Wolfie Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Yesterday afternoon I got a message from one of my younger brothers that our most youngest brother (age 43) was drowned in a boating accident in Florida. He had been "lost" from our family for many years having run away to "do his own thing" back in the early 80's. He did contact us though and told us he was starting a new life in Florida. He was married and has 2 children. It's very very sad, on top of a pretty "crappy" 2007 for us. What with friend's deaths, 2 other family member's deaths, and the evacuaton and fires, it's been a tough almost 10 months. This morning it has really hit me hard within the last hour and I want to go on and have fun, but I keep getting bashed down. Depression City is visiting me right now. I'm going to try and post as always, but it's getting harder. Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THmini2 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 {{{HUGS}}} I am so sorry that you have to go through this. My nephew did the same thing. I'm not even sure where he is now. He joined the carnival. But to lose a brother when he seemed to get it together (or at anytime). You have my prayers that things turn around for you soon.

mommymakesstuff2 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I am sorry to hear of your loss. My adopted brother got into lots of trouble and he is pretty much avoided by everyone because he brings trouble, usually innvolving the police, where ever he goes. It makes me sad for the person he has become. I sure do miss the summers of our youth with all six of us fishing off the pier. I understand how you feel it is as if you lost him once and now you have lost him again just when it sounds like he was coming home again. Maybe you can take this time to connect with is family and let then know about the times you enjoyed together before you lost him the first time. I am so sorry again. I hope that your heart can heal quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggi Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Having just lost my favorite older brother in January, and whose birthday was yesterday, I truly feel your loss. If you want someone to vent to, please fee free to vent here or to me thru a pm. I was fortunate and had a very strong relationship with my brother. I think several of us have had a very rough year and are looking forward to a better one next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petite Crafter Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Gina, we have had several deaths in our family, and 4 right now that have cancer. I know how it hurts, and how it can leave you feeling. Please take care, and try to remember all the good things, and overcome the depressed thoughts. It is extremely difficult to do, but given a little time, it will get ajust a little easier. One day at a time is how I try to get through it. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Take care of yourself. {{{Hugs}}}, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
