Hi there, I'm new to this group.

I lost my brother to cancer almost a week ago and whilst I am relieved that he is no longer suffering, I am like a zombie just going through the motions, numb and unable to eat or sleep. We were so close and talked every day. He was my go to person if I needed help, he made me laugh if I was down and was always there for me and now he's gone. He was my brother, my friend and my hero. I don't how I'm going to cope or live without him.

  • Hi just reaching out to say I know how you’re feeling I too lost my little bro this month. He was taken too quickly and I’m going to miss him, his humour, our chats …but I have our memories. He’s in a safe and peaceful place now with my Mum.

  • Hi there,

    Its important to know you are not alone. I am so sorry you have lost your brother, I lost my sister aged 52 in December.  Although she is not suffering any longer we all are. I really do understand how you are feeling.  I go through a mixture of emotions, anger, resentment, such deep deep sorrow, and a feeling of being outside of situations, numb and trying to hide my true feelings from family and friends because I do not want to upset them.  I cant go to my sister to chat, laugh or ask for advice, sometimes I forget and think...Oh I will ask Elizabeth she will know what to do....then I remember.  I am not going to tell you it will get better, because none of us really know it will, or how long it will take, each person is different.  One thing I do know is, keep posting and reading other peoples posts because they have helped me realise, I am not the only person going through this, there are other people going through worse situations than me, but by all of us sharing our stories we are helping each other XXX

  • Hi there, thank you so much for your message. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you're coping ok and looking after yourself.

    I'm missing my brother terribly, he was my go to person and I miss our chats every day more than anything. I am lucky though as I do have loads of happy memories and happy times together.

    Please take care and I'm always here if you fancy a chat xoxHeartHeart

  • Hi there, thank you so much for your message. You've totally hit the nail on the head. You're feeling exactly the same as I am. I keep excepting the phone to ring and for my brother to be on the other end or something comes into my head and I think I must tell my brother that and then I get upset when reality reminds me that he's not there anymore. He was such a good  kind caring person and its just not fair. But I've many lovely memories of our times together.

    Please take care and look after yourself. Always here if you fancy a chat xoxHeartHeart
