3 Years ago My brother, Ben, Passed away unexpectedly. hes was 27 years old, had a 2 year old son and his wife was expecting. Now that the holidays are cooming around i feel more empty than usual. you see my brother was the heart of the family and everyone wanted to be like him. there isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of him and miss him dearly. but everyyear around holidays i seem to enjoy it less because he is no longer with us. don't get me wrong i enjoy being with my family but i feel like i have to fake my way throught he holidays because i miss Ben. Have you ever been in a situation like mine? if so, what do you do to cheer yourself up?

So sorry to hear that kaylexful! I feel for you. I know how you feeling, I also lost my mum last year and i was so down and depressed around the holidays. To top it up her birthday is around this time. Actually there was nothing i could do last year to cheer myself up, the family tried to go about the events as we used to every year but it was just not the same. There was this big emptiness. And i can see this year being the same. Hugs to you buddy!!!

i'm sorry about ben, i know what a loss it's been to u. i lost my sister in 1962. she was killed in a car wreck. all i can tell u is time makes it easier to accept. i doubt if there is a day that goes by that i don't think of her still. she was the only sibling i had . i know exactly how u feel. take care.

I'm really sorry to hear about your brother. My heart goes out to you and your family. It always makes me sad to hear of stories like your brother. It's always sad to hear of people who die very young and live being spouses/girlfriends/boyfriends, family, and especially young children.
