I lost my oldest brother at the age of 29 and I am really having a tough time and I just turn 30 when I think bout him I think pain and sometimes feel I can’t move forward…… it’s just not fair! it doesn’t make sense at all. He was healthy active fit. fun outgoing lovable guy!! He was a big kid at heart!!!! It was so tragic and so unexpected for me and my parents… The news!!!! and It’s been tough to talk bout it… I’ve gone to compassionate friends group few times, grief group… I’m starting to think being in groups I’ve experience is not giving me the results I want. I don’t like to talk bout his death and don’t know where to begin. I have lot of bottled up emotions!!!!!! I appreciate your encouragement. I’ve been listening to grief videos. meeting with friend finding ways to relax but we don’t talk bout my brother it’s hard to talk to someone bout him. wo frustration, being sad or wanting to cry a lot.
