My Beloved Brother

I was in the hospital for back surgery on March 17, 2020. I was texting my brother "Bubba" all hooked up and ready to go to surgery. The nurse was wheeling me out, I didn't get to say "I love you." He died in his sleep 2 a.m. the next morning of a heart attack. My cousin found him diseased sitting after playing his guitar. That was his favorite pastime. Now 5 days after it is coming at me in waves that he is gone and how I didn't get to talk to him or say "I love you Bubba." But he knew that! It really hasn't hit me its hardest yet as I'm still recovering. I know he is pain free, stress free, and probably where he would want to be...happy and free.

I just lost my brother 2/25/2020. We loved each other, both of us knew this. We were always there for each other. We both knew this too. But he was the oldest and he always threw that up in our faces. Most of the time we all just let him have his way. There are a few times we stood up to him. Alright a lot of times we stood up to him when we got older.
I know it's only been a few days, but I miss him. I wanted to be like him. I know I'm his sister, but there was something about him that made people like him and hate him at the same time. We fought like cats and dogs, but he was the first one there to help us out.
My heart breaks for my mom because we just buried the man she spent 63 years with. Now we are burying the man she gave birth to 62 years ago. Not even 3 months later. Yes, all of us wanted to be like him at some point in our life. Now he's gone and I miss him more than I missed anyone.
RIP Clayton, my brother, my friend, my mentor. My heart will never mend.

Love your sister,
Debbie

I lost my brother 239 days ago (yes, I count every single day). He was my only sibling. He struggled with cancer for 3 years. Knowing his journey was very hard and painful for me. He lost his hair, his weight, his ability to have a child. I still cry every day because I miss him so much. All I want to do is be with him, if I could.

My twin brother passed away one year ago tomorrow, May 14, 2018. I'm so sad that I can hardly breathe. I can't believe that he's gone, and now I am alone to be in this world without him. He was my best friend. I will be waiting for him until the end. I love you forever and ever.

I unexpectedly lost my big brother, my best friend, my rock this Thursday, April 26, 2018. We were so close. I cannot imagine my life without him. I love and miss you brother.

My brother is my world. We have always been very close and always stuck together. He passed 3 days ago, and I don't know how I'm going to get through it, but I have to for my kids. I'm trying to focus on the good times and the fabulous memories I have of time spent together doing fun things. He has two little girls who he adored and loved more than anything. I think he has struggled since we lost our mum 14 years ago to cancer. I just wish he had told me how he was feeling. He took his life, but I think it was a cry for help and he didn't really want to leave us all. He was so loved. He had a heart of gold. I'm so grateful for the time I had with my baby brother. He will always be in my heart .

My youngest brother left us on February 21, 2018. The next day would have been his 16th birthday. He couldn't make it, due to a motorcycle accident. It hurts us a lot because it happened all around 4am. I was shocked when I received a phone call that he was in the hospital at that time. As I was rushing to the hospital I was praying and hoping it was a mistake, but it wasn't. It was so hard to understand and accept that he already left us, but I know our Creator wanted him back. Yesterday was his Moving-Up Ceremony (April 5, 2018). He wanted to be a policeman. Now we are living our life with so many what ifs.

My baby brother was murdered by his own father. It's been 3 years this Easter, and I've only recently stopped seeing him, holding him, telling him how much I love him every night when I go to bed. For nearly 3 years I've had to wake up every day crying and reminding myself it was only a dream and he's gone. It's been bittersweet as in one sense I got to see him, touch his face, he wiped my tears, and told me he's okay and, "It's fine, don't cry, Sis," he often said. Not that I stop because it's what wakes me. It's the wetness of my face that arouses my senses, and I am immediately struck with the reality he's gone. However, in that pain God reminds me that He now walks on streets of gold, he walks hand in hand with Jesus, and the most powerful spirit of peace overtakes me and any feeling of sadness feels selfish.

I lost my younger brother at the age of 29. He was very helpful for everyone. Still can't believe what happened to us. This year he got married on April 16, and he left the world on November 16. He suffered from cardiac arrest. He came back to be on the ventilator for 45 days. The doctors told us his brain was damaged. We were praying for a miracle to happen.

I lost my younger brother on February 5, 2011. Three days prior, he had undergone surgery to repair a perforated diverticulum. A day before he was to be discharged from the hospital, and less than thirty minutes after the doctor had spoken to him, he suffered cardiac arrest and passed away at age 33. No explanation could be given for his cause of death. After six months we received his autopsy results, which stated the cause of death as being pulmonary embolism. His death being sudden and unexpected, I was in denial the first two years. Now it's getting harder and harder as the years have gone by. His death has taught me that when you lose a loved one, time does nothing to make it better. In fact, the grief becomes more intense.

I lost my little brother on the date of August 28, 2015. He had a very painful death. It was so hard for me to understand why he had to suffer like that. He had a serious illness that even a doctor couldn't find out. Each passing day by the time he left I felt shattered and broken that even school lessons didn't register into my head. He was my everything, my companion, and my best friend. He was just a 6-year-old kid who loved to eat chocolate and stayed out in the rain laughing. He was a kid with big dreams for the future. I miss singing with him, recording every song we sang, teasing each other, hugging, and so many other things. He loved bedtime stories. I miss doing that for him. I miss all of those, but why so early? We promise each other to stay together no matter what happens, but I failed. It's so sad he left without saying goodbye to me. For now, praying is my medicine, especially by looking down at his pictures. I know you are in good hands now, and that comforts me.

I lost my brother 6-27-17 to a motorcycle accident. He was only 33 years old. I'm 31 and having a hard time dealing with it. I miss him more and more every day. I'm trying so hard not to break down every day at work, driving, or anything. It hurts so much!

My younger brother died on July 9, 2017, almost a month back in a tragic bike accident and died on the spot. He was just 21 years old. He was the only brother of four sisters. My father also died when my brother was just 12 years old, and my mother somehow managed to live because of him. He was the youngest of all and meant a lot to us. The day he went us four forgot to laugh. He was so lively in nature. The worst thing that could happen to me was this. Life has become a burden for me as he was working with me in same place. It's hard for me to adjust, even at my workplace. I still can't believe he's no more and I won't be able to listen to that sweet voice. I miss his expressions, our fights, his love toward me and my son. Any of our celebrations will be incomplete without you. We are living this life. We have to move on in life, but it will never be the same without you. My biggest grief was our last goodbye was never said. He was like my backbone, and he never said no to me.

This struck a chord in me. The horrifying reality. My brother also died March 18, 2017. He overdosed. He was my best friend, and I saw him hit his highest points and his lowest points in his life. He struggled with addiction. Every day is a hell I can't wake up from. I talked to him every day, making sure he was alive and breathing. I hung out with him the day before he passed away. I talked to him that morning. I too called him Bubba. He was my protector. My life revolved around him.

I wanted a poem for my late brother. He was 25 years and 7 months when he was called to a higher service on March 18, 2017 (Saturday). I am 27 years old. He collapsed while playing soccer and died. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. Ever since that day, I have not been able to be myself. I miss him so much. We were so close. We loved each other with everything we had. I lost the blood of my blood...that is what he called me. I miss him dearly.

My little brother was murdered. It's been 3 months 3 weeks and one day (Feb. 7). Alec was beautiful as he was fierce. As a 17 year old he thought himself invincible. He tried stopping a robbery. The cowards shot him 3 times in the head, but he saved the lives of 5 people. He died a hero. I raised him as my own most of our lives. He was mine, my baby. My husband is deployed. He left Jan. 1 & won't be home until Thanksgiving. The rest of my family has fallen apart. My mother turned to meth and her medicine cabinet. His dad committed suicide 4 years ago. Everything has crumbled. But that's not all. My mother-in-law became a missing person the same day my brother was murdered. We still have no leads on her case, she vanished. It seems like something out of terrible drama, but it's my life. A continuous waking nightmare. If it weren't for my little girl and my husband, I think I would truly lose myself. It doesn't get better. Only deeper and more poignant. It's killing me inside.

My worst nightmare became my reality on May 1, 2017 when I found out my brother Travis stopped breathing in his sleep and died. We were only 12 months and 2 weeks apart. He was 29 year old and I am 30, and we had a really close bond because when we were 6 and 7 we were taken from our mom and given to our dad who we didn't know. All we had that was familiar to us was each other. No matter what kind of mood I was in he would always make me laugh. He was my other half, and I will never get that part of me back. I've never experienced a pain this excruciating in my entire life. I don't have my brother, and I can't imagine going the rest of my life without him. I miss him so much. I will live the rest of my life with this constant pain in my heart and this constant emptiness I feel without my brother in my life.

On April 28 2017, my older brother Alex died from 3 shots to the arm, shoulder, and head. I have been crying for 3 days straight, hurting from the pain of losing him. Our family is in pieces, trying to collect ourselves. My oldest brother Daniel was with him the day before he died, and my older brother Devin was with him when he died. It hurts so much. I'm 15 and my world is already crashing. He turned 20 (March 12), 4 days before I turned 15 (March 16). Rest in paradise, Bubby. I love you and miss you so much. (March 12th 1997- April 28th 2017)

My brother died on May 1, 2015, after suffering from DIPG, a brain cancer for a little over a year. I'm only 15 and it hurts a lot, and I miss him, but my friend also lost someone she was really close with on that day but 2 years before my brother died. It's going to be 2 years and it's really hard to believe. He died when he was only 6.

Back in January, I lost my baby brother. It was so hard to wrap my head around that he is gone and that I won't ever be able to hold him again. I found out 4 days after he had passed because I'm in foster care. I didn't get to go to his funeral because my stepmom didn't want anyone from my dad's side to go, and that really hurt me. All I've done is cry. I still cry myself to sleep every night, hoping it is all a nightmare and that I'm going to wake up and he'll be in my bed sleeping in my arms like it was when he first came home from the hospital. He thought I was his mommy. I miss him like crazy. I'll never forget him or how much he meant to me.

Hi, on the 5th of Feb 2017, my oldest brother passed away of a drug overdose, so now I have lost my brother and my best friend. I can't live with myself. I wish I could be with him as we were so close. So now I've lost my truly big brother to stupid drugs. All I do is cry and cry till I fall asleep wondering why you didn't ask me to help you. I love you, bro, forever and ever.

We grew up in the 70s. He was the eldest. Abuse is what we shared. He protected me when he could. You see I was the youngest and a girl to boot. No one can really thank someone for taking a beating for them. I did it, Jamie, yet you stepped forward to take the punishment. Fifty-four was too young to die. Live in peace now, my protector. I love you.

July 15, 2014: never knew this day was going to change our lives forever. It was when my brother embraced martyrdom. He was just 23 years old. He achieved what he desired. There are times when all I want is to get him back. He was not just my elder brother, but also a best friend. :'( He was the one who understood me completely.
I miss him, I miss old times when we were together.
........
-Our pain is the same. Prayers for you all!

My younger brother died May 12, 2016, due to a heart attack. It feels like I can't go on in life. I miss him terribly. He had a dream months before he died that he told me about. I just did not know that he was really going to die. Why all the pain and hurt on earth? It seems too much. DEATH, OH THE STING OF DEATH!!!

Tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of the death of my younger brother, Jay! He was diagnosed in the fall of 2012 with a very rare form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma! He fought a very short, courageous battle! The doctors did everything they could to save him! But God saw him suffering and in pain! He lost his battle with cancer on September 10, 2013! He was only 48 years old!

It breaks my heart to know he never got to see his oldest son get married or to see his granddaughter, Emma, take her first steps! I take comfort in knowing that somehow he is watching from heaven and knows how much his family and friends miss him every single day!

My guardian angel, Jay, rest in peace till we meet again! Love XO Susan :)

My brother died on October 9, 2015 at the age of 37. He died of a heart attack. He was my baby brother. I miss him so much. We used to share the occasional glass of wine. I can't get over his death. It's just so hard to deal with. His birthday just passed on June 27, 2016. He would've been 38. I love reading poems like these. A lot of them reflect how I feel. We always used to end our conversations with "I love and miss you bro". Now I'm ending this one with I love and miss you bro??

My brother was 22 when he was murdered while at college. April 29th, 2014 was one of the scariest days of my entire life. As I laid in bed getting sleeping for school I received a phone call I ignored the phone call and went back to sleep. I felt as if something was not right and went and called the person back. I was than asked was my brother dead, which being asked that than woke up fully, and knew something wasn't right. I hung the phone up got on Facebook and seen a lot of pictures of my brother and people saying they send their prayers and that they were sorry for the loss of my brother. I than called his phone time after time waiting for him to answer and it be the wrong person. I than began getting calls saying that it was true that someone had murdered my brother hours before. I went to the bathroom and began to cry miserably I called and called my oldest sister, grandmother, and mother who would not answer the phone. I than ran out the house into the rain to get in the car and head to their house. I banged on the door and as she opened the door I began to breakdown and scream they killed our brother. We later learnt that our brother was stood up and murdered while at college fulfilling his dream of playing football. My brother and I had a unbreakable bond which was very special to the both of us.

My brother was 22 years old when he was killed by an off duty drunk cop. A month and a day after his birthday. The day my brother died I was in school. I had received a Facebook message from my brother saying that I need to call him. I couldn't I was in class. Class let out and as I was walking down the hall I felt my heart drop into my stomach. I felt something was extremely wrong. I called, he picked up, but didn't say anything. I kept calling his name, then finally he replied "Ty got in a car accident & hung up" I burst into tears screaming! I called back & said "WHAT?!" He said he didn't make it and hung up the phone. I literally started screaming!!!!! I got up and fell right back into my friends arms. She went to get the school officer and the officer and her proceed to take me into the counselor office. Me and three of my friends sat in the room. They started crying because they seen the hurt and pain I was in. The counselor had called my brother back and asked and he told her yes my brother had passed away. My brother told me to call my father. I had called one of my best friends mom and told her and she told the counselor "Destiny wasn't supposed to find out until she got home". The lady had called my dad and when she did my dad response was "damn! I didn't want her to find out in school!"

I lost my brother 4 years ago. He was stabbed by some kids on his way home. He died on September 9 2009, days before my birthday and 2 months before his birthday. He died at the age of 15 and I was 16. I think what hurts the most is I never got to say goodbye to him and tell him how much I love him, that I was so happy to have a brother like him and how much he means to me. We were so close that when he passed away I also lost the other half of me. Though he's gone but the memories we had will always be with me forever. I know one day we will meet again somewhere beyond the clouds.

Around this time in 7 days my brother will be gone 2 years. It feels like just yesterday the police called me outside my house around 11 pm saying they had news for me. Their words were "I'm sorry but your brother didn't make it". I felt like someone had just ripped a peace of my heart ou . I cried for months , my family was just falling apart. I'm the oldest out of 6 kids, my brother was the middle child 12 years old when he died in a hit and run. I can't say it gets better but you learn how to deal with it little by little I think of my brother all the time. I just wish I didn't argue so much with him and told him I loved him as many times as I should've but that's all too late now. I just wish that now he knows how much he means to me ... Love you lalito

My brother Sgt. Caesar M. Jones was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident and this poem reminds me of us so much. It has been 6 months and my heart feels like it has been ripped out. My brother was my best friend. He called me on Thursday he said "Hey Sis, I'm coming home this weekend." I was so excited since he lived in Greenville, SC and I'm in Pittsburgh. Saturday morning I called and called him he never answered. That afternoon I got the call he was gone. I'm hurting so bad. My brother was my very best friend now I just feel empty and alone.
RIP Cid I love you and miss you. Big SIS

Such a beautiful poem. I lost my little & only brother in a car accident on 25 June 2005, he was 18. The worst part is we didn't know he had passed away as the accident happened far from home during school holidays. We found him in a police morgue about to be buried by the state because no one had claimed his body. I cry everyday, I see him in my mind in my dreams he lives. I can never forgive myself for not following up when his phone went unanswered for 2 days. A part of me was violently ripped away, my heart was shattered, I will never forget my brother. We are now 3 girls with no brother. My mom will carry the pain to her grave I can tell by the way she doesn't mention his name, her eyes are teary when anyone mentions his name. She will never be the same again. Thank you for this lovely poem and I'm really sorry about your brother's passing. I don't know why they say time makes it easier, it sure hasn't done it for me...

I feel your pain, I recently lost a younger brother, he was only 15 years old when he passed away from hypothermia...it happened just a month ago...it has been really hard for me because he acted more mature and responsible than me and I'm 24 years old. I came across your poem, I've been browsing through most of them to find that is similar to what happened...but truth is, they are all the same, nothing is ever different when we lose a family member :(...it has been a month now since my little brother passed away, I hope I can find whatever it is to help me through...sorry to hear about your brother as well.

so much, it hurts so much to lose a sibling. I went to visit him and he so brave and always was thinking of my mom and I. He wanted to make sure we were going to be alright. He didn't know we were never going to be alright without him. Your poem touched my heart and I feel your heartache. I wish for you and all the others that you never knew this heartbreak!

Hi, :) Brianna my name is Alps, and I feel so sorry for your loss. I can understand how u feel, because I have a sister but my dad lost his brother who was only 15, while my dad was doing his last year of university at age 22. And then shortly thereafter my paternal grandfather who expired aged 75. My paternal grandmother had 4 sons but only 2 survive now because she just lost another one to Cancer, I can only wonder how strong she is to handle the sorrow.

I am really struggling with my brothers death. This year will be year 15 and it just seems to get harder and harder every year. We just celebrated another birthday of his without him. In less than a month we will have another year that marks his death and another year I am lost without my big brother.

It's been 25 years since my brother passed I cry every day, he was my heart, he lived in Alaska so I couldn't go. I think if I could have gone I would be ok. My sister-n -law has a tape but I won't watch it, I know he is gone but I just don't want to let him go, it has been so hard on me, I think if I let go he would think I don't love him, my heart stays broken every day for him. I pray for god to help me all the time. I just don't know what to do any more.

Hi there honey. I am 14, I will be 15 in December. On May 5 2011 my brother passed away at the age of 18 from a car accident. He was gonna be 19 in July. He was my best friend and it so hard to speak of his name and know he's gone. It's so hard without him. I understand how you feel completely. I never got to tell him how I truly feel about him! I always look back to the times me and him had and turns out me and him had a blast even during are fights! It's so hard to believe he's gone. I get horrible flashbacks and it hits real hard sometimes that this is reality and he's gone... it would be nice to know when things start to feel normal again.... thank you for your poem it really made me think. Your a wonderful women with a big heart! And I'm very sorry about your brother.

My brother, Gary was 36 when he was diagnosed with lung and bone cancer and died two months later. Our family watched as he suffered tremendously yet was so courageous for us all, especially his 5 yr old daughter who he left behind. I know it may sound selfish but as my only sibling I feel so alone in this world and am so angry and hurt that his beautiful little girl should have to grow up without him. The pain and loss is so devastating to our entire family. I pray that he truly knew how much we loved him and always will. As I'm sure with the rest of my family we were in such denial in his last days that I feel I should have been there for him and tried to talk to him about how he must have been feeling. I think he knew he was dying but looking back we just couldn't. So many words left unsaid that I will never get back. I remember our last hug and I re-visit it all the time. Love always sis xo

We lost my brother suddenly, The way it happened was so traumatizing, I haven't really mourned his death. I miss him so much. I have another brother, but things being the way they are, I'm dead to him and him to me, only God understands...But the brother who was shot has been my greatest loss...I'm still not sure how to cope. With Gods help, I'm dealing...I feel your pain, your tears...your Loss...each day gets better...

Hello Brianna,
Your poem really touched this place in my heart. I can honestly understand. My brother was 6 months old and they said that he died from SIDS, but I was 2 1.2 and my real dad had killed him right in front of me. I am now 15 years old and it still replays in my head everyday. I miss him and I wish that he would still be here. I am really sorry for your loss. And I also need help. Again I'm sorry for all of your losses. My thoughts are with you. Thanks.

You all are so welcome...It's nice that other people can relate to how I feel. 'Cause most of the time I just feel so alone. It feels like the only people that know how I feel is my mom and dad.
*Feel free to comment I'm not on here very often but when I am I will definitely say my thanks ! :)

I found this poem the day after my little brother died on September 25, 2010. He was only seven years old. I was busy writing a few words down for his funeral and it spoke to me so I wrote it down. This is a great poem that even many more people will be able to relate to.

Thank you Brianna for this poem, I lost my older brother a year to this day ago in a hiking accident, he fell off a cliff. I was 17 and he was only 19. It brings me a lot of comfort knowing I'm not the only one going through this. He was my big brother, and I was not ready to say goodbye

Thank you everyone who commented on my poem, I really appreciate it. I lost my brother May 29, 2007 on our mom's birthday. It was and still is the hardest thing I've ever been through. It seems as it just gets harder each day that goes by. And I'm glad that I can share my poem with you and you can be touched by it.
So thank you so much again !

I lost my brother on May 17, 2009 its been so hard to go through a day knowing I never got to say good bye but I think I will see him again one day and he is my angel. So, who ever goes through what I do just remember he is always with you.

I lost 2 brothers this year 2 months apart. I grew up with them and it hurts deeply I miss them so much that some time it seems I can't go on without them . We did everything together. I know they suffered here on earth so I know they are without pain now.

I think this poem helped me..
I looked up to him so much since he was my big brother...
I don't know what I'm going to do without him, but I know that he's up in heaven watching over me n my whole family

My brother passed away 4 months ago and this poem is exact ally what I am feeling ..he will always be my bubba...

my older brother passed away from cancer when I was seventeen. I never got a chance to say goodbye and it kills me because he meant more than anything and I never got to tell him that,
This poem says the exact words I still feel, and it brings me comfort to know I'm not alone.

my little brother passed away 4 years just before Christmas. Got smashed into a bridge. (he was only 15 1/2) I was 19. I'm almost 24 now and when I came across your poem I just had to write you. Cause that is exactly what I used to write. And I still think about him. I'm at work and that poem almost made me cry.

I wanted to find a poem that kind of related to myself and my brother that committed suicide in September of this year. I started reading this and it really started to touch me and when I got down to the end it said, I love you Bubba, and that really got me, because that was what everyone called my brother.

This is so sad. No I don't know how you feel but I understand. Shed you're tears with others.
