My fav. part is where you said losing a sibling is like losing your past and future bc it's so true. ❤

My sister passed away from cancer earlier this year. We had been distant before. I avoided speaking with her for years. She just wanted her younger brother to love her.
It wasn't until her diagnosis was terminal that I finally started talking to her, visiting, and eventually forgave her.
I regret the years lost to anger.

I hope whoever reads this finds peace and comfort. I hope your life gets better. Find help when you need it.
You are not alone.

I just lost my brother last night. He fought in the ICU for a week after a bad car accident. He just turned 21 on July 5th. The pain that I feel is so unreal. Watching my mom cry over her son was the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. There is a pain that has planted itself in the bottom of my heart and I know will be there for a long time… I miss him so much 💔

When a sibling dies... You lose your past and future.. 💔💔 Miss you 😢😢

I lost my only sister to suicide 6 months ago. She was only 26, and she died just before my 29th birthday. For a while I thought I managed and "understood" and could do daily tasks without it being overwhelming, pushing through for my parents. Then it hits me, my grief is an unbearable pain, the past hurts too much and the future is unimaginable. Thank you for this video, I needed it tonight, and to read all the comments to feel less alone. A part of me is forever gone.

I lost my sister today three years ago. She and I both had horribly abusive parents and so the loss of her is not just a normal loss, it's also a loss of the only person who understood, experienced, and knew what I went through because she did too. It's a loss that no one understands unless they have gone through it too.

I feel like no one can comprehend how much pain I'm in. I loved my sister *too much* . It's been 2 years and I still don't want to live without her. I'm staying alive for my mom.

I lost my big brother two years ago this month. It has been a very sad and consuming 23 months and I am waiting for the pain to subside.

Someone told me that pain comes in waves, and some days the water feels calm. Others I feel as though I am drowning.

Reading these comments helped me feel less alone. I hope I can bring someone solace through this comment.

I miss you every single day bro.

I lost my sister on the 18th of this month. I have always dreamed of growing old together, grey hair, wrinkles and back pain the beauty of growing old. But now I'm just devastated, it feels like a hand is gripping my heart making it hard to beat. I feel so weak when I start thinking about her again. She's forever 29, I will always love you big sis ❤. R.I.P. Criselda.

My older brother was killed 21yrs ago. Still think of and miss him everyday. Had so many plans and things we looked forward to. With the kind of parents we had, we felt we were the only ones that understood one another.

I lost my amazing brother on the 19th march 2018. He was only 18. I miss him so much.

I lost my sister a month ago. I am the youngest of 4. So I never had lived a life with her not being there. It is now that I realize how much she is a part of me. I feel like a limb has been taken off.

I was 20 when my 19 yr old brother had died in a road accident. He was my only sibling and it was so sudden and unexpected.
A decade has passed, but I am still grieving his loss. I still cry myself to sleep often. I still weep secretly in the bathroom so that my husband doesn't hear me. I still dread his birthdays and death anniversaries.
My parents are aging now and to think that I might have to lose them too makes me want to kill myself first.

I lost my brother unexpectedly last week, he had only just turned 30, I myself am 28 so went threw everything in life together, he is my best friend, our relationship was so strong and I feel the grief will never pass, there has not been a single moment I havnt felt nothing but deep overwhelming pain since losing him, thankyou for sharing your own experiences with us, I'm so sorry for your lose or two siblings, they will never be forgotten and love in our hearts forever

I am a pastor, I lost my 31 years old elder sister this year. I prayed for the sick and were healed, the blind received their sight, the lame limped and I prayed for my sister yet she passed on. I wanted to go to the throne and present my case, however the Lord has amazingly comforted me. I couldn't believe it but then I experienced the peace which surpasses human understanding. I pray for all of us that we find strength to face tomorrow.

So many sad comments here, I resonate with everyone. It helps to see people understand my pain but at the same time I wish none of us were experiencing it. The words are exactly how I feel. Thank you all for sharing.

I lost my older sister(49) three years ago this April. I walked into her house and found her dead on her couch with her little dog sitting on her lap. Anyway, I know about the forgotten mourner thing. At church, the morning after I found her, it was announced and everyone in my family was mentioned(except me). And I used to sit next to my sister every Sunday. At her memorial, I think maybe 5 people offered me their condolences. That would be 5 out of over 100 people who showed up. I remember being told that day to be strong and to take care of my mother. Nobody asked how I was feeling/doing. Nobody told me to take care of myself. Everyone just expected me to be strong and take care of my parents. It was like I didn’t matter. Like my feelings didn’t matter. Three years later, it still hurts my feelings. I feel so alone in my grief. Some days it hurts so much that I wish I could just go join my sister. I miss her so much.

Thank you I needed this. My older sister was 21 I was 15. I am currently 25 and it will be 10 years without my best friend. She died of cancer

Saw my baby brother die at my side still kills me to this day

I lost my brother, he was murdered by his g/f in his sleep. This was 40 years ago and simply cannot forget my love for him.
