After birth we have one guarantee: death. And still it is painful and often times shocking when, within our circle, someone departs physically, leaving behind memories held together by heartfelt emotions and feelings of love. Even though you have had 60+ years living alongside your brother, it's never enough. Your heart is in pain, so I wish you healing; you will always have joy in your heart thinking about him.
Oh no Elizabeth. This is so shocking and sad. I wish I could give you a hug. Your brother sounded so awesome. I know the area he lived in ( we had a second home in NH) and the people there are just the salt of the earth. He sounded so giving and lovely. Much love to you and your family.
Oh Betsy, my heart goes out to you, big-time. Sending so much love, empathy and heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Take good care of yourself. Lovelovelove.
I can’t imagine the pain you are feeling. While I don’t comment often on social media, I do read your posts and think of you and Ed often. I am so so sorry for your loss. Paula
I am so sorry for your loss and your sorrow, Betsy. May you find comfort in family, your memories, and the love that surrounds you. My prayers for your healing and peace.
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. Let your memories of him and your lives together comfort you during this time where the pain seems unbearable. {{Hugs}}
Dear Elizabeth, my sincerest heartfelt condolences for the loss of your brother. I can't say I know what that feels like for you. Because your brother is unique, you are unique, and so is your relationship.
The only place I can speak from is the overwhelming experience of grief and disbelief and shock I felt when my youngest brother died. We were a gang of five too. Four brothers and me.
From what I read between your lines I know, your brother will always be with you. The pain may never go away, but the bond will never be broken 💕🙏
Oh Betsy I'm catching up on newsletters and seeing this for the first time. I'm so sorry for your loss. You will be surrounded by love, no doubt, with your big wonderful family. Grief is inevitable, I suppose - I hope yours is bearable. 💚
