Lost and confused

Hi everyone


First post here. My brother passed away last week. I live on the other side of the world from him but managed to see him once before he passed. It had been years since we were in contact properly and I feel sadness that we had become distant. I've been trying to get funds together for his funeral and now my sister has stopped speaking to me. She didn't like my brother and feels I'm making things worse by trying to pay for a funeral that my parents can't afford. Somehow I'm putting my parents on the spot by doing this. I haven't even told them so I'm at a loss. It is just sad that I've lost two siblings, albeit one still with us. I've come home to an empty relationship with no support and everything feels hopeless.


I just needed to get this out. Thank you for reading

I'm so sorry for your loss, my condolences. I hope things in your family can be fixed. Meanwhile, know that you are not alone and can speak to a listener at any time. I send you a big hug.

Hello @Katiepolar,

I’m so sorry for your loss my deepest condolences to you and all your family. This is just sad what does out world come up to that siblings just stop talking to each other now a days. I completely understand my own sister doesn’t talk to me either and we just to be so close to one another. But oh well their reasons they have to stop talking to us, but I know how hard it is when you have no one around you and you feel completely alone. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers I hope that you find some peace and comfort here with someone of the listeners they have her. I’m also a starter listener so I’m here also if you need to talk to someone sending you a big warm hug take care.
