Loss of youngest brother

Losing a sibling
1

Hi all

I’m new here .
I lost my brother a mere month ago he was just 22 years old . He fought for 10 days and then sadly passed away . I miss him dearly .

Every new year within the 1st 15 mins he will always wish me a happy new year and this year I didn’t receive it . It’s the small things that trigger these emotions. I feel so empty and have sobbed myself into a panic attack .

I just really don’t like the thought of leaving him behind :sob:

Hello @Khadine ,

I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling so empty. New Year can be especially difficult when you are grieving and for such a recent loss the feeling will be very raw and painful. I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.

You might also want to have a read of our article Sibling loss: Coping with death of your sister or brother | Sue Ryder

I really hope you find the community helpful and a good source of support and I also hope you feel you can access more support should you need it.

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.

Take care,

Alex

I am so sorry to hear this. It is bad enough to lose a loved one at any time, but when it’s Christmas and New Year and everybody else seems to be celebrating, it just emphasises the pain. Sending hugs.
