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.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
