    Doodle....I am so sorry for the loss of your brother!

    I have been fortunate and have never lost a sibling, but I did lose my father when I was 20. I know it is not the same thing, but the one thing that I can offer to you as a comfort is that as time goes by the hurt will lessen somewhat, but your memories of him will comfort you.

    Please make sure you cherish the memories you have of him, and do not avoid the funeral. I think you might regret that. Also, if you can, please ask your family to make sure that besides just a funeral talk, that there is an actual eulogy for your brother. My mother was not in the state of mind when she planned my dad's funeral, so it just a stupid JW standard talk. Nothing about him. My mother really regrets that.

    Take the time you need to grieve I am not familiar with how your relationship is with your parents, but don't let the fact that they are JWs and you are not interfere with grieving with them as a family. I think everyone needs that. I was returning to the KH when my dad died, but I was able to grieve right along with all my non JW siblings and did not care that they did not have the same beliefs as I did. It may help somewhat..

    Take care of yourself kiddo...I know you have the strength to get through this difficult time.

    I'm so sorry. I can't imagine...I only have one brother and no sisters. Thankfully none of my family were ever in the borg. Keep your chin up and know we're thinking of you.
