My brother died this morning. He was supposed to walk me down the aisle. Now, I almost don't even feel like getting married. My heart is broken completely. He was my big brother, my hero. I can't even imagine life without him and things from the past keep coming up in my mind like a video that keeps playing over and over again. I know he's at peace now but I don't even know how to get through this. I've survived both of my parents dying and those were things that took a very long time to get over. This one is going to take even longer.
Sorry if this is a downer for some of you guys, but I had to write this out. It made me feel a bit better.
I'm SO sorry!! That's so sad! I have older brothers and I'm very close to them but I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now!! My thoughts and prayers are with you today!

Hey rol, I can't even pretend to know how badly you must be hurting right now. Big hugs to you. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers this week. Just take things one day at a time, and don't make any big decisions until you've had time to clear your head. I'm so sorry for your loss...

I'm very VERY sorry for your loss!
Was it sudden and unexpected? No matter. It's a horrible thing to go thru nonetheless. I hope you eventually come to feel better. If your wedding is soon. Don't postpone it, not for long at least.
I'm sure love ones that pass do not want us to stop living our lives and being happy. It might sound cliche but he will be there with you, whenever you marry.
(((hugs)))

I am very sorry to hear about your brother! But I can also say that I can relate since I've lost 2 brothers myself and it can be painful...but as we all know life must go on but our brothers will forever remain in our hearts for sure. How do we get over the pain? We don't... but we just take it one day at a time and hope that God will comfort and mend broken hearts.
I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers! Hold on and keep your head up hun..he just got called home to heaven so we both know he's in a better place than we are now. It's okay to vent, we all need to sometimes.....since he was supposed to walk you down the aisle for your wedding...do something very special to honor his memory on your wedding day because he will be with you in spirit on that day as well. Once again I am sorry for your loss and my prayers will be with you hun!
I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to loose a loved one. My mom passed away 6 years ago, and sometimes it feels like it was yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'm so sorry for you. Right now this is the best way to deal with your grief, by discussing how much he means to you with anyone that will listen. At this point do not postpone any wedding plans as you are greiving. I"m sure that your brother would want you to celebrate your marriage in a few months since he was going to be a part of that day.
((Hugs))
I'm very sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your extended family. I will keep you all in my thoughts. It is perfectly ok to take the time to grieve and not even think of the wedding, much strength to you!
i'm so sorry for your loss :( why don't you try to take some rest today?...
my prayers are with you... ((big, big hugs))
I am SO sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I can relate to losing a loved one in the middle of wedding planning. My dad died almost 3 months ago, and it was a huge shock. The only advice I can give you is to give yourself time to grieve, and to try to use wedding planning and Weddingbee in particular as an outlet. There is so much support in this community. I will keep you in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. How wonderful to have a big brother so special to you. He, just like your parents, will always be in your heart and watching over you. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.
((((big hugs))))

Rol, I'm so sorry.
My dad passed away a few years ago and that was so incredibly hard for me to get past. The only advice I think is to take everything one day at a time. Try to remember the things you loved about him and what made him happy. I think your family would love to see him somehow recognized at your wedding, maybe think of the best way to honor him. This way you can keep him in your heart and your mind that day, and honor what an important role he played in your life. (((HUGS)))
I'm so sorry this has happened rol. Please rely on the people who love you right now, especially your fiance. Take one moment at a time and know that we're all here and thinking of you.
Thank you to everyone who sent their thoughts and hugs. I appreciate your messages more than you know. :)

I would be absolutely inconsolable for months if I lost either of my brothers at this youngish age. I know you must have grief weighing down on you so hard that it makes it tough to breathe. Sigh... I'm so so sorry.
{{HIVE HUGS!}} I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope that you can begin to heal a bit by using your wedding as an outlet. Because you are gaining family through your wedding, and you can remember your brother and your parents in a very special way! Don't forget to use your FH, he's there for you no matter what time of night. I will keep you in my prayers.
To start i'm so sorry for your loss. I can sort of feel where you are coming from...both my parents passed away when I was 12 and my brother is walking me down the isle. I would be a wreck too if I was going through this. Your bother became your rock I'm sure (as mine did).
It's your wedding and if you need to post pone to grieve I'm sure everyone will understand. I wouldn't put it off for good. If your brother was will to give you away at the wedding I'm sure the guy you are marring is a good one. Your brother would still have wanted you to get married...just take your time.
One thing my aunt always told me...Remember...God never gives your more than you can handle.
If you need to chat a bit more...my email is rmebrigh@hotmail.com...or facebook... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1254473414&ref=profile#/profile.php?id=1254473414&ref=profile
Oh dear, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a loved one. I hope you and your family find comfort and peace in the coming days, weeks, months. *BIG HUGS*
I am sorry for your loss. Hang in there & be strong - make sure you give yourself some closure & reflect on your loss - till then I pray you & your faily find strength. He will be there on your special day in your heart.
rol this is such sad news and I'm so sorry. (((hugs))) to you!
Have a bubble bath, have some cries, give yourself some time to be sad. Take some deep breaths and maybe go get yourself a massage.
If it helps at all, one of my best friends who will be a BM in my wedding lost her mom to cancer just 6 months before her wedding. Her mom was hands down one of the most awesome people ever so it was just devestating. The wedding seemed to be really helpful for my friend, she enjoyed planning for something positive and getting people together to celebrate rather than having people come together for a funeral, which had happened quite a bit in her family.
That is just something to think about.
Keep in touch and let the bees know how you're doing.

awwwwww :( as soon as i start reading it tears were rolling down my face :( i couldn't imagine how much pain you are in right now, my grandad passed away in march and that hurt alot, i was really looking forward both my grandparents being at my wedding.
*hugs*
My deepest condolences on your loss. I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
((BIG HUGS))
I am so so sorry for your loss and I can not begin to imagine what you're going through. Please know that we're all hear to listen if you want to let it out. {{{{{}}}}
I really cannot imagine the pain you are going through, and my thoughts and prayers go out to you. I'm sure your brother would want you to have the wedding. And having the wedding may actually help, although it hurts to think about right now.
The whole in your heart may never be filled but as you know it does get a little better, a little easier to cope with. Continue to talk with people, family, friends, and us! I know that will help. I'm so soo sorry.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know the pain is unbearable right now and you can't really think about the future. All you want is the world to stop and acknowledge that this person who meant so much in your life is gone. Don't make any big decisions about your wedding or anything else in your life right now. Please allow yourself time to grieve. My prayers are with you and your family.
rol769- I am so sorry and I will pray for you and your family. My FI younger brother who was 20 passed away all of a sudden a year ago so if you need someone to talk to or to help in any way please let us know. Just take it one day at a time because that will be all that your mind, body and soul can handle. Also after time I would recommend getting in to a support group of people that have lost their brothers and sisters. We go weekly and no it doesn't take the pain away but the people around you know exactly how it feels and they help us to cope with it in different ways.
God Bless
Many thanks and hugs go out to everyone with their kind words! Today has been really hard for me as the reality of everything is really hitting me. I'm taking things one day at a time and praying a lot to my parents for their strength. Thanks again to all the bees out there who reached out to me at this especially difficult time. <<HUGS>>
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss :( I cannot imagine being in your shoes, and I can only offer my thoughts for you and your family.
