Dear Stubborn, so sorry to hear this. Brain death is often “diagnosed” as a ploy to take organs. Brain death does not exist. It was fabricated at the same time that organ transplants became the thing. Please find out all you can about this. It is not unknown for patients to recover after so-called brain death.

Meanwhile I will be praying for your brother, Philip, and his wife and all your family. It sounds like he is well prepared for death if indeed his time here is over, but let us pray for a miracle.

Thanks Nadir and I understand what you're talking about. His wife said that he was gone almost immediately, but was completely gone within 3 or 4 minutes of them removing life support. We're just very thankful to Almighty God  that he received the last rites and died wearing his scapular.
