Sadly it takes many forms and has no timescale and visits unexpectedly. Let it in, acknowledge it, but don’t let it stay too long x "
Thanks. I keep picking up the phone to call him and then remembering again .. |

My Grandmother died on Christmas Eve '04.A few years before we had stopped doing the usual Christmas stuff,so going out for a walk and a picnic on Christmas day and watching the local hunt set off on Boxing day is normal and doesn't seem like a change since/because she died. |

So sorry for your loss. Grief is a terrible thing and nothing I can say will take away the pain you feel.
It may be a small comfort to realise that we grieve for those we love and if you could remember all the things that you loved about your brother it may help with the hurt.
I know it's hard to think of all the good things he brought in to your life, especially at a time when you feel cheated by the tragic loss of him but if you can think of how he filled you with his love it may ease how empty you feel from his loss.
Thinking of you right now, Mrs xxx |

End of January start of February is always difficult. My mother passed away at the end of January 7 years ago... But her birthday is 8th of Feb.
I'd never say this time of year gets easier...

Thanks, OP. My wife passed away in August last year and I think about her every day. Yes, the time of year doesn't help and I'm glad her decline was over spring and summer or it would have been so much worse.

Morning, sending love to all who are grieving. 6 Months nearly without my brother, and I just sobbed and sobbed for half an hour.. The permanent lump in my throat is just part of my life now.
Remember, there is no time scale for grieving, if death is permanent, then so is grief.. please don't feel pressured to keep it in. xx |

All you can do is live it.
It was the second anniversary of my mum's death recently. It's taken me that long for it to sink in.
There's no right or wrong way. |

The first year hits you the hardest, all the firsts.
Very wise words, grief is unique to the individual and the loss x |

A really good friend was tragically killed just a few days after getting the all clear from cancer ! Utterly broke my heart ! More so for his girls and wife. But really shook me to the core ! |

I lost a friend a few weeks ago to the cruel disease that is MND
To see someone who was the life and soul of the party losing control of his body, whilst his mind was still bright as a button was utterly heartbreaking |

Remember that those feeling also include joy, happiness and all those in-between that made him special in your life. Lost mine 2 years ago in July. His birthday would have been this coming Thursday so instead of feeling sad I go to a strip club and get a dance from a lady of the pole to honour his memory x
It does get easier x |
