I lost my only brother,in a road accident just 2 months after my marriage.My mother and husband were also in the car and had multiple fractures.I was completely gone as I was very close to my brother.I felt as if I have lost the one who used to love me the most.I used to cry in bathroom or when I was alone,as my husband and mother were to be taken care of.My brother had come to meet me for the first time after my marriage.He was to take a flight in the morning.That day in the evening my neigbour's son took my brother and husband for drinks.My husband and brother had beer but that boy was completely drunk.At night my brother was to catch a bus.When they came back I told my mother that I will drive and drop him to the bus stand.But she said u stay at home and we will go.I had no idea, that,that boy will take his car and will drive.The moment I went to the balcony and saw him taking his car,I felt something wrong.Then I saw my husband's mobile on the table and thought how will I come to know whether my brother has boarded the bus.
Then at 11:30 at night I called my father to tell him that they have left for the bus stand.I was feeling sleepy so closed my eyes,but exactly at 12:03,I felt sombedody shook me,I got up and called on that neighbor's no.and he told me about the accident.
It has been more than 3 years and even today I think,maybe If I would have taken my car to drop him,my brother would have been with me.

How horrible for you! We can't know in advance that something terrible will happen, though, so try to remember that you had no idea, and none of it was your fault. Many people believe we are destined to die at a certain time, and that's not going to be changed by anything. If they're right, nothing could have stopped it. I hope you'll be able to let yourself settle this in your mind before long. You could neither haveknown nor interceded.
May God bless you and bring you serenity.
