The loss of a brother

This is for my brother. I was extremely close to him, and life just isn't the same anymore! :(

Feel free to post about your brother, talk about how you feel & what your going through! Post anything that you want to get off your chest! No one is here to judge. It's amazing how weird and different I may think I'm feeling, but after taking to other siblings.. we understand exactly like no one else!

I lost my brother on June 30, 2014. He was 42. I still cannot believe he is gone. I've endure loss in my life, but no loss has decimated me the way losing Craig has. We were thick as thieves, he and I. So very incredibly close. He was my hero. The rock I could always count on since I was a toddling bratty sister for him. Growing up, when it stormed, I didn't seek my parents for comfort. I went to my brother. It's been storming for over a month now and I can't find solace or comfort. I miss him so incredibly bad. I feel like he was cheated. Like the world has been robbed of him. He was larger than life and now he's been snuffed. There aren't words enough to describe how I feel.

Angela:  What a great and touching letter to your brother.  I too still long for a hug from my brother and miss his great laughter after 4 years.  My brother's death left his 3 grandchildren without their Pappy.  Their Grammy (his wife) died of breast cancer a year before him.  They called them "the babies".  I promised my sister-in-law that I would do my best to be there for them, but never dreamed I'd have to do it without my brother.  Since then, they also lost their paternal grandmother.  So, I feel a greater responsibility to be that kind of figure in their young lives.  Bless you for caring so much about your nieces.  Special thoughts go out to you on this first anniversary of your brother's "angel day".

It was one year ago today, almost to the hour I learned you had passed. My heart aches for you baby brother. What I would give to feel you hug me again, to hear you laugh. I am watching over your babies. You would be so amazed at them. Your baby tells me she's the boss at 2 years old and your 4 year old told me you taught her how to ride her bike. Even from Heaven you are taking credit for my hard work. While you are at it, how about telling her to stop xtalking back and that asking for a unicorn doesn't mean she will get it. I can still hear you laughing when your children push me to the edge of pure insanity. Today I remember that losing you only magnified the immense presence you had on all of our lives. I will forever hold your children the way I know you would. Your arms aren't here to embrace them but mine are. I can feel your heartbeat when I hold them close. Thank you for the precious gifts and I am forever blessed to have had you as my brother. Missing you more than words can describe and living the life you would expect from us all. One day, one second at a time without you is like a recurring nightmare but I'm quickly snapped out of it while picking peas out of my carpet and washing finger paints off my walls. Forever in my heart you will be and until I take my last breath on this Earth I will make sure your girls know how much daddy loved them. One day when we meet again I hope you are prepared for a punch in the eye for leaving me and a long embrace for loving me.

It's five months today that I lost my older brother Paul, he was 37. He drowned in a local river leaving his soul mate and children, well, his pets behind. Since this has happened my aunt who never really.spent time with us growing up has suddenly made this about her. My younger brother is currently in New Zealand and returns next month. It's been hell because my.partner was six months pregnant at the time and it's killing me knowing he'll never meet our daughter

The hardest thing to do everyday is wake up and realize my brother is not here any more, I miss him sooooo much that I count the days down til I see him again.

I am also new to the group. I am still grieving for my brother, Greg, who died on Jan. 20th. He was only 56 yrs. old. I miss him every minute of every day. Sometimes I think I can't go on without him.

Hi! I'm new here and actually the main reason I came here was because I lost my brother last October in a car accident. My brother and I were incredibly close our whole lives. We, as all siblings do, had our falling outs, but in the end, we were always the ones to come back together and try to find a way to help each other understand what was going on in the other's life. My brother was no saint and he never claimed to be. But he was a good man with a good heart. His daughter, my niece, Jaydin, loves her daddy more than life itself and always knew he wanted to take care of her. Now instead, she cries while she's taking care of his grave. I never wanted to know what it would be like to lose a sibling. I still have another brother and a little sister, but the bond I shared with James is one I can never have back. And even now, thinking about this, I cry, missing him all over again.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
