No one tells you what it’s like to lose a sibling. No one tells you it feels like suffocating, like there’s a weight on your chest that never quiet subsides. I feel it every day.

No one tells you how unimportant everything else seems in comparison.

No one tells you about the guilt. The what-ifs, the things you could have said, the questions you never asked. No one tells you about the moments you realize you didn’t know enough about them and about what they think and who they were.

No one tells you about the avoidance. It’s numbing. It’s easier to pretend nothing happened, to speak about him as if he’s still here.

No one tells you how overwhelmingly impossible it seems to try to imagine a time where this doesn’t hurt. To imagine a day where you don’t cry. To imagine what it’s like to feel whole again.

No one tells you that when people say you’re strong, it makes you feel weak. That your strong exterior really comes from failure to face the pain and an assortment of unhealthy coping mechanisms.

No one tells you these things because there’s no warning for your sibling’s death. There are no cushions for the blow. Because no one expects to live the rest of their life without them.

Missing you today and everyday !! It’s been a little over 2 years and feels like yesterday RIP 9/4/17
You're still here in my heart and mind,
still making me laugh because your stories live on.
I hold you in a thought and I can feel you. I feel you and this gives me strength and courage. The tears I have cried for you could flood the earth, and I know you have wiped each one away. For you Brother, I promise you this, I will go on with my life and make you proud. I will always hold you in my heart. I promise you I will be missing you every day till the end of time, but this is not my end and I can't hold my head underwater. I need to breathe. I need to love and miss you, but I also need to live because through me you will live, you will still laugh and love, you will still sing and dance, you will still hug and kiss. You will forever be in our lives, you will forever be a brother, a son, an uncle and friend.I am going to miss your shining face I think of you and wonder why? I might cry or smile, but at the end of the day, I am one day closer to you.
Love you big sister aka only sister 🥰🥰
