Hello everyone, Hope you are all doing ok, I been joined here since i lost my only sibling my younger brother in Feb 2023 to lung cancer secondary to sarcoma in his leg. I have tried everything, councelling, anti depressants, but my grief is here to stay, he was all i had, lived here at home, just me and him, i lost my best friend and my rock. I have friends who are so kind but life goes on for them, one friend comes by every day, she lives nearby. I suffer panic attacks, no dr will prescribe any anxiety pills though. I feel all alone sometimes especially after 6pm. I have no interest in socialising i dont drink or smoke, I like TV and my tablet (computer not pill 
)
I hate when people say when the weather gets brighter you will feel better, it doesnt work like that, it wonāt bring my dear brother back. I have terrible health anxiety since my brother died, i am cancer survivor of 20yrs and always took care of myself but since his death, i have a terrible fear. Hope this message isnt too long for the forum. Thank you all for taking time to read it. Its a lovely group.
Hello @Norm62,
Iām so sorry about your brother. It sounds like things are pretty tough for you at the moment. Youāre not alone.
Iām just giving your thread a gentle, ābumpā as I can see it was posted a little while ago - Iām sure someone will be along to offer their support 
Thank you very much Seaneen
So sorry to read your post. I havenāt lost a brother but I have lost both my parents and have been widowed twice. My second husband passed away last year not long after my Mother. I feel completely heartbroken . I havenāt found that previous experience has made the loss any easier. Also, I donāt think that it matters which relation you lose, itās the
relationship between you and the person you have lost. In some instances you may be closer to a friend than a relation.
I find this forum very helpful because nobody is judging you or expecting you to
āmove-onā. Whenever it all becomes too much I find engaging with those who really understand on here very helpful.
I hope my words may be of some comfort to you.
Hello Beryl 1B
Thank you so much for your kindness and lovely words. I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your devastating losses. This group is wonderful for sure, you can contact me anytime you wish. Grief and loss is terrible and you having had so many, i had some friend and relations pass away too over the years but losing my only sibling nearly finished me. It can be so lonely, as he lived with me, he was such a kind person. I doubt I will ever get over his loss. Donāt hesitate to reach out here anytime and again Beryl 1B thank you so much. Stay strong.
