Hi girls,
Haven't been around this week because I got the worst call of my life on Saturday night. My beloved brother died suddenly. I am heartbroken, it makes no sense how a perfectly healthy exercise nut can just die for no apparent reason at 42 years old. They were not able to determine a cause for why his heart suddenly stopped which only makes it harder to accept. He was my rock, he did everything for me and spoiled me like crazy - I am so thankful for the 2 1/2 days I just got to spend with him doing our nursery. I can't even breathe when I think that my baby boy will never get to know his Uncle Greg, who would have loved him and spoiled him like no other. We were going to ask him to be the Godfather and I am so sad that we didn't do it last weekend when he was with us. The funeral was yesterday and it was amazing how many people flew in to pay their respects to him and the things they all said about him were so nice to hear. He was the most amazing man and we had such a special relationship - I think I was closer to him than anyone in the world. I have never lost a family member and he certainly was not the one I expected to lose first. How can the hardest, saddest thing of my life be happening during what is supposed to be the happiest time? How will I get through the next 4 months without him? He has been there for every major event in my life and now he will not be here for the biggest one yet. I just don't know how to begin to deal with this kind of loss. I have lost my hero, but I know I have gained a guardian angel. Any thoughts or prayers you could spare for me and my family would be appreciated.
Re: I have lost my hero
I am so so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you two had a wonderful relationship. I know it must be hard to think about your little one growing up without his uncle, but I'm sure you will do everything you can to make sure he knows his uncle loved him. Maybe you could make a special scrapbook and name him as your child's honorary godfather.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose family members, immediate members especially. I'll pray for your family.
(((HUGS)))
OMG I am so sorry for your loss. I cant imagine what you are going through right now. My heart just breaks for you.
I know you have the most amazing guardian angel watching over you now, but I am so sorry he is not physically here for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry

Carry on his spirit always.
