My brother Pierson passed away peacefully this morning at his home. We were all there by his side last night. I spent the night at his home last night because he had become increasingly weak and the hospice nurse said that she could not detect a noticeable pulse. He was a little incoherent but managed to look at me and say "I don't want any of this", when the hospice nurse was putting a catherer in him and putting him in a bed that they had brought in. He told her "go away and leave me alone". I feel terrible about letting her do it anyway but she said he could not urinate on his on and didnt want him to be in any pain. He unbelievably did not have hardly any pain with his cancer. His whole liver and body was eaten up with it and I think in the end he may have take a total of 4 loritabs...he never was in the pain that we expected...that was a blessing. Thank you all for your prayers, you don't know what a God send this board and you all are...sherryg683

Sherry, I am sorry to hear of your brother's passing, but I'm glad he wasn't in very much pain. I took a long hike along the river yesterday, and I thought of you and Pierson. I know this is a difficult time for you and your family, but try to take comfort in the fact that he is in a better place, free from pain and worry, and telling all of his new friends what an awesome sister he has. Love and peace, Bill

If I remember correctly, Bill said earlier how he and your brother shared a love of fishing. He said he would "catch and release" fish and think of Pierson. That just sounds right.
