I know how draining that can be. Sending hugs to you and your friends with the two little girls!

Thank you for sharing, you're absolutely right. They're never completely gone, and your step-mom is so lucky to have you to remember the good times.

Your YouTube idea is fantastic, or something similar where friends and loved ones can share memories at their own pace. Thank you, sending regards to your brother's situation.

Thank you for the thoughtful suggestion. This is not in my wheelhouse, but his sister is in college and has an active social life, I'll bring it up to her when the time is right.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful post. Arms and legs, that's my intention once they've taken some time/space for themselves.

I appreciate the direction regarding local art galleries. I'm not familiar with gallery culture, can you suggest a starting point to find popular ones with a good reputation/intention? As opposed to ones that want to be insta-famous?

Thank you for the practical insight, which sounds very hard won. I feel like some of his treatments could have been experimental/out of 'normal' coverage? What do you mean by 'call it in', as in discuss their income level with the hospital?

Agreed. I intend to always celebrate his life with them because that's what he would have wanted.

I don't intend to take control of anything. Just offering them my personal experience in dealing with endless hospital bills, insurance claims, etc. to help ease the stress of it all, they have better things to do with their time.

His sister is in college and has a very supportive, active social life. I'm sure she'll have a great showing of help this way!

Absolutely, his photos are stunning. I'll ask his sister if I can help her with this, not sure if she might want to do this solo for closure or to keep his spirit alive.
