      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I lost my big sisters in March 4th of 2026. Since then I don&#039;t like being alone. I hate horror movies. I used to love horror movies. I don&#039;t want nothing to do with any kind of death in any kind of movies. I hate the holidays as they come turning around. I hate Christmas. I don&#039;t wanna see Christmas come. I don&#039;t wanna see Halloween and I used to love Halloween. I hate living alone and I used to love living alone. It&#039;s just so different. I lost my baby brother 12 months ago. But it wasn&#039;t...<br />

I feel sorry for my brother who was her twin and my parents who lost their daughter, my mum also lost her dad 1 week before her daughter and she lost her mum 10 months before also. I dont think any of the family have really grieved properly and not sure we want to face it. Its too painful even now. Were just surviving this life now.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
My losses span several years.  My husband died seven years ago, followed by the loss of a dear friend a year later.  My mother died about 19 months ago, and I made the painful decision to help my 20 year old cat to die 9 months ago.<br />
<br />
I am just looking for a community of grievers who are willing to listen, willing to share and willing to love and support each other.  <br />
<br />
My life has felt rudderless for the last seven years. It’s been a blessing and a curse.  <br />
<br />
I hope anything...<br />

I lost my only brother on Feb 14th to Lung Cancer, I am heartbroken, I don&#039;t have any other siblings. He meant the world to me and lived here at our house. He&#039;s all I had, he was so caring, so kind and always looked out for me even though I am 3 years older.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[It&#039;s been 18 months and still feels like a bad dream that will change in the light of day. My brother and I grew up in the same town, had our own families and careers but always knew the other was there. Special occasions and holidays, phone calls and texts keep us in touch but he worked out of town so often that it became the norm to not see him for weeks, even a  month or 2 at a time. So when he unexpectedly became ill and passed away within a couple of days we were all in shock. Of course...<br />

I’m really struggling as he was my first best friend , we were always there for each other through the good and the bad. I know he wouldn’t want me to be so down and out but I’m stuck and can’t move on. I feel guilty for living life and him not getting to continue his. This really mentally messed me up and I really don’t know what to do at this point. I’ve never felt this...<br />

We had a few short months when it seemed things were going OK. Treatment and surgery were behind us and it seemed only good days were ahead. That lasted 6 months. <br />

Then we learned it had spread. Metastatic. I googled like crazy. Average life expectancy with his diagnosis was 4 months. He lived almost 4 months to the day. <br />

He had been struggling with an early case of Alzheimer’s, very upset because he was losing his cognitive skills.  He cried often about it, asking me to not leave him.  It broke my heart.   I imagine God called him home very early to avoid more pain.<br />

I&#039;ve done a lot over the years to cope, but this year a regional TV show in the south profiled my brother&#039;s murder with reenactments and a few names change.  It was surreal to see and brought up a lot of old trauma. <br />
<br />
The actor they hired nailed it, really captured my brother&#039;s mannerisms and how he talked. And in some strange way, my brother may of liked the idea of someone playing him... I just wish it was not about his most tragic moments.]]></content:encoded>
