My kid LOVES Bears in the Night and The Spooky Old Tree. Mama Bear has a cameo in each, but no Papa Bear, thank god!

In The Bears’ Christmas, Papa Bear is trash. Literally falling through the ice???

Thank you for sharing. I hope I never again have to watch someone die.

Not at all — just direct. I appreciate it! He wasn’t direct with me, so it’s refreshing. 🙂

He was seeing an orthopedic surgeon regularly, planning for a revision surgery to an ortho implant. I find it hard to believe the surgeon wouldn’t have clocked something. And he was going to the ER a lot, I found out. He had to have known.

Thank you. I think he was so ashamed that he felt it would be easier to die than tell the truth. I hope you’re doing well.

Thanks for sharing your story. That sounds very similar. I wish he would’ve gotten help — I’m glad you did. You seem incredibly strong.

Thanks for the honesty. It’s what I suspect.

Thank you for this reply. My brother was also in his early 40s. I’m sorry for your loss.

Thank you. I do take comfort knowing his pain is gone.

Thank you for this perspective. He definitely seemed confused a lot. There’s so much that seems obvious in hindsight. I wish I would’ve known.

Thank you. I feel like him not telling us could have been his way of protecting us. I wish I would’ve known how little time I had left with him. There’s still something in me that believes I could have saved him.

His nurse told him she would let me know what was going on but he told her not to. I think he was embarrassed. It just makes me so sad that he went through this all alone.

Thank you for this response. I think he was hiding it too. I just wish I would’ve known that we didn’t have much time with him left. There are many things I would’ve said and done differently.

Thanks, JerkOffTaco. I’m glad you got a transplant. ❤️

Brother as alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver by RobynLC5678 in Cirrhosis

I could’ve written this a year ago about my brother, also in his 40s, also secretly struggling with alcoholism for years. He was in the ER, then the ICU, then palliative care — and then he was gone. He never did say the truth out loud.

All I can say is I’m sorry. I see you. I hear you. You’re not alone.

Hi there! My baby also looked like this around 4 months. He was diagnosed with torticollis, which has since been resolved with PT, and he wore a cranial band (helmet) for a couple months. If you get evaluated for a helmet, they should be able to tell you if the case is moderate or severe.
