Coping with the loss of a sibling is probably the most difficult things in our lives. But all the same, I believe we must to pull ourselves together and move on with life. Mental and physical pains, grief, and heartaches are the few emotions we normally go through at the stage of bereavement. I felt like the whole World would crush on me some months back when I lost my kid brother in a domestic fire accident. Now it's 5 months since he is gone but I really can't get this off my mind and am just wondering if there is a way to deal with this, kindly share if you know what could help. Thanks.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. The only thing I can think of right now is that you go to the his grave whenever you miss him and share your feeling with him... Be strong for him. I'm sure he will be with you...

I am so very sincerely sorry for your loss and hope and pray for you during this difficult time. I suggest talking to people you love and trust including others who knew him and remembering the bad and the good. I also suggest allowing yourself to grieve in whatever way works for you and to consider seeking counseling.

Firstly so sorry for the your loss much condolence to you friend. Yes a younger sibling it would be even worse as this is way before time to leave this world. I am sorry for the fire too. RIP your dear brother. I hope you get to feeling okay, you will often think of him naturally. It is natural to grieve...maybe talk here and talk as much as you want anytime.

You have maybe been told this already, but God loves you and your family very much. When you think about your brother each day, pray and ask the Lord to help you heal, from this tragic, painful loss. Believe it or not, he DOES hear our prayers! Not only that, God will also answer and pour out his love on you:)

Yes it is difficult and painful to lose a sibling or anyone part of your life and close to you. The only way to cope is to remember the good times you had with your brother and with time you will be able to come to terms with your loss ..

I can feel you, my friend. It is also a feeling when I lost my late father 4 years ago. It won't go away but acceptance is the key to move on. We still need to live because there are a lot of people who still need our support.
