AWWWWW Lil Bright Eyes... It saddens me profoundly to be unable to just take you in my arms and rock you while you scream until your anger turns back into the tears it is hiding... If I was in Edmonton, I'd be doing exactly that today...
Your anger is representing the terrible hurt you feel over not being able to smack him one for taking away the rest of your lives together... There isn't a loving heart in this room who won't know that you would not feel this way if you had not loved him so very much... He was blessed to have you as his sister...
Mish... looking back at yourself when you were 15 or 16, you know that he was little more than a baby when he took his own life... And babies, children... are egocentric and largely feelings driven... 16 years is not very much time on this earth to have learned to be able to use our mental (adult) skills to cope with the huge emotional (child) feelings we have... What he was capable of understanding intellectually at that age is but a pin drop of what he would understand now about handling the huge feelings he must have had... He had no way of knowing what others felt or thought because at that age, he had not yet evolved himself... It is important for you to understand that as you deal with your grief Honey... He had no way of knowing...
Some time ago, I wrote a story that I called "Jenny's Dream" and it is posted under "Silken Talks" here... It's been some time since I've read it myself but I think it talks about how I came to believe in this life that each one of us actually chooses the way and the time when our lives will end BEFORE we are ever born... I truly do believe this and it gives me comfort when my heart refuses to understand the losses that seem so bloody unfair.... I hope I wrote it there... and I hope that it helps you.... even if only a tiny bit today...
I know you know it's okay to be angry... It's the brother/sister way to pull hair, get into each other's stuff and love each other deeply... If you are going to his resting place to pull his hair, he probably smiles at you while you are there knowing that if he was here where you could get at him, you'd be kickin' his butt...
I want to find the words to offer you comfort... to help you find peace... but I think you already have in your own way... So.... my arms are around you Lil Bright Eyes... and in spirit, I am holding you until you can dry your eyes and get on with this business of living for both of you...
With so much love Mish across the miles Honey...
Luv always,
