It always happen to someone nearest left..it  last at least 2 years or 3. ..We can't do anything to bring them back ..those loving memories remain to us..so..mind is everthing u need to hold up urself..

Please try to keep ur mind busy and never try to be alone..just keep company alway with friend for atleast 5 ..6 month and see..to replace the space that took bye ur bro..

Answer 2

2 corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Seek God

Answer 3

Give your self more time for time does heal all wounds.  Yes you will always remember him and think of the special times you spent together.  You lived 24 years with him and it only took him a second to die.  Think about the 24 years not the one second.  He would not want you to go through life not being able to enjoy your life because he is not here in body.  I think that would make him very sad for you to be so miserable.  Go out more, find a new interest, don't dwell on the one thing you can do nother about.  Evidently God was ready for him.  God gives life and take it when ever he wants to.  For some reason, he wanted your brother in heaven.

Blessings!

I'm so sorry.

but i'm afraid it's going to get worse before it gets better.

eventually you'll move on with your life but he's always going to be there in the back of your mind.

Answer 6

Death affects so many people in different ways.

the best thing to do (and i no this sounds stupid) is to go to a therapist.

they can help you get through theses hard times and try to make them easier for you.

My friend was going through some really really hard times after her brother died and she was thinking about doing crazy things and was so depressed, when she started seeing a therapist she was becoming much happier person. It even stopped her from making a couple mistakes.

And when looking for a therapist remember take your time to find one you like, thats what my friend did and she found one she can really trust.

Answer 7

get a shrink.. they can talk to you about why your feeling like you do and help you get past it

Answer 8

my older brother committed suicide 13 years ago.  time does not heal all wounds.  time gives you the strength to bear the wound inspite of the hurt.  i will never stop missing him.  

Answer 9

Many of us hold on to the grief of loss due to it being an acceptable reason to FEEL crappy...

  Do NOT let the death of your brother be blamed for your current mood~  Instead. face what ever challenge you have been ignoring and better YOUR situation.  Then you will feel stronger.  In feeling stronger you will have learned healthier ways of coping and CONQUERING.

  You CAN do IT~

Answer 10

it is hard to have a dead sibling but what you can do is try to keep you self busy because when you are busy you don't think about any thing but what you are doing  ..

ps. if some one bites their nails or has bad habits this is a good way

to quit it if you smoke and you want to quit it chew gum when ever you fell somking..

Answer 11

I am so very sorry about your brother.  I wish I could say I know what you are going through, but I don't.  Have you talked to anyone or have you gone to a therapist?  I think talking is the best thing.  You could go to a group therapy session, I know it easier said than done.   I believe that once you go and keep going you'll start to feel like yourself again.  You need to move on with your life knowing he will always be close to you and you will never forget him.  Many prayers to you!
