I'm sorry for your loss.  Please take care of yourself.  this must be very hard for you.

I am so sorry for your loss.  It has not been very long and grief takes a while to settle so that you even know what to expect from it.  It is going to be especially hard with your new sobriety.  I hope that you are getting the support you need.  You are fortunate that you have a place to go where you feel your brother's presence.  That is a true gift.

So sorry for your loss.

I know in some cities that I've lived in, the local HIV/AIDS organizations have grief groups. Have you considered something like this?

I am so very sorry for your loss. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Please consider finding a grief groupl to help you work through this difficult time.

So sorry about your brother. 

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Grieving is such a long process and you can't take any time off when it feels as if you can't take it anymore. Be gentle with yourself and remember that your brother wouldn't want you to be unhappy. He'd want you to enjoy your life. This is the kindest thing you can do for your brother and it just so happens it's also kind for yourself -- when you can, grab happiness and don't let go.

I’m so sorry. We all grieve in our own way and at our own pace. Don’t try to hurry the process. 

Mostly be good to yourself. 

I am very sorry to read that your brother passed away. . It IS very hard when a sibling dies. I also have experienced this.

Going to Mass, I believe, was a way for your brother to connect to and with you.

I will offer my Rosary for you and to the brother of cntmom today.

My thoughts are with you. Please do take care of yourself. There are stages of grief that will sneak up on you, especially with addiction in your background.

I lost my brother while I was still drinking. We lost a great friend in November to suicide, and the grief almost pushed me back into my old ways. I am here if you want to vent/talk etc.

Hugs to you.

My brother committed suicide 18 years ago and I still struggle.  My closest family/friend/sibling.  Writing this, tears leak down my cheek.  It get's better. Manageable. I promise.  Grief flares and subsides.  PM me if you wish to talk.

You are not alone.

ETA:  I do not carry the grief with me every day anymore. Then, though ---  It brought me to my knees. Difficult to express to anyone who hasn't lived it, but that sounds so self-absorbed. Suicide watch for my parents ... I am so sorry that you are struggling through this.

ETA-2: Drinking doesn't numb the hurt well enough. Completely sucks since it should. Massive fail.  Reach out
