Coping with Loss: My unspoken Grief for My Brother
I haven't told anyone this. The day my bother left after his last visit is etched in my memory. It was a rushed farewell, devoid of the proper goodbye I had envisioned. I missed the chance to express my love and to tell him to stay, and in my desperation, I turned to my computer, you see, in that moment I had no cellphone, and was to of an introvert to call him and actually say what I felt, so I ended up sending him an email in the attempt to change his plans. The deafening silence of no response left a void in my heart, a feeling of helplessness that still haunts me. I'm pretty sure the email did not arrive to his inbox, and stupid of me, so young, I should have just picked up the phone and should had called him.
