Can't stop crying

Some days I just cannot stop crying. My only brother died 2 years ago, and I still cannot get past his death. I miss him so much. I take anti-depressants, I go out side in the sun and mess around my yard, but the sadness just overwhelms me. My brother was only 42 when he died. I'm almost 42, and I feel guilty that I'm alive and he is not. I'm not going to go see a shrink, I guess I just wanted to tell someone of my sadness. I keep it all inside, I don't want my Mom or Husband to see it all the time. I'm looking at his picture right now, and just want a big bear hug that he use to give me. I have to go through all the pictures and cards, etc. that he ever gave my Mom for the law suit, and it is hurting real bad right now. God I just want him back.
Thank you for letting me ramble. - phxmtngirl

Re: Can't stop crying

I understand the grief you must be experiencing right now. Five years ago I lost my only sibling, an older sister, at the age of 48. It was almost too difficult for me to believe that it actually happened. It was a very difficult time for my parents and myself. We brought some of her possessions over to our house, including a touch-tone lamp and a VCR. My mother put the lamp in her bedroom, and I hooked up the VCR in my room. In the first couple of weeks following my sister's death, that lamp had actually turned on all by itself on at least two occasions. And on at least two occasions, while I was watching TV, the VCR began making clicking noises, as if the play and stop buttons were being pressed. And the funny thing is, the VCR wasn't even turned on. I can't explain how these things happened. All I know is that they had happened. My sister always was somewhat of a prankster, and maybe this was her way of letting us know that she was alright. Who knows? All I know is that somehow I felt more reassured that she was alright, and was now in a better place. In time your burden will lighten, and you can rest assured that someday you both will be together again. I hope this helped.

Re: Can't stop crying

my brother died a year ago and I never cried. We were really not close but I think I'm just not a person that cries with death, I dont understand why that is. I seem to cry for such silly things but I do not cry with deaths. Is there something wrong with me? When my brother died I was so overly worried about my mother. All my attention was concentrated on her suffering..

Re: Can't stop crying

Phxmtngirl,

I know the past two years have been very hard for you. Losing someone we love is not easy. My father and grandmother died several years, ago and I understand the loss you feel.

The thing that helped me was to realize they were in a better place where they are no longer sick and their lives are richer and happier than they have ever been. As much as I miss them, I know that it would be selfish of me to want them back here on earth. There is peace in knowing that one day they will meet me at the gates of heaven and I will then be with them for eternity.

I believe our loved ones are with us in spirit. I have seen evidence of that in my life. Its just gentle reminders that they are with us.

If your brother was here he would wipe away yours tears, give you a BIG BEAR HUG. He would want you to be happy and live life to the fullest.

I pray that God will bring you peace and acceptance in the days to come.

God bless and keep you.....
