Feelings!

med889 why not think about how good it will be to have your brother rehabilitated for whatever he is going there for, and give yourself a pat for knowing this will ultimately only help him and one day he will thank you for this. you did not tell us the reason he is going but we can assume its some habit or physical thing he needs to be helped to overcome some way. cheer up as time passes faster than you know aNd keep busy.

Hi, sorry to hear your friend has an addiction, I can sort of imagine your pain as I've through something similar with my older sister. All you can do now is hope for the best that it helps him. It may be a slow process but worth it in the end if he manages to get rid of the addiction. He obviously wants to do something about it since he's going into rehabilitation and he wants the best for himself too so just be there for him as he's already on the road to recovery. Good luck to both of you.

Hi, med889. Because he is your brother and you really love him. You two share an inseperable bond. You don't want to see him go away from you for this length of time. You are just missing him. Maybe you both can write each other letters from time to time. That could ease some of your loneliness away from him. Take care.

As you have no doubt discovered, adjusting to things like this take time. Have you visited or heard any news from your brother these past 2 months?

It is natural my friend, it shows your love for him, he has gone, he will come back sure, remember time is the best healer, you must take care of your self.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

I think that right now, you are going through the initial stage of missing him. You are obviously close to your brother, and you know that this is what is best for him. I think that maybe, a part of you is afraid that he is angry with you and your relationship will not be as close as it once was. As much as it is bothering you right now, keep holding on to that faith that things will work out just fine. He may not appreciate it right now, but the time will come when he does. In a sense, you are going through the grieving process. It will pass with time. In the meantime, be proud of yourself for encouraging and helping to lead your brother down a much needed path, and be proud of him for going to rehab. This journey has surely not been an easy one for you or your family. My best advice to you is to stay positve about the situation and continue to encourage your brother as he goes down the road to recovery. This road will, no doubt, will be bumpy at times, but at the end of that road lies a healthier family and more likely than not, a closer bond between you and your brother.

I am sorry to hear this, you should understand that if he is going it is for the better, You should not feel this way, but I understand that you will miss him, But remember that he is not too far and that he will come back soon. What you can do is to think about him and send him your warm wishes.

There are still many things you can do to your brother. Show your empathy for your brother by visiting rehabilitation center that's on a regular basis.

It's gonna wear off eventually. Just wait for it. :)

This is called feeling, and when my brother goout to work, I feel as you, so do I go to college!

It is human nature because you are missing your brother but you are also concern with his condition. Just think that what you have done is for his own good and in due time you can overcome that feeling of yours.

Well there is nothing much you can do but actually cry. This feeling that you have within will eventually go away but keeping it bottled up might make it take a longer time. So the best thing to do is cry and let time do the healing.

I can understand you.But anyway it's better for your brother .In these days you will miss him but just image that you will get a healthy brother after some while then you may feel little happy . Best wishes to you and your brother!
