"Jennifer.
I lost my brother at the age of 32 almost a year ago next week. It is not an easy journey. People on this site have had some time and as we all heal it may get easier. I feel just as grief stricken now as i did almost 365 days ago.…"

Jennifer posted a blog postFirst Christmas without my Brother
Monday its been 10 months since my brother passed away from Alcoholims. He had just turned 32. The process of grief has been so hard and overwhelming. Ive always been emotional and spiritual. Some days its feels like days ago that this happened. I still drive by his old apt and just sit there staring in like i may find something. With xmas around the corner I am finding it so hard to want to even deal with this holiday. My last xmas i had to ask my brother to leve as he showed up intoxicated…See More

Jennifer posted a blog posttime doesnt seem to help much
been 8 months now and it feels like it just started. i cant get over why and all the other emotions that go with why. It is so hard to accept my brother is never coming back. I miss him so much. Everyday we spoke and the last 8 months just seem like it was yesterday. Time has been frozen since the day he died. I read other posts and people seem to say that over the years it gets easier. Hoe does you EVER let go, or come to acceptance? i feel so much sadness annd aching right now. See More
Jennifer posted a blog post7 months tomorrow
Well its been 7 months tomorrow since my brother Mike died. He just turned 32 a week before his death. It is impossible to believe its been 7 months. I feel like nothing has changed in way of my pain and grief. I keep thinking this week about the day he died and seeing his body and getting the call. I know that he is at peace and that makes me glad. I also know we are spiritual beings living on earth and leaving is going home. I just cant seem to get past the fact that i wont see hime again…See More

Jennifer posted a blog postStill So broken
Well its been 5.5 months and this past week i cannot seem to find a way out of my pain. I had a realization that my brother is not coming back. EVER,. I then started to think that if his soul reincarnates then he is gone from me forever and it makes me insane. My heart is so broken. I miss him so much. Loggin on here and seeing the pain is the only place that feels like im truly not alone in agony. I know he is free and not suffering, but i am now. Still wondering what the meaning of life…See More

- DEAR JENNIFER
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
JO ADAMS
