Good Bye My Sweet Brother

My brother just passed away and not only was he my brother but my best friend.

He just turned 40 and just had a 2nd grandchild.

People try to make you feel better by saying things such as. Its Gods will. Hes in a better place etc. Frankly I know these things and it does NOT take the paon away!

Lets be honest. We grieve for our loss, all those words don't make it better.

The words do not bring them back or stop the hurt, most of us know they are in a better place. I also know he is up there with my other brother, father and the grandson we lost a year ago. My heart still hurts and the HUGE void in my life still is alive as God in Heaven.

I will never see him or hug him or hear him call me on the phone. That is what i know.

The pain is more than I can bear. The lost a void I can not fill. I have never felt such pain or loss. The pain for all of us still here is real.

Death , whether natural, accident , murder or suicide leaves pain to all left, words or explanations do not change the fact of our loved one being gone from our mortal lives.

I wish I could say something comforting, but I know what you mean about words being useless. I'm so sorry you lost the brother you loved so much.
