I’m sorry for your loss.
I’m here if you need to talk. I’m not sure I can help but at least I can listen. And I’m sure a lot of the people here will do the same. It’s an amazing place to be.

I understand loss, and how guilt can carry for a long time even if it was out of our control. Sending positive vibes your way. Grief is hard. Hugs!

Welcome to the forum Leslie. I’m so sorry for your loss. I find it very difficult to cope with the anniversaries of both my parents death. I can imagine how hard it is for you dealing with your brother’s. Be kind to yourself and feel the emotions. Sometimes a long cry helps me or beating up a pillow to release anger. Do whatever it is that helps you to get it out. Bottling it up only makes it worse. Keeping you in my prayers during this tough time.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Take whatever time you need to share or not. It’s not a race, it’s a journey, and your journey won’t necessarily be the same as someone else’s. Just know that there are a lot of people who care about helping others in their journey.
