Sorry to hear about the loss, dear.  My dad is still alive, but I lost my immediate younger brother (who was more like my twin) some years ago, and I guess I felt like you are feeling now too.  Time is really a great healer.  Don't try forcing yourself to stop thinking about him.  When you miss him so much, go to your room and think about him and how good he had been to you.  Cry if you have the urge to.  You will feel a great release after that.  Then wash your face, go out and chat with others.

It's never really easy to get over the loss of a dearly loved one, but like I said before, time is really a great healer.

Take heart, dear.

sorry to hear that.
it's very diffcult i must tell u because i lost my mother recently at a time i least expected.
now u get to see a lot of things diffrently.
i empathise
nothing anyone says can comfort u, people can only say sweet things to u at a time like this. there will be times u are alone and need someone to talk to badly or u just find out the tears can't stop rolling down.
talk to God he has wonderful promises for people that are hurt. he was my strenght at that time and i still enjoy his company till now.
try to get a copy of the purpose driven life. your life will never be the samw again once u've read that book
May God Almighty hold u in his arms and wisper his sweet and conforting words in your ears. Especially at night when all visitors are gone and u have this wide space left by the deaced.
things also get a lot better after the burial, it is then the realisation dawns on u. then u know it's not a dream. pull yourself together and make sure u are able to think and most importantly see through your tears. it's ok to cry it make u fell better.
I pray God will see u through this time.
do accept my sincere sympathy

i know how it feels like to lose a loved one. i lost a very close friend about 5 years ago and i couldnt sleep for days.
death is inevitable and we always pray it dosent take our loved ones. but if does, we can only pray god gives us the fortitude to bear the loss. i pray one day we can understand the things we can't contol
sexxxy, my heart goes out to you.

The pain,shock anger,disbelief changes with time,it becomes more  bearable.

Take heart in knowing he is in a better place. We all have to die one day but it is still very painful for the ones left behind to bear.

With time you will be able to think about him and smile and laugh(not cry as you do when it has just happened) and take joy from memories of the time you had with him
There will still be times when you miss him a lot.

His memory will always be alive in your heart.
May his Soul rest in Peace.Amen.

My sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family.
I lost my dad 4 years ago and the pain has not ceased.  I find comfort in knowing that he was an excellent dad. He made sure we were given the very best.

Try to remember the good times shared, the positive impact he has imparted and all his love for you guys.

God knows best, trust Him for everything.

You will br fine, trust me.  With time you will get better.

God bless!

@ sexxxy
 my sincere sympathy to u
 i was a victim of this circumstance, i lost my dad 6yrs ago running to 7yrs now and i must tell u there is still some thing that still flashes in my memory, the way he scold just for u to be a responsible man in life, the love, the care,   Sad but there is nothing u can do He is gone HE is gone, one have to move on with his or her life. He used to be a source of encourage to me and of which i still hold on to some.
  u know what some might say, we will be with you all along but i will tell u, its all lies.
  whenever u miss him or u feel grieve go to your room look up to that man up there and ask HIM to give u the grace to  bear it all.
  Life might be hard at times but we just have to accept it the way it is.
   Think about it but don't think about it too much because its hurts.

take good care of your self.
peace out.

 Accept my deepest sympathy sweetheart Cry, its wrong to say you know how someone else feels but i can imagine what you're going through because i lost my younger brother last two years and he was just three years old. He was sooo close to me that i never thought i'll survive without him, but here i am. Take heart my dear, God is alive. As they say time healeth all wounds and its true but don't expect to forget. There're still moments when i think of my brother and remember some special moments i had with him, sometimes i even drop some tears but i guess its just a sign that the person will always live on in your heart.¨

@cute, accept my sympathy on the loss of your brother. He was so young, at 3 years old? May his soul rest in peace, Amen. I lost a younger brother when he was 24 years old. I miss him very much. When you have a younger sibling, who looks to you as a mentor, and he surely did, it is only God that can sail you through. My brother and I were very close. He was so fond of me, as a baby, that at times, he would lie on my chest and fall asleep.

Thankyou sooo much for the sympathy, and accept my sympathy as well on the loss of your brother. as i said earlier, they continue to live in our hearts. Anyway God gave me another brother (check out my profile), not to replace him but to tell me its not the end of the world, and i love this one aaaaaaa lot Cool
