Just try one minute at a time.  When the time comes and if you can go to the service then you do... if not that is ok... you have to do what is best for you.

You might try writing down some of your feelings... maybe even write a letter to your brother telling him how you felt.  While it isn't what you really want, it certainly can help.  Journaling in general can really be a helpful tool and so can  just coming here and posting... just some way to get it out.

Grief is a long hard journey and it takes a lot of work.  One second, one minute, one day at a time... it is all you can do.

Hold on tight,

Dear Mommabear,

So sorry for your loss!!!  I too lost my brother on Feb 19  but my loss goes back to 2000.  I have experienced multiple losses in my family and totally understand why  you are feeling the loss of you father again.  Grieving is a long difficult process and there is not a wrong or right way to go about it, we just muddle thru the best we can.   Even though it's not easy everthing you are feeling is helping your work your way thru your grief.  Take care of yourself!!!!
