Well...as most of you know, I lost my brother last year. Well....I'm having a rough night and I was wondering if I could get some advice?


Also, does anyone else feel like the person who died could come back anytime...but since you barried their body, they won't?

I'm sorry for your loss Kayla. That's obviously something very hard to overcome in life since it doesn't happen to everyone, but know that you are not alone. I know that's the most cliched advice you could give someone, but you just aren't. He may not be with you physically, but he's always there with you. He lives in your mind and if he does in your heart, he'll be there with you. Although I'm not the one who can say how close you guys were, but you always have the memories shared with him if he made a pretty good sized impact on your life.

I've had quite a fair share of my people in my life who have passed. Do I feel like they will come back? I can't say I exactly feel this way. Once someone's dead, in my eyes, they just aren't coming back. And if I wasted my time trying to reach that point where they were back, in the end, I'll have only failed myself if I wasted that much agonizing time and energy over someone I cared about dearly. It might make the memory of that person more blurry and insignificant. Those are only my views, but I hope they helped in some way. :)

I definitely feel that way, Kayla. I feel as though a burial seals their fate forever even though I know they'd never come back regardless. I often wish they could be back and that I could see and talk to them again and it sounds like you do too. What helps me is thinking of what that person would have wanted. Your brother would want you to be strong, he would want to for you to keep your head high during nights like these and he would want you to be the happiest you could possibly be. Don't get lost in the sea of overwhelming emotions, Kayla, think of what he would have wanted!
Hope this helped, you're strong and you can do it. :)

I suggest to just go out side if it's not too cold and chill. Hang out for a bit. Or watch a movie. I really am not that good at these type of issues. But I truly feel bad for you and hoop you can pull through this. If I lost my sister, I would be absolutely positively devastated. She's saved my life.
Much love and respect your way.

My nurse told me today that a little dirt and a casket can't stop God from bringing him back, but he definatly won't.
