Thank you for this. Your writing - it's clarity and gritty honesty is brilliant. I don't have any wisdom to exchange for its gift. Just know that sharing your heart makes all of us in our own stories less alone.
Sometimes in horrible times like this I read the psalms. I don’t know why they help but somehow they do - even if I’m reading them with my brain and emotions in a cyclone. Maybe because they don’t hold back in the negative emotions - rage? Fear? Despair? And still are in conversation with something bigger than us. 🌻
I'm so sorry. Its hard for you to discern from far away and over a video call. I can only imagine how stressful this is! Is there a non-family member who could visit him? Is there a jail ministry that does visitation? Does he have a lawyer? A social worker? This just sounds exhausting!
I know this much to be true: You are not alone in this, and neither is your brother.
