I’m praying 🙏 for comfort and 🙏for strength, and support and kindness from those around you as you work through your grief. The first year seems unrelenting in my experiences, but hang on and remember that you will see him again. Memories are comforting, especially when sharing them.

I lost both of my children. My son when he was 22 and my daughter when she was 30. The journey you're on is difficult and very personal. Breathe. Keep moving. Just set you goal to complete one day at a time, waiting for the pain to let up enough for you to get a deep breath. It will get better, then worse, then better. It will never be "done", but you will become adept at handling the ups and downs. Big hug to you. May the Lord bless and keep you and yours.

Very few posts hit me like this one did… thanks for sharing something so personal but also a reminder that life is too short and family should be always treasured.
Thanks for making me book this flight to Portugal to my sister’s wedding which I thought about skipping due to work/life commitments.
Hope you get back stronger. Take care 💐

David princess, I was having a pity party, and then read your post. Thank you for taking the time to be transparent. We care about you, and it is evident that you are a caring person. Please accept my condolences on the too early loss of your beloved brother. I am truly sorry. This has to feel like a gut punch. May wonderful memories of your brother, the expectation of the resurrection, and the love of friends and family give you comfort now and forever. 🙏🏽☀️
What a wonderful guy you married, and he is fortunate also.

Sorry to hear about your brother. I lost my Mom and cousin to heroin. It's the unexpected ones that seem to hurt most. Grieve in your own way. Bless

oh, "Princess", I am so sorry for your loss. I sort of understand, but not completely...the emptiness you feel, and inability to concentrate. Each of us grieve in our own unique way. I
lost my brother the end of June. Praying for you and your family. We are a Christian family too, so I know we will see our brothers again. 😪🙏

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My brother passed away about a year ago and it sounds like we are a similar age. Remember all of those happy times. I found comfort in old photos too. Hugs.

I'm sorry. Sending prayers . I agree It is hard to understand how ppl can get hooked on stuff that is so addictive.

You guys- your comments are so touching and the losses everyone is sharing- I am overcome with emotion- I can't think of the words I am trying to say- just hearing other's stories- even though some are so much more sad than my own- it isn't comforting- I don't want to say I am comforted by others' losses- but to know I am not alone and everyone knows (somewhat) what it is like- it means a lot. And those of you posting about losing kids- I cannot fathom. I would die, I think. I'm so sorry for all of your losses, too and I thank you for sharing with me. I know that life goes on and I know I need to live it and make the most of it because each day is a blessing. I appreciate all of your prayers so much! Thank you, again... It means more than you know to hear from all of you- some of who I feel I "know" from fs and some I don't know at all. Thanks for commenting and sharing. I sincerely mean that. 💕

I’m so sorry for your loss! My cousin passed a few years ago and we think accidental as well but it was sleeping pills (he hadn’t been sleeping well for weeks) antidepressant and beer. It’s hard no matter how it happens. As for your weight I think your mental health is more important right now. I’m the type to not eat when upset and family harass me about it. It’s too much trouble to worry on that when just getting through the day is hard enough! You do whatever you need to right now.
