Not to sound rude, but what was the cause?

 

[Knight Dude]

Sorry to hear about what happened to Brelooming. I didn't know him personally, but I hope his family can pull through. The guy was too young to go out now.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Not to sound rude, but what was the cause?

Leukemia, a type of cancer

 

[Deleted member]

If he were alive he'd want you to be happy. That's it. Stop projecting your thoughts on the deceased.

You may not have done anything this time, but you're young, and you've got time to grow.

For now mourn. It's all you can do. Once you find a new balance, work on changing. Don't focus too much on it now.

Death is always a hard situation. There's no true right way to react. All you can really do is mourn and help their loved ones in any way. He wouldn't have wanted you to beat yourself up over this.

If he was alive he'd tell you not to beat yourself up over it.

I ain't discouraging the idea, just the framework.

Don't do it out of guilt.

Do it out of pride.

Honor him with it. Honor yourself with it.

That'd make it worthy.

Not to be impolite, but I have done nothing to deserve this.

 

[Hinata]

Not to sound rude, but what was the cause?

He was diagnosed with tuberculosis at first, and then was later diagnosed with leukemia.

The combination of both diseases, plus the stress that the treatments caused him, was the cause of death, I believe.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Not to be impolite, but I have done nothing to deserve this.

You're here, you're livin, and you wanna make a positive impact.

That's enough for my support.

 

[Wademan94]

My heart goes out to his family and friends and everyone here. Such a shame that this happened. He did not deserve to go through all this suffering. I regret not having any some final words to give him before he left. I’m glad at least he knew how much we cared about him here.

R.I.P. Breloom

If we are going to discuss this we should discuss this in a PM to not damper the mood for people who don't want to hear it. Reply to this message and I'll add you to a PM.

I’d like to join please.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Also to the people who're taking a break/considering it, there's no wrong way to mourn

Well that’s good...


Anyway, I’m back for a bit.

Regardless of the outcome, the fact that we're all together celebrating the life and membership of Brelooming is a sight to behold. That's why I love fandoms; in the darkest of times, they stop all controversy and band together for something amazing. My condolences to his friends and family. Cancer hasn't just lost us the likes of Iwata and Stephan, it costs everymen like Brelooming. I hope things can get better from here.

Why do ****posts get more likes than this?

Yeah. By voice acting. Not finding the cure to cancer or something along those lines.

This is a normal reaction to loss of a friend. That kid was braver than most of us ever will be, but like I said, emotions are fickle. We all wish we could have done more

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Voice acting is a form of entertainment, and you know what they say, laughter is the best medicine.

That’s exactly the problem. I’m not a good person like him.

 

[KarneraMythos]

I heard the news and I am devastated as to what happened to our fallen friend. Rest in Peace, Brelooming. My prayers go out to you and your family.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Yeah. By voice acting. Not finding the cure to cancer or something along those lines.

There's literally millions of people on this planet right now all working to find that cure and not a single one of them has.

I don't fault any of them.

There's literally billions of people on this planet right now all unable to contribute to the fight more than some emotional and occasionally financial support.

I don't fault any of them.

I couldn't stop it from taking the love of my life.

Neither I nor she faulted myself.

I'm not gonna fault you.

Don't you fault you either.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

That’s exactly the problem. I’m not a good person like him.

Nothing good lasts forever. Just be glad we got time with him.

 

[Coricus]

I really doubt it. He’s dead. If he was alive don’t you think he would want me to get a life?


Well, I really could have done a lot of things to help, if we’re all being honest here.

If Brelooming were still alive he'd just want you to treat him like a normal person and not pity on him. He wouldn't ask anything more than that of you. He wouldn't look down on you. He wouldn't judge you off of your own insecurities. He just wanted to be treated like another user and not a magnet for hollow sympathy. And I'd like to at least hope that in his final days we gave him that. His wish for us to not dwell on him, from what I can tell all he ever wanted was for us to just be our same old selves and to be happy. Because he grew to care about us for who we are, not for who we could be or should be. Because this is a community full of loving, caring people, and on at least some level we brought a bit of positivity into his life. He just liked us for us.

And as heart wrenching as this absolutely horrible situation is, there's something really bittersweet about that. We didn't let him down, at least I'd hope not. We meant more than we could ever hope for. We made him happier just for existing. And that. . .that's what's pushed me from just shock to fogging up here. Because as much as we beat ourselves up, as much as something like this makes us question ourselves individually. . .we did right by him.

 

[TheMightyP]

Cancer huh. That's quite a scary word. It keeps going down and down, but at the same time, you keep hearing that more and more get it. You never know how it feels until you someone you love gets it.

I hope we do find a way to end it somehow. I know it's been so many years since the search for the cure, but I just know we're gonna get there at some point.

But for now, it just took another life. A young one too. Absolutely sucks when you hear of that. A battle that we loss, but cancer will not win the war. I'm sure if it.

 

[Noipoi]

It isn't much, but I felt like I had to do something. I couldn't rest unless I did something.

He was taken far too early. It is truly unfair what happened. He was young, he should have had many, many years ahead of him. Years full of good times that he'd look back on forever, years full of bad times and challenges that he'd rise above. He should have had a life, but that was taken from him. He was one of us. A weirdo, drawn to a website full of other weirdos. A community of people that care far too much about video games. But more than that, a community of people who care far too much about each other. I've never lost a friend before, and I don't even know how I feel right now. One of the last things he asked me was if he died, make sure no one ever forgot him. I will uphold that promise for as long as I remain here.

Rest in peace Brelooming Disaster. We'll remember you always.

 

[Ura]

**** this guy.

Yes, hindsight being what it is of course. None of us knew the truth.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

That’s exactly the problem. I’m not a good person like him.

I'd say that the fact you're so concerned about yourself as a human being and devastated about this is proof that you're good. Trust me, it always feels like we could have done better when someone we care for passes. The best thing I can do is try to help others with this as I've been here before. You're a good kid and I can assure you Brelooming knows you're a good kid too

You’ve outdone yourself. Wish I could do something. Then again my art kinda sucks.

Couldn't agree more. If it's any consolation, we at least made an effort to make him feel loved during his 48 hour swan song. He definitely went out rather unpleasantly given what he was afflicted with, but early death or not, he at least went out knowing he was never alone. A beautiful, somber, bittersweet tragedy indeed...

 

[Deleted member]

Imagined the news after seeing an avatar a few pages ago. I'm quite sad to hear about Brelooming's passing, hope that he and his family can find peace. My condolences to his family and people close to him.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Yeah I have no idea what to do.

 

[Hinata]

I'm sure, wherever Brelooming is, he appreciates you all honoring his memory. There's no wrong way to handle this situation. It's a terrible thing for everyone involved.

At the very least, he's no longer in pain. He doesn't have to worry about his diseases anymore. Wherever he is, all I can hope is that he's finally at peace.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Yeah I have no idea what to do.

Live.

It's what we can do.

 

[Deleted member]

My condolences go to Brelooming's family and close people from this site...

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Live.

It's what we can do.

I kinda just feel like I should do more.

 

[TheMightyP]

Anyways, concerning the events that taken place, I'm gonna take a quick absence from this site out of respect. I hope the best for his family and his friends, and here's to him being in the great beyond.

 

[Will]

I kinda just feel like I should do more.

You're not expected to do things beyond your power. We're only human beings.

 

[Moydow]

I didn't know Breloom as well as a lot of people here did, but it's still pretty difficult to process something like this, especially seeing someone so young go through something so awful. I guess all I can really say is to send my condolences to his family and friends.

I do want to echo what a few other people were saying, though, that there's no right or wrong way to mourn. Everyone responds differently to something like this, it doesn't make how you're feeling about it any more or less valid if it's not the same as everyone else. Especially with how young he was, that can really make it all the more difficult and emotionally taxing to process. So if you feel like you need to take time away to gather your thoughts or whatever, or if you're happy just sharing it with people here, it's completely fine. Just take whatever time you need to work through it in whatever way works for you, that's all you can do.

 

[Deleted member]

Brelooming was a best friend. He impacted me in a very positive way.
I will honor his memory forever.

 

[KarneraMythos]

I kinda just feel like I should do more.

Hey man, don't beat yourself down. It's like Gwen said, your capacity for empathy is more than enough to prove that you have a big heart already.

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly I'm pissed off, I'm Sad, I'm Confused and yet it feels like it hasn't even sunk in yet. This seriously sucks and it feels like no matter who I meet or know regardless of how much I know a person or not I always get them ripped away or I end up making their lives worse, I kinda feel like I'm cursed even though I'm obviously not. There are no such things as curses.

I'm seriously contemplating taking a break or even deleting my account I never had to go through something like this and the only times I did I forgot how it felt, It does not feel okay in the slightest. I just hope the kid is in a better place whatever that may be and if there's some sort of god I'm seriously pissed off at them letting this happen to Brelooming, I thought god was supposed to be a nice person not someone who takes a kid away when he didn't even get to live his life.

**** you god, **** you too world. I'm out.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Brelooming was a best friend. He impacted me in a very positive way.

honoring and paying respects to him is something you can do...and is well deserved

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Me: I probably need another small break... I’ll go watch some YouTube.
Youtube: Ad about an organization that helps people with illnesses.

YouTube why

 

[BlueMonk]

I wasn't going to post but it felt wrong not to. I don't have anything to say, really, except that it's a shame he was taken so young. My condolences to his family.

Also, remember that Brelooming would have wanted us to be happy, not angry or sad. In the end there was nothing any of us could have done.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Hello, everyone. I come bearing very unfortunate news.

A few members of this forum have been in contact with Brelooming Disaster and his family ever since his initial diagnosis, and we just got an update on his condition.

Sadly, earlier today, he passed away. I don't even know what to say in this situation. Someone like him never deserved to go through such a terrible experience. You could tell that each passing moment made him more and more stressed.

I ask that you all take a moment to pay your respects to him. Even if you didn't know him personally, Brelooming was a very active member of this community, and it's heartbreaking to hear this happen.

That's real awful. Just like with that player who was allowed to play the game before release, he'll never know who's going to be in the Fighter Pass now.

People don't deserve to die so early in life, no matter who they are. Rest in peace.

 

[Will]

if there's some sort of god I'm seriously pissed off at them letting this happen to Brelooming, I thought god was supposed to be a nice person not someone who takes a kid away when he didn't even get to live his life

If you've fully read any abrahamic gods text you'd know that it's never described as sunshine and rainbows, no offense

I think there are actual storylines about this concept too, but yelling at the big man in the sky isn't the answer
