So glad I found this site tonight. Thank you all for sharing about your losses...it helps me greatly.
I lost my bother 5 years ago today. He was 36 and I was 33. Funny how most of my memories though are of when we were kids! I count my / his blessings...but sometimes they are not enough; they include that he died in his sleep of a heart attack, so no pain; he was an organ donor; when he passed his wife was 7 mos pregnant with thier first child...so he left me an Angel named Sarah. And I learned that every day is a gift...but my heart still breaks.

I'm 29 and my 22 year old brother died on 7-12-06. We're not sure of exactly how, because are still waiting on toxicology reports, but we believe he died of an accidental pain medication overdose after injuring himself on his new motorcycle. He may have died from the injuries, but we may never know as police did not do full autopsy.
I don't have children, but have to figure out how to take care of myself, my other younger siblings and the rest of my family, including my better half who was very close to my brother.
I'm in grad school and hold a teaching assistantship, and am not sure how I am going to be able to handle these responsibilities.
Guess all we can do is try to keep on keeping on.
It is good to have these message boards and chats etc. as resources at a time when I feel so alone.
Take care!
