] Date Posted: 17:07:06 08/04/05 Thu I lost my brother last October. He was shot through the heart at point blank range. I have nobody to turn to, yes, I have had counseling, counseling and more counseling. I really need the strength of my only other living relative, my older sister. She is too busy pretending that the "big bad world" doesn't exist and walks through life with rose colored glasses! I sit here tonight after speaking with the prosecutors office regarding the trial and feel really alone. Having suffered the loss of both parents, and now my brother, I feel like I am being punished. It is true, I do. I have heard soooo much, when will you be over this? Are you always going to be like this? When will you let it go? Get over it already! Death is death, no matter the circumstances, it is a great loss in your life, a hole in your heart, and a door that is slammed closed forever! My sister-in-law was so thoughtful, she had my brother cremated and ashes spread before my sister and I knew it! No closure, which is the worst. I planned my parents funeral, (both separate occasions) and never thought I was going to be faced with a senseless death of another family member. The man I am dating, doesn't get it and wants to know why I keep doing this to myself? Doing what? I mean come on, I have had death surrounding me almost my whole life. HELP!

Date Posted: 14:05:32 08/06/05 Sat Hello, Please do not listen to people, that have not lost a sibling, concerning how you should feel. For that matter, even for all of us each of our experiences are different. The difference is that all of us understand the pain of loss. The loss of your brother is still very new. Add the traumatic way he was taken from you, all of the legal matters you are dealing with, and the lack of support from your family members; it is no wonder you are still struggling to cope with your grief. For many of us it takes a long time to find some semblance of normalcy in our lives. Be patient and gentle with yourself, allow time to grieve. take care, Mary [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 12:15:37 09/26/05 Mon Hi, My brother was murdered last October as well. I know how you feel as you deal with the not only the loss of your brother but the brutality and lack of compassion for human life. I have posted here before and have just lived through a trial and sentencing for the person responsible. If you would like to emial me you can - I would be glad to share with you my experiences with the criminal justice system. I will just warn you that the trial brings up all of the emotions again and you may hear some things from the defense that you know aren't true - they may even say mean things about your brother. Just be true to yourself and try not to let it get to you. These are the tactics that they use in front of a jury. You know your brother and the prosecuter will make sure that the jury does too! Take care! I am sorry that you have had to experience the same pain that I do. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
