It has been a very tough week! My brother went into the hospital yesterday. He is 1700 miles away. I talked to him yesterday but could not get a hold of him today so I called the hospital direct instead of his cell. Turns out he was in surgery. Doctor called just a few minutes later and informed me I needed to make the decision to pull the plug. He had no pulse and was not breathing on his own. They asked me because, unbeknownst to me, he made me power of attorney. I told them to remove machines. I was told he died quietly a few minutes later. I called his estranged son and asked him to take over arrangements. His estranged wife called and screamed and screamed at me. I did what he would have wanted me to do and that I would want done for me. Talk about heartbreak?
