    I'm sorry for your loss. Talking to people does help. I'm glad that you enjoyed talking about good times with friends. I hope you continue to talk to people. Sometimes after the funeral is over people stay away. So you may have to be the one to reach out. Praying you continue to have strength to get through your loss

    Glad to hear the service was healing. I know you were worried about it. It sounds lovely and 200 people is quite a tribute. Speaks loudly to who your brother was to many people. I agree, with Sweetcole, after the service many start to fade away and you will still need support. We sometimes have to teach others what we need. There will be some who can hang in there with you. Keep reaching out, take care of yourself and don’t push yourself too hard. Praying for your peace.
