A year ago I lost my brother in a sudden accident. He was just finished helping his biking group out and was riding home. All of a sudden a 16 year old boy recieved a text message, and while answering it, swerved and struck my brother. My brother died instantly, doing what he loved, riding his bike. I am trying to get idaho to put in state wide laws to stop people from texting while driving. THe boy lost his liscence for a year and only got 10 days in juvy. My brother was the 3rd biker killed in Idaho in 2 weeks. My Brother left behind a 2 year old daughter and young wife. He was my last family member, and I feel completely alone. I have no support group. I miss my brother terribly, and think about him alot. I wish I could share his pain. I have so much trouble writing this. My brother was incredible, he was a father, a vetran, and freind. We shared in each other's joy. I've lost my parents, but this is much harder. If anyone knows of a support group around Portland Or, it would really help, I really need someone I can relate to, and I think that would help.

How can I deal with the death of my father when I feel that I didn't do as much as I could have? I live in Cuyahoga Falls, and my dad lived out in Doylestown. I didn't get out there as much as I would've liked to due to my work and the distance, but that didn't mean that I didn't care. My youngest brother dealt with all of dad's problems, probably partly because he could afford to do so. I just have a hard time dealing with this, because I feel all alone. Is there anyone that might have had the same experience, and could tell me how to deal with my feelings of inadequacy? Any replies will be appreciated. Thank you. Kimberly Bender

Kimberly -

I am so sorry for the grief you are going through with the loss of your Dad.
We will all feel that there is more we could have done and we all feel we could have spent more time with the one we loved and has now passed.. You are not alone. I think you have answered your own questions - you live farther away than your brother, you had to work and your brother had more money to be available and take care of your Dads needs.. Don't feel guilty about any of this - you have done nothing wrong just be thankful to the Lord that your Dad had your brother there through his hard times.. What a blessing this was not only for your Dad but for you and your brother.. You can have peace knowing your Dad was well cared for by someone you love, trust and could depend on during your Dads rough times.. Your Dads presence is with you Kimberly and you will see signs of this. Dad is at perfect peace now and he wants you to be at peace too.. Yes - we will miss our loved ones through this life but in paradise is where we will meet again forever more.. Blessings to you - you are in my thoughts and prayers..

I buried my son yesterday. He was 44, married with two children 7 and 9. He was a loving, kind, generous and very sweet person, wonderful husband, son and Daddy. He died suddenly with no warning to us and we just cannot understand it.
I am numb and sick to my stomach, I can only take one minute at a time. I need to understand what happened but have to wait for the official autopsy report to be complete before I have any chance of understanding, maybe not even then. I just can't function, my head is pounding, my heart is broken, my stomach is sick. How do I get to a point where I can even function in a useful way again? How do I get through this, how do I help my grandchildren who can't understand why they lost their Daddy?
