    Denise:

    So Sorry about your brother. I hope if you are feeling down and sad, that you will reach out to your friends and, of course, all the TE friends here on the forum.

    Hugs to you and yours

    Sorry to read about your brother Denise. I haven't seen you on the boards lately and I only just stumbled on the thread. Riding in Maine may be just what your soul needs.

    Denise,

    My deepest sympathies to you in the loss of your brother. I am still having a difficult time dealing with losing my father nearly two years ago now, so I do understand in some way what you are feeling now. Losing someone so close and special in your heart is life's most difficult passage.

    I hope that time and good memories of your brother bring you peace and smiles one day. Be patient and kind to yourself during this difficult time.

    Emily

    Denise-

    There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said here. My deepest sympathies - I have to echo what Emily said - please be kind to yourself during this time. You'll move through the grieving process in your own time - in the mean time, hang on to the happy memories.

    It looks like from crazyguy you're still on for your trip - please do try to enjoy yourself...It won't be the same, but let the happy memories come through and let yourself grieve and heal in your own way.

    Please let us know if we can help in any way...

    Denise, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

    I have had to deal with a lot of loss of life in my relatively short time. One of the things that I have learned is to be thankful for the good times and to be thankful for the grief. The fact that you are grieving is a sign of your love. It is much better to feel the pain of losing a loved one than to have never loved enough to feel it when the loss when it comes.

    Take care of yourself.

    Words seem so inadequate...

    So sorry for your loss. I know the pain of losing a brother to cancer. You & your family are in my thoughts.

    Denise. I have been away from TE for a few weeks and have just read about you most sad loss.

    Much aroha coming your way from New Zealand
    I shall remember you in the evenings when I light my candle and think on those who need support and love and warmth


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
