 Hello.

My brother passed away at 17 about a month ago. I am fifteen and am devastated by his loss. It has caused me to have panic attacks and paranoia of a rare disease. I constantly think of his last moments and it causes me tremendous pain. I know I will never truly get over his loss, but I just want help coping with it. Any tips?

 First of all I am sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose a sibling that is close to you. Grieving takes time. There are five stages.You are still in shock from it. One month isnt long to still feel numb. You should see if you can look at pictures of the good times you had.Making a scrapbook or photo albumn are great ways to think of the more pleasant days. Let yourself cry. It does really help. They are healing tears. /Finding a friend you trust to talk to in person is good also. How is your mom with this loss? Maybe helping her with some chores will help her. Sometimes doing for others helps us. Writing things down or typing your feelings can help you too.

Again Im sorry for your loss. Feel free to pm me just to let things out. here is my shoulder to cry on and arms for a big hug. I am Lori, one of the group leaders. We are a caring comminity. We are here for each other. Welcome to this site.

 I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. The emotions of grief can be very overwhelming to cope with. Angel is right, you are still in shock at this time which is normal. I think writing is a good way to let the feelings out, journaling etc. Therapy can also help us in coping with the grief, loss and symptoms that arise from the grief. Want to welcome you here and let you know we are here for you. Let your feelings out. Feel free to post them here. Rachele

 Hi welcome to our group. I am so sorry for the pain you are dealing with. the others are right there are many emotions you will be feeling over your loss. It is very important to express those feelings. A journal is a great safe way to express them. If you want to share those thoughts you have witten you can if you feel more comfortable at this point keeping them to your self it is still very theraputic. counseling is a very good idea not only for you but your whole family. it can help you all deal with the loss and pain you are all feeling. best of luck and we are here for you
