My brother died of ALL just over 3 years ago, and as his annual came this time around, I started to just realize how traumatic and painful it is on my overall health, especially mental and emotional.
I don't want to type much because i have a flu, but I have NEVER found anyone in person or online that has faced the same older brother bereavement that I have, anyone on here going through what I am? Any support is appreciated, but if it's in relation to my exact case, that would just warm my heart to know... Thanks... :'( Hiiro Posted on 09/05/08, 10:09 pm |

Sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't lose any siblings, but lost my one and only grandchild to ALL. I have hated my everyday life since the day he passed on and the stress and anger it has left me is definitely causing some strain on my physical body and mental mind. I have a strong faith and it some what sustains me but nothing has taken away the pain. It has been 15 months since he left and honestly the pain isn't any less. I too am looking for anyone that might be in the same boat as myself with bereavement and ALL. I hope you peace and good health and for you to know that you are alone.
take care- hermaine

First, I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother just one month ago to ALL. I suppose that's not exactly the same as what you are going through, but it's pretty darn close!
I was incredibly close to my brother and it is that most difficult thing I have had to deal with in my life thus far. It is an unimaginable and unexplainable kind of pain you go through watching your brother suffer and die. Thomas was only 9 years old when he died and he suffered from leukemia for 6 of those years. Moving on seems next to impossible. Where to even begin? I think it is naive to think things will ever go back to "normal" or that everything will be "ok" It's not ok, and it's not normal, it never will be. Only thing I can say is trust. Trust that your brother is in Heaven, with no more suffering, and trust that he is watching over you. Soon enough we will meet our brothers in Heaven where we'll never have to say goodbye. I have learned that even though it's hard to get over it, you do get up. I hope this helps somewhat, and look forward to talking to you. Lauren
