I 2 know how u feeling about ur brother I lossed mine to drug over dose in 2017 the pain still hurts deep and feeling loss😢
I’m so sorry to hear this, Jennifer. Hugs to you.

Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful heartfelt words. I know many of them all too well… right down to looking for a flickering light and waiting in the stillness of the night for a sign or answer showing he’s still with me…
Your words let me know I’m not alone in more ways than one ❤️
I’m so sorry, Shawna, for your loss. Thank you for your kind comment (and I apologize your comment took so long to get to– it went to spam for some reason!). Be well, and big hugs to you. <3
