So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my brother about 3.5 years ago and the loss and intense grief did affect the MG. The way I figure it, there's no way to have a piece of YOU removed without affecting everything.

That being said, there's nothing to be done but grieve as you need to grieve. Certainly try and manage the symptoms as best you can and treat your body in general with extra care by eating the best diet you can manage and try and not stress over little things in your life. Prioritize and rest when you can.

Again, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. In my experience, I found the first year after my brother's loss to be so painful I could barely breathe sometimes (figuratively speaking here.) Passing time has brought acceptance and now when I think back on him it is with more fondness and happy memories and not so much the intense feelings of loss.

Hugs,

Missy
