Hi Annette,

I lost my only sibling, my older brother, back in March of this year.  He had a long illness, lived in another country, alone, and we had been estranged before I found out about his illness.  I went over there, spent about 4 months with him, and we healed our relationship before he died.  

I'm still in the early stages of grief, I think, and there is no one to talk with over here, as no one has even ever met him where I live now.  Also, his ashes were spread in Germany, so, there is no place to visit.

That's my story, somewhat.  Thanks for asking.

All the best to you, Annette.

Susan
