Missing my brother

[Esther]

I miss my brother beyond words can say, it's a feeling deep down is how I can describe it. My brother, my only sibling went missing in May 2014, three days later, was found. A loss so profound that people who are not grieving can't understand the pain. And no matter how much time has passed, the pain remains. I think people don't know what to say or that what they say will make sad, but I'll always be sad, just acknowledge my brother was here, he existed. Six yrs later now and the guilt remains, the questions remain, the answers may not be found and the loss is so profound that sometimes I question my own life.

Lost my sister 2 weeks ago, unexpectedly to a stroke.  She lives on the other side of the country.  I hadn't seen her in 2 years, though we kept in touch by telephone.  There is no memorial, funeral or anything.  It makes it seem so unreal.  I don't know how to do something to honor her to try and get some type of closure.  My siblings do not even talk about her or what happened anymore.  It is like it never happened.  One reason this may be happening is my other sister is dying of lung cancer and we are very involved in her care.  I don't feel like I can grieve.  I feel exhausted and overwhelmed, but grieving does not come.  

I am so sorry you lost your brother in such a tramatic way.  I think the trauma of the circumstances and the unanswered questions add to your pain.  Wish I had some encouragement to offer.  Getting through some days is difficult. 

Sending you a wish for peace.

I lost my sister today. I thought one of the main purposes of my life was to take care of her and look out for her. She’s so funny. She was always the popular one even though she was in a wheelchair she loves to dance. I love her so much. She was supposed to be the Sophia to my Dorothy. We laughed so much. I don’t know what to do or say I feel like I’m not fully in my body.

I lost my sister last year. She died during chilbirth due to an unexpected heart failure that has no reason. My twin nieces were born premature and just barely survived. It is really tough. She left all of us and we are in shock till date not knowing what to do. She was the fittest person i have ever known and yet she died. Sometimes all i wish for is to scream and shout and get angry at her for the universe for taking her away. I dont live with my nieces due to my work and sometimes feel guilty of escaping my resposibilities.

I have no words of encouragement honestly and feel as bad as you. Although i still believe that my sister is watching over me (I dont believe in god anymore after what happened). And hope that she will make things better someday.
