Dear sweet brother......


The above is meant to be sarcastic.

For reasons I don't know my brother didn't come to the viewing or mom's funeral.

I am totally PO'd at him.  I don't care what reason he can come up with.   I feel hate right now.  And though I know it isn't Christian of me to say this........I hope this haunts him and hurts him for the rest of his life.  This would have broken mom's heart.  How could he be so cold and heartless?

I guess sometime God will help me to forgive my brother.  But it will take a very long time.  Probably until I die.

Kathy

    My brother feared death so much that he couldn't come to either of my parent's funerals or wakes. I understood that and so did my other brother.

    Maybe one day, when you find out why, you may be able to forgive.

    Nobody knows, except your brother, why he didn't come to the viewing or funeral. This happened in our family too, and I discovered, in the lives of other people as well. I can understand your hurt and anger, but hope that with time, it passes. I'm glad you and your father are going to counseling. It really does help.
    God bless you, my friend.

    Grief affects everybody differently.  Let this go and concentrate on your own healing.  That's my advice anyway.

    Kathy, your feelings are valid.  I agree with Barbara, however.  Be willing to be willing to forgive and let go.  You don't have to like what he did, but bitterness is a deep well and painful. Love and prayers, Penny  http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere

    It's easy to see why you feel hurt and mad over this.  But try to remember this is your brother's issue, not yours.  If you hold on to these feelings they'll only end up hurting you.  -  Barbara
