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.
