Hi, everyone how are you all doing? Today is a very hard day as it was Easter last year I last saw my brother, my heart is aching so much today, I miss him so much.
I always took him an Easter egg even though he was 61 he always enjoyed his egg, didn’t get to see him that often as we lived as far apart but always at Easter.

Hi, I’m sorry you’re having a bad day. I’m struggling right now too, as it’s my first Easter without any of my parents and I also lost mum at Easter some years ago. Sending you hugs.

And thank you for this post as my Easter weekend is proving to be a bit sad and memories come crowding in. I feel so confused as I don’t understand where it all went and where everyone is. I have been through big losses and I find it hard to cope sometimes. This board and the people on it has been a real resource for me.

This is definitely a bitter sweet weekend, I am trying to find things to occupy me so I don’t think too much but it’s very hard. When I saw my brother this time last year, if I had thought for one minute it would be the last time I would see him I would have given him the biggest hug, he wasn’t really a hugger but we always did when we saw each other. I am just trying to think of the good times but still so hard, sending you hugs at this time try and keep your chin up and stay strong

It isn’t the same and it will never be again. That’s the hardest part.

I don’t know what I would do without this board. I have no one else to talk to about these things and how I feel.

me too, right now. the church set me up with a counseling friend but they have their own life. right now, I feel a lot of shame and so I hesitate to contact my other friend. I am friends with my mother’s friend but she has her own family. so I am alone this weekend which is very sad and I am rather a sad and pathetic person so I keep to myself, rather not to burden others so I am on here a lot this weekend, reading posting and seeking comfort.

Same , although I have a big family they live 200 miles away so don’t really talk to them, and find it hard to talk to my husband about it, he’s not from a close family and don’t think he really gets it

Yeah I get you, makes you feel so sad and so alone , there is always someone on here that will talk and understand which is one reason I joined

I also feel I don’t want to burden others and they do have their own lives and own problems. I can tell that they don’t really want to hear about it too, not even my sibling. It doesn’t exactly help with the loneliness.

It must be difficult to have them all so far away. I’m glad we all can be here for each other.

On this day last year we flew to Spain. It was our only proper holiday together. I wish I could have persuaded him to have more but he was always so conscious of making enough money to pay his rent etc, when in reality he was so ill that he could have claimed benefits. But he was too proud and he worked til he dropped. So proud that I had such a man.
