The only thing i can do is try to give him one, words just really are not going to fix this ,i am not strong enough to even call him today, i feel i might break down and make him more sad???

Just a thought, I'm not religeous though I believe in God. I'm not one for advice let alone one for taking advice..... show your bro this thread (what your've written), relay your strength and love for him and most importantly let him know that you and your family need him as the 5th member of your family.

It is Validity in the Truth.

There are 4 of us, but no one yet has actually gone in to see if they are a blood match yet, the family will be talking today,he cannot return to work, and cannot even cut his grass, i can't imagine what's in his mind, i'm working up the strenth to give him a call,i am scared

Hi Validity,
My dad also has kidney failure and is on peritoneal dialysis. I recently looked into live kidney donation.
It's not just a physical thing, donating a kidney, its a major emotional roller-coaster.
I decided against broaching the subject with my dad, for a number of reasons, some emotional, some simply practical.
My dad is still well on the peritoneal dialysis, so I'd left my mind open to the possibility that I may review my decision, should his circumstances, (or mine), change and his quality of life is reduced.
As it is, I'm glad I left my decision where it was, as circumstances in my life have dramatically changed - had we started working towards live donation, I would have had to withdraw my offer within the last couple of weeks.
Live donation is a very big thing. Weigh up your options and the impact that it will have on your life, both emotionally and practically. If it is not right for you, you are under no obligation to do this.
If its right for you, you will know.

PS. Have you researched live donation, yet? Have you been to see a nephrologist yourself? Maybe you could do this before you discuss this with your brother. If his kidney failure is hereditary, you will not be a suitable donor anyway. Go and do some research,maybe. Looking is not a commitment. Jx
