] Date Posted: 06:08:51 07/07/06 Fri In reply to: Liz 's message, "Loss of a brother" on 13:13:01 07/05/06 Wed Dear Liz, Grief is lonely, you are certainly right about that. Right now it seems like your grief is neverending. The pain is actually physical at times. You wonder if you have grieved enough--don't worry, you will never forget the ones you loved. You can still love them and remember them. Losing two siblings is particularly difficult because of the way the grief comes and goes. You have two birthdays and two angel dates that might cause your feelings to re-surface. When this happens, you need to be especially good to yourself. There are several people here who have lost two siblings so we do understand. Come back and visit again soon. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 11:27:54 07/27/06 Thu I also lost both a brother (2 yrs ago) and a sister (11 years ago). Both committed suicide. This leaves me as an only child. My sister had suffered with depression for a long time but with my brother we weren't aware of any serious problems. I am still dumb founded. I am suffering from some anxiety as I am so afraid of losing anyone else close to me. Suicide is such a stigma. Also, everyone assumes when you are in your early 40's, you couldn't have lost any siblings to death yet! I am blessed with a loving husband and our three children, but I miss having my own siblings.

Date Posted: 05:19:40 08/01/06 Tue Dear N, I can't imagine what you have experienced, losing both siblings to suicide. That feels like such a rejection--no wonder you fear losing others close to you. I'm glad you visited us and hope you will check back from time to time. We had an experience of suicide in our family, my husband's brother. At first I was so angry but I came to believe that he was not himself when he did it--as they say, "the balance of his mind was disturbed"--he didn't really want to leave us.
