Jennifer posted a blog post4 years and counting. When does it get easier??
Tomorrow marks 4 years since my 32 yr old brother passed away from alcoholism. I vividy recall some days especially around now his body that day.. its etched in my mind. I have lived a full life and carried on. My heart and soul have not been so fast. 4 years and the pain is still like yesterday . I miss him so much. What is killing me is that while my family gathers tomorrow my other sibling always chooses to not take part in any family gatherings. He makes excuses to not come. It breaks my…See More

Jennifer posted a blog postTime sort of flies
Well been almost 22 months and I don't feel like much has changed in my way of grief. My parents are still crippled and i find it really hard to get near acceptance. I guess we don't get over death. With xmas here soon It breaks my heart. I'm not sure i will ever enjoy xmas the same for many years to come. I know that my brother would want me to live life to the max and move on. Im gonna do my best to do that one day at a timeSee More

Jennifer posted a blog postLoss
im sorry to hear of all the loss this week on this site. My heart goes out to all of you. It has been 18 months now and I am still struggling.. the other stages are normal, but acceptance i am still far away from. I pray that it gets easier like people say. It is all so bloody hard to process. I guess just accepting that it never does go away is the first stepSee More
Jennifer posted a blog post16 Months
Wow its been awhile. 16 months now since my brother passed away. I suppose on a daily basis it is easier, but overall my grief is so strong and present. I find it hard to accept that I will not see him again until I pass too. Time doesn't seem to make a big difference where the heart and grief are concerned. I miss him everyday and would give anything to have him back. Some people told me 16 months ago I would never be the same. I am not and probably wont be. The bubble i was living in seemed…See More

Coming up 5 years

Well next month it will be 5 years since my brother passed away from alcoholism at 32 years old. It feels crazy that amount time has passed... I think I may have been living in a bubble the first 2 or 3 years just managing daily life and trying to get through. Other people share that it gets easier ..... I cant say I agree. Although I moved on with life and have a great life, it has not remotely made a difference in the amount of pain I feel, or the fact that he inst coming back. It…

SO SORRY TO HEAR OF UR BROTHER'S PASSING & UR DIFFICULTY IN COPING. I TOO HAVE LOST SEVERAL LOVED ONES IN MY LIFE MOST RECENTLY MY SISTER. AFTER MY MOM AND DAD PASSED, I DIDN'T THINK I COULD GO ON. BUT WITK GOD'S GRACE & THE PASSAGE OF TIME U CAN ACTUALLY BEGIN TO RETURN TO A SEMBLANCE OF UR FORMER LIFE. NO IT WON'T EVER GO AWAY BUT IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T NAG AT U EVERYDAY. UR BROTHER'S SWEET SOUL MUST B IN HEAVEN & WHOEVER PERPATRATED CRIMES AGAINST HIM AS A CHILD WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE ALMIGHTY ONE DAY. MAY U & UR FLY BEGIN UR HEALING PROCESS AND SUFFER NO LONGER. BLESS U ALL.
SINCERELY
