Looking for friends that have lost someone to obesity

hazzaram

My brother died yesterday. He was only 38. His health was very bad. He was morbidly obese and could barely walk because of it. He was on a breathing machine. From my understanding, his body gave out while he was sleeping and he just... stopped.

I'm not in that deep but I am in the morbidly obese category. I'm on the verge of being a diabetic. I had already started this journey and I've lost 14 pounds so far. I'm doing this for me... but now I want to do it for him, too. He always struggled and could never seem to get his weight down. I want to dedicate this to him. I'm just hoping I can stay strong and get through this.

Sorry for the venting. I'm still trying to process. What I'm looking for is supportive friends that have gone through this. I need to do this for the both of us. I need to stay strong. Even people that are really active logging will help me out.

Thanks for your time.

I'm not obese, I haven't lost anyone to obesity, I'm not even particularly active (in terms of exercise), but I have lost someone who had no business dying suddenly and unexpectedly and wanted to say that I am so very sorry for your loss.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far, that's a great achievement. Be kind to yourself while you are grieving but keep your focus.
