5 years ago we lost my brother after 2 month battle with cancer. He was a health young man, he had found the love of his life. He had asked his bf to marry him & then we hit Covid. The hospitals were under so much pressure with Covid, he was told that he cancer alone with his bf sat in the car park as he wasn’t allowed in, not even to hold his hand while being told that news.
It feels like he was stolen from us, never in my head did I think my little brother go first and at young age 32. I find myself missing more today than yesterday, he is always there in my thoughts. I wish I could just have 5 minutes back to tell him how much I love him and to feel him giving me a hug like he used too.
Hello @Storm21,
Thank you for so bravely reaching out to the community. I am so sorry for the loss of your brother.
You are not alone. We have many members who have experienced the loss of a sibling and will understand some of what you’re going through. You can read conversations our members have shared on our Losing a sibling category page.
You may also find it helpful to read our Losing a sibling page on our website. It talks you through some of what you might be feeling, and how to cope.
I think many of us will identify with wanting even just five minutes back with our loved ones. I know some of our members have found starting a grief journal helpful in saying those things we want to say. We have some advice on journaling on our website: How to start a grief journal | Sue Ryder
I hope you find the community to be a support to you.
Take good care,
Seaneen
