Depression

I'm sorry, it's really tough not having family and support 💔

@Grace yes life been lifen me i get so depressed 😔 i miss my deceased brother alot

I felt the same after the losing my brother 5 years ago. He was murdered months before the start of the pandemic so his trial was prolonged. It’s the only the last year that I can say that I’ve been able to move on with my life. It’s not been easy and it never will be. It does, get easier. One day you will wake up and it will hurt less than the day before. This will continue till you wake up and you don’t feel the pain. It’s still there, you just learn how to live with it xx.

@Rueben I’m so sorry for your loss i can imagine the pain my brother was killed also and we just got justice this year my heart forever broken I’ve learned to cope with it but it’s so hard i dream about him a lot and in the dream he be so happy 😔💔

Remember him as the happy person you knew him to be and use that to move on. Also your mum is probably hurting a lot as well. As long as it won’t hurt you, maybe reach out to her? I’m glad you got justice. Seeing the men who killed my brother get sent to prison for 20 plus years also helped me to move on and I’m so glad that they are off the streets.

@Rueben my mom didn’t care during the process it was my sister that handled everything I haven’t even seen my mom since my brother death

@Rueben again I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ yeah the man got life for killing my brother

@Tia I’m sorry for your loss too. It’s never easy dealing with something like this. It certainly knocked me for six! I’m not making excuses for your mum, as I don’t know what kind of women she is, but she might not be able to handle it. My siblings and I took care of my brother’s funeral arrangements. We also were the ones to go out court, write statements etc. My stepmother (brother’s mum) was only able to come to the sentencing. She was and still is a broken lady.

I’m glad that the man got life. At least in the US, life means life. The man who killed my brother got life with a minimum of 25 years. This was his third stabbing. He killed some one when he was 14 and was given a new identity. Only to stab someone again at 17. Fortunately that person survived. My brother wasn’t so lucky. Happy New Year. Please take each day as it comes and don’t be hard on yourself. Your LO needs you.
