Mats, I'm so sorry that Hans had to suffer.
You and Hans were so blessed to have each other.
I know how much you loved him.
I can't express what I really want to say with these tears.
Just know that I'm thinking of you.
Maybe we could plan a hike in memory of Hans.
Bigs Hugs,
Mtnmama
 
What a great trip report.
I'm sorry for your loss, but Hans will always be with you in your heart.
 
Sometimes there are no words that feel right to say when a person close to us is lost, its like a piece of us is lost as well...so much gained and so much lost, so much joy and so much sadness; and so it goes, sometimes it seems in life there is no way to separate two oposing emotions without losing life's full meaning.

Its so very special that you were able to be there with and for Hans.

Take care.

Mats,

A very touching eulogy. I'm happy for you that you got to enjoy that last "Hike" with your brother. It is never easy saying goodbye to someone you love so much. Your brother was very strong right until the end.

Regards
Phil

Mats, thanks for sharing the last few precious days you had with your brother. I wish I had the chance to meet him too...but know that in some ways I have, as he'll always be a part of you. He was so blessed to have you there, holding his hand till the end, taking good care of him, and wrapping him in a beautiful purple sunset.
