GROUP FOR LOSS OF SISTERS AND BROTHERS

Hi. I am new. I have been looking for a support group for sibling loss. I lost my youngest brother 4 1/2 years ago. He was hit by a car while out riding his bicycle. His helmet was crushed. He was declared brain dead two days later. He was 37 years old. This past May, my living brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was removed the next day. The day after surgery he was doing well and ready to go home. Minutes before he walked out of the hospital he suffered a severe brain hemorrhage and was rushed back into surgery. He is now completely physically disabled. He can feed himself and can speak but he slits and is difficult to understand. He is 43 years old. I am 45 years old. We have an older sister who is 10 years older than I am. She got married and left home when the boys and I were 9, 7 and 5. My brothers and I grew up together and were very close. My sister remains very close to us but in a more motherly way. She also has serious health issues since birth and almost died after a surgery 7 years ago. My parents are in their 70's. Sometimes I feel extreme panic that I could lose everyone in my family. I mourn the loss of my brother more and more every day. I thought it may help to talk to others who understand.
