Subject: loss of brother...heaven's special child

Author: Dana (trying to cope/ feeling lost)

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:47:59 05/09/09 Sat I deeply need to know someone can please relate to my feelings. I have a wonderful family and amazing friends but.... my story is this. I lost my precious brother in Feb this year. He had severe brain damage/ CP from birth. He passed away the day before is 36th birthday. He has never walked or talked. He could not sit up. He was in all of 65lbs and his life was so full difficulty and suffering... yet full of life ,smiles and eyes that would shine.he was such an amazing little boy ! We cared for him at home and he was truly a gift from heaven.( I'm 38) big sister ! I never felt jealous of him only guilty or sad for daily challenges in life. Does life get better? I'm having a hard time moving forward in life and i'm full of so many types of emotions. I'm empty without my precious brother to love and care for. Has anyone out there gone thru many years of caring for chronic illness of sibling and lost them... feeling like you died with them. By the way his life inspired me to become a Nurse ! He was my little hero and I miss him deeply. My thoughts go to all of you who are hurting for however you may have lost your sibling! I hear time will help us heal.

Date Posted: 17:28:13 06/05/09 Fri Hello, I do feel I have some understanding of what you are feeling. My sister died at an early age with a chronic genetic condition. I still miss her so much. But like you I turned my career into a way I could use the experience to help others and I became a advocate for at-risk children. This gives my life meaning. And you are right-time is a healer if you use the time to grieve and make some kind of sense of the loss. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
