Mom and Stephen

I lost my baby brother 26 years ago. He was burnt to death by an intruder who also robbed of the money he was saving to come to Florida to visit for about a week. Instead of having him visit we had to place his ashes in the Gulf of Mexico.
I stil cry over him when something reminds me of him.
My mom passed away in April of last year from lung cancer. I find that I still miss my brother much more than my mom because it was my moms time to go and she isn't suffering anymore. I'm afraid I'll never come to terms of my brother being gone. I miss him so much, it wasn't fair that his life ended that way.

Hi Barbara. I understand what you're saying about the grief you have for your mom and the grief you have for your brother. All death is hard on survivors. But when someone is taken away from us, especially in a violent or traumatic way the pain is indescribable. Even if I come to understand and accept that my son has passed on, its the why and the how he passed on that will hurt my heart as long as I live. Because no one should die for that reason, and no one should die that way. It wasn't fair the way their lives ended. We know they deserved better from this life.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
