[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi Op

I can't find my posting but, I am the poster with the brother with stage 4 lung cancer who has cut himself off from the family.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated![/quote]

Since no one else has responded yet and you were going to be in the next grouping, I will do yours now!

So, I don’t want this to sound harsh, but I am not going to sugar coat it.  At this moment in time, in regards to your relationship with your brother, it is not about what you want and it is about learning to hear him and understand him even if you don’t get it.  His perception is his perception and how they view the world.  Allow him to speak without you speaking in return. With that said, it will be important for you to at the very least clearly communicate with him that you love him and all you want to do is be there for him.  Ask him what HE needs and wants.  Sometimes, finding closure has to happen within because we can only control ourselves.  Your brother is scared and trying to come to terms with everything himself both past and present.  I sense he may have unresolved anger and I feel if you can just be there for him, to listen without response and showing compassion, you may make more headway and he will naturally try to then help you.  You have to make sure though, that if that doesn’t happen, you need to find a way to gain closure from within.  If you do feel the need to try and remember your past, do not rely on him because even though you grew up together, how you dealt with anything that may have happened could be quite different.  Instead, seek out a professional who can help you do the inner work you need to uncover what you need and to help you gain closure with anything you feel you need closure on.  Don’t put that on your brother right now, he already has so much on his plate.

I definitely sense anxiety within you that you seem to want to drown out.  That anxiety could lead to petty quarrels or worry over things that don’t matter because you subconsciously do not want to deal with what does matter.  You are keenly aware that you and your family will be forced to start down a new path in the future and you need to have patience at this time.  If you do not have a spiritual practice, it may be very beneficial to do some reading in that area.

The card I pulled that represents your current energy is the 2 of Wands clarified by the Knight of Pentacles. I feel like you are stuck. Not that you have given up or are shutting down, but rather you just don’t know where to go or what to do.  The energy that generally gives you momentum to do has almost come to a standstill and it’s difficult for you to enjoy much right now.  That is totally understandable during a situation like this, but there is something to be said about also trying to keep life somewhat normal so that you have something stable to fall onto when you need it.

The card that represents the energy between you and your brother is the 8 of Cups in reverse clarified by the 6 of Cups in reverse.  THere is a lot of emotion here and you are having trouble realizing you are going to have to let go.  The negative areas of the past are holding you and your brother back from just letting go and trying to embrace what the situation is at this time.  The two of you would benefit from letting all that go and instead move forward and appreciate the time that you do have. So if you try and reach out and he is not responding, just send him a text everyday letting him know you love him and nothing more.  Text him about happy memories you have with him or just something you were thinking about.  He will read them, even if he doesn’t respond and he will know that you care.

The card that represents the energy of the Past is the Hanged Man in reverse and the 8 of Swords in reverse. This shows there definitely are different perceptions of your shared past and that he may have held on to more than you did.  I’m not sensing too much here because it feels somewhat blocked.  I feel like you want to gain clarity, but it may be more complex than you realize.

The card that represents how to move forward is the 4 of Wands clarified by the Ace of Swords.  Let go and send your brother love.  If he wants to see you, spend time together and celebrate your relationship.  This will help you to gain clarity of the situation as it is and may help you both move forward more productively.

The card that represents the outcome is Death (signifies rebirth) and the Ace of Cups.  I really feel if you can can shift your perspective to being receptive to his needs at this time, you will have a new beginning with him that will be very loving and open.  Remember though, you cannot control what he does, but you can control your reaction and responses to it.  Just send him love….lots of love.  That is what he needs right now.

All that said.  It is important to love yourself too and be good to yourself as well.  Give yourself a break from thinking about this situation no matter how difficult it may be.  You have to allow your mind to rest for true clarity to come in.

I am so sorry you are going through this.  I send you lots of love.[/quote]

Wow!  You blew me away. Thank you very much.    I get he is going though his journey and I had hoped we would be able to help support him but, he does not want me or my love.  When I sent him and his family gifts to uplift him or texted him I love him he said I was "love bombing" him so I stopped. I tried to visit and he shut the door in my face. It took an hour to get to his house.    Right now, he is very angry and I don't believe you can heal if you are angry.  I love him and hope for the best but, I have given up on us reconnecting.  He is not the brother I knew and if a stranger I wouldn't want to know.  He told us that he wants to be with his immediate  family and his wife's family and in the beginning I knew she was telling everyone how horrible we were that we weren't supporting him ( even though we tried so many times)  So now I don't care what others think because I can't change it anyway.

Thank you for your reading.  I had tried to get counseling but, I now think I can work through this on my own ( with support of my other family members)  I am sad he has this and that his children are suffering. I know because our dad died of lung cancer too.

Peace[/quote]
