Recently lost my brother suddenly and feel totally alone. Very low mood and crying all the time.
I am so sorry that you have lost your brother. I know exactly what you mean by feeling totally alone. My brother died suddenly a year ago. He was 14 months older than me so I’d known him my whole life. I adored him, I feel as if I have lost a part of myself. I feel alone without him, even though I have friends and places to go. I keep a photograph of him by my bedside. I wish I could find words to comfort you. Time passes and it doesn’t get better, but it just smoothes out the rough edges, a bit like wearing in a new pair of shoes. That sounds absolutely awful, but I mean you just become accustomed to your new life without him, although it isn’t the life you would have chosen. He will always be with you in your heart, and nothing can take that away.
Hello there, I’m so sorry for you loss your brother , I loss my brother in February this year , he was 58 he had lung cancer from when he was diagnose it was terminal and died 4 months later. I’m feeling very lost at the moment and very low and crying, I miss him and not sure where to go with this I’m thinking of counselling to try find the path of some help and I speaking to people l
Thank you for your comforting words. I still cannot believe i will never see my brother again. I thought time would help but hasnt done so far. I cry mysrlf to sleep and wake up crying. He is always in my thoughts. Little things remind me of him … a song … a smell …. a gesture .. and with xmas fast approaching i am feeling anxious. My sister in law is still in pieces and is still crying alot with very low mood bordering on depression. He wad such a wonderful adorable man. Life can be so cruel sometimes.
Hi Lisa thank you for your kind words. Unless you experience grief to the extent i have recently i do not think anyone really appreciates the emotions and dread you feel at losing a sibling. I know i never did til i lost my brother. My parents have passed so i have known griefbefore but this grief is so different. I was so close to my brother as was only he and I. I miss him so much and still cant belueve this has happened. I put in the armour for work and in public but insude i am in turmoil. I still cry alot usually when im on my own or out walking in the country with the dogs. My brother loved nature so i feel close to him when i go for walks. I visit the cemetery regularly but it does upset me to think he is buried there. I have photo of him near my bed and kiss him all the time. My husband and children have been great but there is nothing like having a baby brother. I love him so much.
