Losing a sister and brother

We lost my eldest sister in 2004 at the hands of her partner. She was 24 years old. I’m the youngest of 5 and was 10 years old at the time. As a close family we have struggled through this together. A couple of years ago the evil man that took her was released from prison on license and this brought a lot of emotions back up.

Then unfortunately last month April 20th we lost our only brother in a motorcycle accident. He was 42. I’m really struggling to comprehend this has happened and it’s killing me having to watch my mum and dad especially, have to mourn another child. I have two other sisters both with families. I’m trying my best to be there for them but when I leave I’m home alone as I’ve no partner a live alone. Im struggling to grieve and feel the loss of my brother as im trying to help my mum especially grieve from a mothers perspective. I’m angry at the world for putting my family through this. I’m not sure what I’m looking for on here. Maybe someone that has experienced similar or could relate?
