I lost a brother....
Marc, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. Regardless of the closeness of the relationship, there is nothing that can take the place of the bonds of siblings.
My brother died when he was 42, and my sister just died last month at 61. My brother was estranged from our family, while my sister cherished her family and died at Mom's house while we circled the bed, holding her hands and touching her. Both deaths ripped me apart.
My heart is aching for you as you go through this time. Please know that it does get better and the pain lessens. I'll have your brother (and you and your family) in my prayers tonight. Lean on us and talk about it if it helps. I know that the support of my OFF family was a great comfort to me.
We're here and we are thinking about you.

Marc,
I am so sorry for your loss, I completey understand. I am a young adult of the 60's myself. I was lucky to go onto the 70's with just alcohol and didn't brings the drugs with me...I left them in the 60's....those are great years, the 60's and 70's and I am so sad that young people now couldn't experience those days.... not meaning the drugs, but the people and the music.....what memories I am having right now......
Again, so sorry for your loss Marc.

Marc, I am so sorry for your loss
. My only sibling, a brother and I haven't spoke for many years. He is 5 years younger and got into the drug scene both using and selling in the 60's.
Don't beat yourself up, we all manage our lives differently and with God's help he will see you through this hard time in your life.Beth

No matter the time or circumctance he was still family ....grieving is normal, each of us does it in our own way .... if our being here if only to "listen" helps then by all means .........hugs and a virtual holding of your hand are coming your way.....
I wrote the following years ago after losing both my folks ( I'm an only child) and husband( of 23 yrs) within a 3 yr period....hope it helps a bit.
My body gone, my life complete.
Others have gone before me to light the way.
Do not over sorrow, weep only for today.
I've gone on to them, so wish me well.
Bringing with me - oh so many tales to tell.
I've left behind all worries and pain,
Now lifted to an altogether new plane.
I've joined with those we've held so dear.
In your hearts and memories, I'll always be near.
Think of me smiling, at peace, and now content.
I lived and I loved and I did, as was meant.

Aloha Marc......I just logged on and yours was the first post I read this early morning. Two thing**** me at once. First, the sadness at losing a brother so young, and second, the fact that he and your sister lived on Kauai and that drugs took yet more good people in Hawaii. Maui is losing way too many people to the damned "ice"....it is everywhere, and seems to have the power to bring the best and the brightest to their knees.
My sadness is deepened when I see the babies affected by their mother's drug addiction all too often as I test their hearing at the hospital.
I wish I had a magic wand to wave that would take away your pain, and replace it only with happy memories of good times past. Know that you are loved right here in this little family.
Aloha nui loa,
Maui Karen

Marc, sorry this is so late!
I am so sorry about your brother. Just try to remember the good times.
I have three brothers that live for away and I don't get to see them. Not sure if anything happened to them, I would hear from anybody. That is sad. I try to send Christmas cards each year and keep in touch a little, but don't always hear back from them. I guess I finally have gotten tired of always being the one to try and keep in touch.
Really out of seven brothers, there is only one I keep in touch with a lot and it is probably only because of his wife. She is more like a sister to me. One of my brothers passed away and I didn't get to go to any service for him. He was cremated and they never did anything for him.
I hope your sadness ends soon, but it just shows how much of a caring person you are.
My thoughts are with you.
