Thursday and Friday were shock days. Yesterday the reality of this hit hard and it's hitting hard this morning. He was afraid to die. My sister tried to play on his fears. I hear she posted something somewhere on facebook yesterday. I cannot see it. This is tragic and its senseless. I am heartbroken. We all are. Thank you everyone. Jambon and Heaven, thank you, too.
My lovely JW sister just said this to her oldest son.

It is so sad, Flying, although I understand that your nephew was very ill, no parent would like to be in your sister's shoes, her last words to her son having been near to cursing him. She has now to manage the situation with her conscience, for the rest of her life. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

Heather,
Please covey our sympathy to David's fiance. Amid all the talk about how your sister treated him, we can't forget about her and how devasting it must have been for her to discover his death.

I am so sorry for your loss.
When people are taught that disfellowshipping and shunning are acts of love and that scare tactics are a good way to motivate, it is not surprising that some end up acting as cruel as your sister. I am so sorry.

Thank you, everyone. I just got home from work. I spent the day on the verge of tears. I still have not heard from my sister. At least for now, she hasn't learned anything from this. I love her, but I am very mad at her right now. She has done this to David, my daughter and to me. I tried to tell her one of us could die and she'd be devastated. She did not listen. I am usually very patient. Right now I am not patient.

Just say No to hate and shunning.

I understand, but please don't stoop to Watchtower-style treatment. Somewhere inside, she should know she's lost the son she hurt so badly, and there's no way to go back and make things right with him. This is one of those times where if you can't find something nice to say, it's best to say nothing.

She has turned her life over to a bunch of men in Brooklyn and they have done this to her and to your family.
Pray for God to have mercy on her.

I can't say anything to her, she doesn't speak to me.
I am upset. I wouldn't say anything to hurt her, I love her. But I am very mad at her. When someone you love dies like this, you're going to feel some very strong emotions because this is final. Nothing can change it. He is gone and there is no going back to fix it. I want her to wake up. I want them all to wake up. At least her son Chris did break his silence and call me. I am hoping as she realizes the permanence of this that she will change. She's pretty warped by the lifestyle and pressures, to the point of mental illness. It's awful, horrible and a nightmare none of us is going to wake up from.
