- 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.

Your words meant allot I appreciate it. I struggle everyday with allot of thing's involving the death of my Dad & sister. Allot of people don't know what to say when they are around me when it comes to Suicide. People do not understand Mental ilness & it get's avoided & brushed to the side allot. It's sad Thank you so much for your kind words I hope we can talk more!

Susan,
Thank you for such kind words. I spent hours reading through the posts on this site when I found it, then recently just closed the computer and coundn't bring myself back. I think sometimes it's easier to live in disbelief and not acknowledge the hurt. I came back today and it was a comfort to be greeted by your welcome. The loss of a sibling must be absolutely devestating and you have my sympathy and prayers.
Gob bless,
Rhonda
