Aug. 4th, 2006 01:18 pmYesterday, my sister made the decision, with the support of Brian's parents, to remove the breathing machine. As his father said, he's been gone from us since Monday. He's not there anymore.
I don't know when the funeral is going to be. Since he was only 33, and it was a seizure-related situation the law requires an autopsy, and it could take five "business" days. Jewish law requires burial to happen quickly, but we're not going to push the county for speed.
So I'm heading home to my kids on Saturday. I've barely seen the boys in ten days now, because the week after Alaska they were in San Diego with my in-laws, and I miss them viscerally and desperately. Aaron will come back for the funeral and I may join him. Not sure yet. If not I'll come back later in August.
Thanks so much to everyone who's commented, emailed, called, etc. this week. It's been my respite and relief and the recommendations on books on grief will be sustaining.
