Apologies if I not on right group to air this ,but think need someone talk to
My brother passed away ,unfortunately it were sept he passed, but to make it even worse it were only end of November found out ,due to being estranged, found out by Google of all ways
I apologise if upsets anyone but the nxt bit some may not be overly great to hear but he had a drug addiction ,
Although talking today to someone, he didn’t even know he had a issue,
I honestly dont know how to feel ,
Feeling empty lost ,as I was last living relative due to both parents gone too
When you say you don’t know how to feel, it seems to me that you are already feeling a natural and deep empathy for this person. Send him good thoughts everyday and don’t forget him.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother, @Gizzy. You’re not alone; we have many members who have lost a sibling due to drug addiction. You can read some of their posts here.
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 as a sister that’s how it does feel, even if there were other relatives around, it’s quite a lonely feeling. Doesn’t matter if you were estranged or saw each other daily, what I’m finding out is a siblings grief is very difficult to navigate. Keep talking and being kind to yourself though. Tough days, good days or just days, you still need to heal x
