my brother died

We've collected together some stories and experiences that have been sent into the website of how different people have felt after the death of their brother:

I lost my older brother in a coach accident in August 2000. With it being almost 3 years now, I am realising the increasing struggle I am having in remembering details about him, like his voice and smile etc. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I can slow this? I have tried a memory book, but I found I started it a bit too late, and as a result I am only able to remember certain things. It is starting to get to me as he was and still is very much a huge part of my life. And yet I cant help but think I am forgetting…

my friends brother died 3 years ago and evry year on the aniversary she watches his favourite film, Ferris Buellers day off. she says she can picture him smilin and sometimes hear him laughin at his favorit bits

My brother died at xmas and on his birthday I sung 'Happy birthday' to him in a strange way it helped

My brother died when he was out one night with his mates, he tripped and fell, he banged his head which caused a chemical reaction and it killed him, he also choked.i don't really like telling anyone about this but that is cos i feel like they fel like the have to be really sympathetic, when all i really want is for them to understand.

My brother was 12 when he died i miss him loads it would be nice to have a penpal that understands me because no one at school does.
