So my little brother died of a pulmonary embolism a few years ago. We were hiking near Zion National Park in Utah, when he suddenly collapsed. I always carry my ham radio when hiking and was able to call for help, but it still took them nearly an hour to arrive. It's an hour I remember better than anything else - permanently burned into my memory. An hour I spent helplessly watching my brother die. You don't forget something like that.
But today I woke up and found out my little brother is alive and well, studying art at a college in New England. Nobody else in my family seems to remember him dying. Like I slipped into an alternate universe where he's still alive.
I should be grateful... you know, he gets a second chance, but I am very disturbed. Something doesn't feel right. I haven't tried contacting him yet, and I'm not sure if I should.
Thoughts?

False memories are a serious symptom of brain problems. I'm not joking, see a neurologist.

Did you hear about the Mandela effect? It looks something similar like what happenened to you... sorry for bad english

yeah, but the mandela effect is always for stupid shit, like the berenstain bears or what darth vader says to luke. This seems a little more serious than that

It happens. Just shake it off, and get used to this reality now. By all physical accounts "its always been this way," for all the inhabitants there. If you push for an explanation, you might just get one.

So don't worry about it.

How many years ago do you think he died? Does the family have photographs or videos of him since you think it happened? Look at them and maybe that will help.

this was already a story on r/nosleep
It was called plotholes and basically they happen all the time apparently
(although they happened within days in that story)
Point is, you're not original

You weren't given a second chance OP, you were transported to the far worse, nightmare universe where your brother is useless fag.

Somewhat related, I heard somewhere that most of our memory is made up. Like it's all specific groups of neutrons that remember super specific things, like a face, or a sound, but when you have a memory of an event, 90% of it is bullshit made up by your brain to kind of "fill in the blanks". We don't actually remember things vividly, we just remember a couple key specific things that we then associate with those neuron groups, and then our mind kind of deletes the rest of the "nonimportant" shit and then if we ever remember that scene/event our mind remembers the original important parts, and then fills in the rest with literal garbage.
It's why it's super easy for memory imprinting to occur.

He said art, not gender studies.
