My sadness is for him because he did not want to die. We talked and laughed and made plans to be together in the next couple of weeks. Now my sister-in-law and younger brother are burying him in 2 days and that does not give me enough time to get to them without incurring major cost. I feel helpless again. My husband committed suicide and I still struggle with that. This day just brings up so many feelings of David and how I wish I could go now. No more time lines and work and bills and plans and life to navigate through. Just sad....
 
I am so very sorry about your brother dying. I am so sorry that you will not be able to go to the funeral and sending you hugs and healing vibes. I am sorry for the pain and anguish you are currently experiencing and that you are sad because of your husband as well on top of your brothers death. I hope that you can make some kind of ceremony at your home to give your brother a proper sendoff and some real closure for you. Hugs.
 
Would take a hard look at your opening post and the ease with which you blend (seemingly) the incident itself and yourself/your abilitiy. Grief and self pity don't really mix.
