Ah man, the 2 year mark is closing in on me. It’s gonna be here so fast, i don’t even have proper time to prepare myself. It’ll just hit me, like everything hits me.
Like the memories that creep in, late at night. Or the details i don’t want to forget. Or the feelings, the emotions, every little thing my heart and soul feel. It always hits me, when i’m least prepared. Late nights, lonely late nights.
There’s still so much sadness.
And then there’s anger.
Because for fucks sake, i hate it when people ask if “im over it yet”. Or when people say we should just “move on with our lives”. As if it’s that simple. Jesus Christ man, don’t fucking say stuff like that. My parents and I will never “get over” the death of my brother.
The fact we lost him is still so present everywhere in our house. Because we still lose him everyday, in the empty chair at our table. Or the untouched bed. And his clothes folded up in his closet. His xbox gathering dust. Never hearing him laugh and speak and even curse. Or never hearing him ask me how my day was, what i did in school, how much homework i have.
We still lose him every single day, in big things but also in details. In everything.

I’m sorry for what happened to you and your family. Fuck the people that tell you to get over it or move on. I would punch them. You need to feel how you feel
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how hard that must be for you. If that happened to me, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. I guess when you lose someone you love you’ll feel like you might go crazy. Your anger at the people who say insensitive things like that is justified. I don’t believe that one simply “gets over it” like they say, you cannot simply forget a loved one and move on just like that, I think one just tries their best to endure the pain and live with it. May you find the strength to still continue to carry on each day.
So sorry for your loss 🙁
