About Me:
I just lost my brother, who was in his early 60's. He died of a disease similar to Parkinsons, but much worse, and faster.
About my Loss:
My only brother died last Sunday. I was in his life the last 3 years, but before that, we had a very difficult relationship. This is what is hard for me now, the fact that we lost so many years. I have read that guilt is normal after the loss of someone, and that is what I am dealing with. We were never in each other's lives physically - on a daily basis, as we always lived so far apart geographically, but the fact that we spent so many years not communicating is hard for me now.

    Hi Susan.  Thanks for your message, I appreciate it.  This is such a lonely and difficult time for me.  It seems like people don't want to talk to me because they think it will upset me.  What people don't understand is that it actually brings me comfort to talk about Alex.  I also think that some people don't want to talk to me or be around me because they cannot deal with the possibility that anyone could lose a child.  Its almost as if they think it's contagious. I have joined a support group for parents who have lost their child.  I have been twice and it has helped me.  If you don't mind me asking, who did you lose?
