My name is Bridgette and I feel I need to share right now because I'm still mourning my brother he transitioned on July 3,He was my best friend and buddy we were 10 yrs a part in age but he taught me some really good values to pass on to my daughter and grandchildren.He broke the mold when it came to being the best dad he could and that is what he did.My nieces and nephew had the best person for the job, he never forgot his siblings even though he had his own family,he was my hero and my mentor in life, now as his physical presence is gone I have to rely on my memories and all of the very good times we had and how much Im going to miss him as time heals my heart.We will miss you dearly and you shall forever live in our hearts.Thank You Apsense for listening,Bridgette

Dearest Bridgette,

I am so sorry for your loss of your brother. When you have a special bond like that. It is very hard to imagine the little things, that happened on an everyday basis, that connected you two are physically gone now. He sounded like a wonderful man, brother, and father. He also sounds like the type of spirit that will be there to watch over you and your family. And when you transition he will be there with open arms. Peace be with you and your family.

Bridgette,
My dear sister Chris died nearly 3 years ago, and it is as fresh as if it were yesterday. As Frank says in his comment, your brother is with you, always. Cherish that fact, the memories, and the time you were blessed with him.
My prayers are with you!

Hello Bridgette,
Thank you for sharing your loss and your pain. Losing someone close is always so very hard and even tho time will ease the pain, don't be afraid to let him go. Your memories will always be with you and will never fade. God bless you during these difficult days.

Thinking of you,
Muriel

Hi Bridgette,

Yeah, I just found this post right after reading and commenting in your other one entitled "My Loss" and I just wanted to concur with everybody else here in that your description of your brother painted a vivid picture of a truly wonderful man in my mind. And I'm sure his passing away is very hard to accept and/or deal with right now, especially since he was such great guy.

And yet, I feel compelled to point out that you are doing all the proverbial "right things" to help you

G`day Bridgette,
I share your pain hun, my Brother passed away 21-7-06 so not far off a year ago. Your Brother sounds like a great man and you honour him with remembrance, he will never be forgotten though as he has passed on his spirit which you will see in his children, he`s always watching over you hun.

Sadly, I never knew my Brother which makes things a little harder. I`m 40 now and last saw him when I was 3, I treasure that dim memory greatly as it`s all I have, I c
