Dear Little Sister: I'm not as eloguent writer as others, but I can say that I'm glad you could post your pain on this site, and I hope it helped to release some of your anguish. The feeling of loniness and lost never really goes away, but hopefully in time the pain will lessen and your memories of your brother will bring joy and laughter.

I would like to recommend a book (fiction) that was very helpful to me, not only because of the ordeal I'm facing, but with all the pain from the past. The book is "The Shack", by William P. Young. It's current, and in bookstores now. It is a wonderfully spiritual book. I believe it may help to answer some of your questions. I hope it helps.

Take care, and please visit us to let us know how you're doing.

Sandy S.
