I'm very sorry for your loss Veronica. My sincere condolences.

My sympathies. It's always hard.

Me, too, Veronica, add my sincere condolences to Mojo's. I'll be thinking of you.

I can't imagine what you're feeling, Veronica. I am so very sorry for your loss of your brother. You and the grief you carry within your heart will be in my thoughts today.

Welcome to the forum, Veronica.

I have lost the two older of my five brothers. I don't even know where the other 3 brothers are. The second one died last month. I was estranged from both of them when they died. It still hurts. I am ever more convinced that we don't get to cut sibling bonds. There is not enough distance, physical or emotional, in the world to nullify them, nor enough denial to repress them. These days I ^just^ process the remembrance episodes with allot of help from my therapy support network. They are what they are, whether I understand them, or not.

Gentle support while you find what works for you, Veronica. Welcome to the forum. Hope you find healing companionship here. You are not alone.

My heart goes out to you in your time of grieving. Losing a family member has got to be one of the hardest things we ever have to endure in this life. I am glad that you decided to reach out to the group and let us know what you are going through. Sometimes it helps to talk about it, other times it helps just to hear (or read) the kind words of genuinely caring people like what we have in our midst here. For me personally, it helped to find a group in my area for grievers like me. If you're interested you could Google search GriefShare to find one near you. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
