Feeling Numb and Out of Place

I never thought I would have to say that my youngest brother passed away
A freak accident took his life
Always thought that I would die first.
Feeling numb and out of place
Can’t see anything but his face
Constantly missing and mourning him 
Hoping to see him again someday

Rest in Peace- Michael

It is very sad when someone whom we love, so very close to us (or even estranged but still very much loved), moves on. I don't believe they ever truly leave us though Warren, they are always close by watching over us, or walking with us. Lots of love to you and those who loved your brother. xx

I’m so sorry that you lost your brother. We always think we have so much time. I Think through the shock of it it’s more difficult to lose someone instantly. No time to say goodbye. Your lovely poem is very moving. Blessings for a happier new year. xxoo

I deeply believe that such partings, though horrific, are temporary...and someday cherished ones will again be united in a loving, pain-free place. Blessings and prayers, my friend.
