      <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 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’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 />

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. I have never known grief like this, I have spoken to a therapist but I find that it&#039;s not helping tight now. I cry constantly.]]></content:encoded>

I have created a website explaining more about the project, my reason for doing it, and how others can get involved. Essentially the project is a book that will contain both stories of my own and those I have received from others, regarding significant losses in their life. There is more to it though than just the loss and the normal parts of grieving that we might think about. This is...<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>

I had not spoken to her in the past 2-3 yrs.  She pushed me and my family away.  We found out that she committed suicide.  She left no note or anything for her daughter, my parents or me.  I miss the sister I had before drugs took her years ago but don’t miss the selfish, nasty person she became.  Is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time?]]></content:encoded>
