I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. Major life events are a hundred, a thousand times harder to endure when you have any kind of affective mood disorder. Most 'ordinary' people just don't understand that. That's why we're here. :-/
I have an idea of how you're feeling....I lost my mom a few years ago. The problem with dealing with a life-threatening illness in someone we're very close to is not only the possibility of losing that person, but also the fact that it forces us to face our own mortality as well. That's the hardest thing of all.
I don't have any answers for you. I wish I did. I still miss my mom and I always will. I hope your brother is able to defeat this illness. It can be done, you know. My mother survived cancer TWICE before this last illness took her. She was one tough lady. I wish I had just half of her strength.
Anyway.....just wanted you to know that someone is listening, and understands (maybe a little).
