I am so sorry about your brother. He was so young--yes, I am sad to say this is just the beginning, although it might affect me more because Rob and I were just 11 months apart in age. He was like my right hand. We knew when each other was feeling down and we never felt alone. I think the grief comes and goes at times. I hope that you will find it easier. You didn't say how old you are, but I was only 16 when Rob died. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Date Posted: 18:37:25 01/27/06 Fri Thanks, John, for your sympathy - or I should probably say empathy, because you have experienced something quite similar. I am 26, so Kurt was 6 years younger. So, I kind of feel a maternal loss also. Someone told me recently that there are two losses people experience when a loved one dies. They experience the loss of the person, and they also experience the loss of that relationship. Kurt, as a person, will be easy to remember - no one could forget meeting someone like him! But, it's just miserable to miss the relationship. Luckily, I have similar relationships with my other brother and twin. That helps. Do you have another sibling? Take care.... - Lucy
