Sending prayers your way times like this is when we can really prove to ourselves how strong we are, I’m sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
You are strong and just know once you get through this nothing can stop you. Your sibling would not want to ever know their passing made you relapse. This is something I’ve not been through so I can’t even imagine. Be strong.
I lost my husband right before our twentiethv anniversary. It was over three years ago, but I was there at his death, he was in great pain looking at me when he left. I’ve been there, but we each carry our own experience when we loose someone. No one can really know your pain. It’s a process, and it’s beyond painful. But each moment, is another towards a new hope. One you can’t imagine now. But it’s there. And you take your loved one with you, and they, through you, still impact this world, and live on. I’m so sorry, and there’s many of us here for you.

Prayers to you and your family. I can’t imagine. We’re all here for you
My condolences, I hope and pray that he was a believer, if so he’s not only not suffering anymore, you’ll have a chance to see him again
You and your loved ones are in my prayers 
I've lost both of my parents and my sister. The desire to numb the pain is an illusion. Live with both the pain and good memories. In time the good memories will dull the pain some. The pain will remain muted and distant, never gone, and you can move forward again

Brittany - how are you feeling today? we are Here for you
I'll be praying for you and your family.
I lost my sister several years ago. It is really hard because you think your siblings are going to be there always. I still pick up the phone to call her. Just like everything in life, one day at a time my friend

Sending you hugs.
I am so sorry for your loss Brittany.
Thank you for all the kind and comforting words, and for opening up about your experiences as well. I appreciate it so much. My good friend came to visit me last night and she just recently lost her dad. It was really healing for both of us to share in each other's grief and also share some laughs over old stories. I wrote my brother a song that I'd like to play for him and for my family at his service, but I probably won't be able to hold it together. It's been healing to write anyway, even if it's just for me. Thank you all again for reaching out. It really means the world.

Sorry for your loss
I wouldn't mind sharing. I'll send you a link once I have it recorded. 
So sorry for your loss.
I lost my parents; both in September, but 20 years apart.
Acceptance is the key. Your brother, God rest his soul, isn't coming back in this lifetime. Neither are my parents. Sometimes the pain is unbearable that the hurt hurts.
All the best to you.
