I recently lost my brother after a two year terminal illness. I reflect and realize I was in denial and the rapid turn to death somehow blind sided me. I feel lost, heart broken, and like I failed my brother. This pain is immense but I have to keep it together for my elderly mother because I made a promise to my brother to take care of her.
Hello and welcome to the community. Everyone on here have lost someone special and we all know just how you feel about the loss of your brother. How nice for him to know that your mum will be looked after and it is common for us to put that brave face on so our loved ones don’t know what we are going through. It may help to talk to someone, just. to let your emotions out with someone who can help explain a way forward. Both Cruse and Sue Ryder have counselling which is free and I am sure it will help even if you have had counselling earlier. Please think about it, I know it’s not for everyone. Look after yourself and give your mum an extra hug from me. S xx
