my brother passed away at 40...he's such a workaholic person thinking his children's future. There is no day that I can see him resting but he always find a way to work to feed his wife and three kids...but now that he's gone!... The pain is still in my heart thinking of his family especially the kids...please God help them Lord to meet their needs. But we the siblings are working hard to help his family... I'm just sharing how painful it is for me ....can you share something?

That is so awful! I'm sorry that you lost such a good person in your life :( It sounds like he cared about his kids very much, and it sounds like he gave them a good future, whther he can share it with them or not. 40 is def. too young! I can not imagine losing someone so close to me. And the day I do I know my heart will shatter! But you have to know you are not alone, and won't ever be! He cared about his family so much when he was alive, and now that he is gone, he still does. Just keep his memory alive and he'll be with you forever! I'm sorry.

Buterfly how sad you must be feeling i have lost members of my family and know how you must feel .My thoughts are with his wife and children ,I cannot imagine how his wife must be feeling ,sad that her partener is gone waiting for the door to open and him to walk in.She would also be worried how she will manage financially as well as bringing up 3 children with no help or support. No-one to talk things over with regarding the children and just worried about how the children will cope without their father and trying to explain to them why daddy had to go away and where he has gone and why he won't be comming home. Butterfly your sister-in-law and the children will need you now more than ever and i am sure your brother knows that you will be there for them. Don't cry for him as he is in a better place and happy. Cry because you miss him, and cry for his wife and children as they will be lost without him or a while.Celebrate his life and his acheivementsand him for who he was.He will be lways by your side as he will be by his families side.Listen and you will hear him and be alert as you will feel him. I know my mother is by my side i feel her and hear.I will pray for all of you .God had better plans for your brother but we wish he didn't take our loved one from us so soon and that there must be someone else he could have taken, but he was the only person that could do the special job God needed him to do.Only the good die young .Take time to grieve but also take time to also remember all the good,funny,naughty,sad,mischievious, things he has done. Thinking of you and Gods Blessings

I am so sorry, my heart goes out to you. I can relate to how you are feeling. I too lost my one brother when he was only 37 years old. The only thing I can say is that time eventually heals the pain some. I will say a prayer for peace for you , and your brothers family. Know that people are thinking of you. Take care and try to stay strong, but remember it is okay to cry some too. All the best to you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear about your lost. I feel for his children as I lost my mother two years ago and I feel so debastated for my lost to think I'm old enough to handle my lost. What more lossing your father at an early age. I really can't help it. I'm getting teary eyes already. I will include your family in my prayers so you and your family will be able to surpass this trial.

I'm very sorry for you.And i pray for you and your family that the pain will go away even though it will take awhile. This summer i lost a dear friend just age 23 and every day is a struggle because of the missing. It's never easy to lose someone but it's sometimes harder to move on,but we can move on. I try to look at the future in a positive and that really gives me hope.

I am so sorry for your loss, butterfly. I wish I could say something to take away your pain, but I know from experience that there is nothing words can do. I am sending my positive thoughts your way and to your brother's wife and kids.
