When I look at the four of us
in the photo of my study
my heart breaks a little
because one is no longer here.
Having lost a brother
is the most painful experience
I've ever had.
They say time cures old wounds-
I don't believe it
Cannot agree at all.
Missing him badly
after thirteen months
Quite the same-
as the first day
As the day they told us
Nothing could be done...
But while HE was here
living in misery and despair
At leat I could touch his hands,
Kiss him every day,
Look after him,
Love him and tell him
How much I did,
and do.
I always think
I should have told him
More often, though.
Now I look at the photo
and still cannot believe it
Being absolutely aware
Of this unfair truth
Kills me a bit everyday.

From the period when I waxed poetic, one of my efforts began:
"When one close to me has died
I die a little myself inside.
Parting does have it's sweet sorrow, And I will still cry tomorrow..."
Peace with you, Dulce Dear.
My heart goes out to you sweet, Dulce. Losing loved ones is devastating and as Steve has so beautifully said, "sweet sorrow"...
we cry...we heal...little, by little, by little...
much love~

Sorry, I deleted my comment I had an error...trying again.
Oh, dear Dulce, this post brought tears to my eyes!
I am so very sorry for your loss, your great loss of your dear brother!
May the memory of your brother always be a blessing!
I'm sending you a hug today ...
Sometimes it's nice
to get an unexpected hug
for no other reason than
just because someone cares ...
So while you're reading
these words
don't think of them
as just words ...
think of each one as a hug
to your heart from mine!

Oh My Dear Margie, how beautiful. You've also made me cry.
A sweet huge hug for the three of you:
Steve,
Calli
and Margie
I never thought I would feel so closely connected with people from other sides of the world (all of you from US)- I've never met you in person but feel as if I had. Maybe one day I'll fly there to hug you in person- by now I feel more than satisfied with your words, they touch my heart all the same.
THANKS A LOT! ;}
I lost a brother too, and a father, and a mother... Wooosshhh. Like a hurricane sweeping in my life. The only one I didn't totally lose was my father, who is close to God and close to us. My brother and my mother are alive, which makes the lost hurt much much more!
One philosopher said life is one death after another and we learn from each.
Death causes the living pain. It starts the grief process.
I have lost Mother, Father, Brother, Aunts, Uncles, dear friends and more. Every one hurt. Every one was grieved over .
But God gives us back the joy and the promise we will see them again.
losing a loved one .. i wonder if one ever gets over it.
beautifully expressed.
