My Nephew died. He was only 28

This was heartbreaking to read. I'm so sorry for your sister, you and your entire family and all those that cared about this young man. I'm devasted to hear he was bullied.

People like him deserve a hand up from society. He should have qualified for a low income apartment. Had a social worker helping him to find suitable jobs. And aren't there organizations that only employ those with disabilities? Seems like we as a people fail people who need help. Again, I'm so sorry.
 
Sincere thanks, everyone.

I've been talking to Bonnie every morning and evening. She's still very emotional of course, but talking is helping right now, and her other sons will be there at her place sometime today.

Thank you Dog and Kat.

Michelle and I attended his funeral today. My sister held it together pretty well under the circumstances. Her 2 older sons were with her, which helped immensely. It was sure good seeing them. One lives and works in the bay area, the other is a stand-up comic who does computer programming by day in Los Angeles, so it's been a few years since I've seen them.
 
@ Murrmurr
Deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your nephew.
My sincere prayers and thoughts go out to you, and all the family, during this very heartbreaking time.
He will certainly be missed greatly.
He knew it was his time for peace, and he gave himself that gift.
May he REST in PEACE.
 
I hope your sister is holding up, as grief can often go on and on. So good that she has you for support. I'm sure you are hurting too, and exactly how to best help others can vary from person to person. Having the forum seems to help when the house gets too quiet at night. Maybe for you too.

Bonnie's coming over today. Said she has some stuff from her garden for us, but I think she mainly needs the distraction. Michelle went to get some groceries so we can all cook together, and use some of the tomatoes, onions and herbs she's bringing.
