Hi Micky
I am sorry you feel you have lacked support – I know many people read without posting and I also know many people find it difficult knowing what to say to someone who has lost a loved one.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, my only brother died suddenly and unexpectedly in February and many people felt unable to speak to me about him whereas I wanted to talk about him. I would love to hear about your sister if you want to talk.
I don’t know about you but there are so many things I would like to have talked over with my brother that we never got round to – I think with a sibling we maybe feel that there will always be time. I have a photo of my brother propped up beside my computer and he is laughing, almost as if to say I am daft for talking to his picture. We all have to deal with loss at sometime but there will never be a right time.
I know it is tough for you and that gambling has been your escape in the past but I have learned in the last 10 months that remembering the good times with my brother and living a better life for having known him is a good way to cope.
Stay gamble-free Micky and please keep posting
Velvet
