My Story

My first day of highschool was the same day my family got a call from the hospital alerting us that my brother, my only sibling, was involved in a serious car accident. Long story short, he did not survive. This crushed my parents and caused me to feel so many mixed and crazy emotions. I had no way of coping with this. Saldy as I am a teenager, nobody at my school really understoodd what I was going through and almost excpected me to get over it. I am now 17 years old and I still have not even gotten close to accepting this, as I have never found a way of coping. I have tried numerous support groups, where evertime it left me in a situation where I am in a room filled with teens who have only lost grandparents and not even someone in their immediate family. I realize that I can't get through this alone and decided to create this group. This might be my only option left, so I'm praying this goes well.

I know you wrote this awhile ago but my younger brother died in a car accident 2 years ago and I still can't believe it happened. It an all consuming sadness. It crushed my parents as well. My other brother just put it in a box and didn't really deal with it. I feel very alone with the loss. Taking care of your parents and dealing with that by yourself must be incredibly lonely and hard. I lost my best friend, someone I shared so many memories with that I'll never be able to make new ones with. And, I keep thinking, when my parents die I'll be alone and the memories will disappear. I literally think of him everyday. I used to think that was a cheesy phrase but i get it. It broke me. You're not alone.

My younger brother, 53, passed away recently of a massive heart attack alone in his car just 1 minute from my mother's house. My other brother found him passed and a lady walking by had called 911. We were all in the ED while they worked on him for over an hour, but he didn't make it. I think of him every day and he has come to me in my dreams 3 times already. I am still in disbelief and shock. There were over 200 people at his wake totally distraught. He just left his job of 15 years to join his wife in their own business and he had so many dreams.This last Saturday, I picked up his ashes and brought him home. I can't believe this is all I have left of my dear brother. It's consuming me. I miss him so much.
