Don't grieve alone; 14,000 members and growing
I am having trouble getting through my days now. My brother died one week ago, after a long illness. He did so well with his illness, a true hero in my mind. I am still having guilty anxious feelings about our estrangement, for some years, before I found out about his illness, 3 years ago. The estrangement was from both sides, more from his than mine, in some ways, but I let it go on, and even felt it was the right thing for me too. Now I regret those missed years.
I take some comfort in our reconciliation the last 3 years. It was truly a beautiful and loving healing, and for that I am grateful. I'm just having trouble with what we missed.
I'm feeling very anxious, and having trouble getting through my days, and keeping my life and work going. That's where I am now.

I think he should forgive yourself for this know that your brother is in a place where he has forgiven you and himself for what ever it was that happened between the two of you. He is at peace. Therefore, you cannot allow yourself to be at peace with this as well .I know that this will take some time and it is not something that happened overnight .of forgiving yourself is the start.
I'm so sorry for your loss
