> > the loss of my brother earlier this year in Iraq whilst working for an aid agency (actually, 'loss' here is just a euphemism for murder)has sent me completely over the edge and into a depression that I now have very little interest left in fighting.
***I am so sorry to hear of your suffering. I can't imagine how painful that is.
Was this your brother younger or older?
Can you talk about him?You are in shock....it takes a while to come out of that kind of shock. Please be patient with yourself.
Untimely death of any kind is just too hard to bear.
My partner lost a child in a fire. He's still working on the incredible feelings that are still around this issue. His son died on July 4th, 20 years ago.
So you see we all need time to move through and heal. There are no miracle cures. But self patience and being kind to yourself will help.
please keep in touch, this is a wonderful group of people who really care.
