I
can't believe I have not shared this story yet. It is painful for me to talk about so until I saw this group I had debated on whether or not to share my story. My younger brother died June 11, 2000. He was only 23 yrs old at the time of his death. We were very close and I thought I knew most of his secrets. Well almost all of them. I was at home when a call came in from my mom. She told me to sit down because she had some very bad news. I said what is it? She told me my brother had stayed the weekend with a friend and his friend had found him dead that morning in his bed. I asked why what happened? My mom told me he had overdosed on heroin! I could not believe this! My brother used to freak at getting blood drawn! I knew he smoked pot but I had no idea he was into anything heavy like heroin! I became physically ill when my mother finished telling me. It was like a very bad dream! I still can't believe to this day that he is gone forever! I really miss him!

  | Posted Jun 4th, 2007 at 5:03PM I lost a brother too in 1999 to a car accident. Sudden loss is the worst kind. You never get to say goodbye. I know what you mean about it feeling like a bad dream. I was awakened by my parents and the county police were in my house at 5 am. It was the worst wake-up of my life and I felt unable to comprehend what happened. Let me know if you ever want to talk.   |

 | Posted Aug 15th, 2007 at 12:08PM Much Respect to you and your family. I also lost a brother, he was on drugs and was trying to get out of that scene when he died. He use to always tell my mum he was getting clean, but he always gave into temptation, the last time we saw him he told our mum he was clean, she laughed at him... she didnt believe him at all, when his autopsy came back he didnt even have pot in his system, that eats mum up everday that she didnt believe him. Some people think that because certain people took drugs than they deserve to die, i been told this about my own brother, Junkies and drug addicts normally resort to drugs from pain they are hiding, they are still brothers and sons and fathers, my brother was raped while he was in jail for a petty crime, we found this out after he was already an addict.. I wont say that i know your pain, coz i hate people saying it to me, although i do know what you are going through.. take care of your self.. try to celebrate his life, instead of mourn his death, it sometimes helps me. |
| Posted Aug 15th, 2007 at 12:14PM i forgot to add that your brother died exactly 2 months after mine, your brother passed on my birthday.. ive never celebrated a birthday since my brother passed, it was to close to my birthday. |
 | Posted Nov 5th, 2008 at 1:12PM my brother died in a 3-wheeled atv accident when he was 16 years old he was learning how to ride at the time. Everyone thought he was in school that day so it was a complete shock when the cops showed up to the house.. It was 9 days after my birthday. I still am not over it and it happened over 8 years ago. He was my best friend in the world. Im sorry for everyone elses loss I know how hard it is. Espically on special days that mean so much and other people just dont understand it feels like your alone sometimes. at least for me it does. |
