Sorry for your loss. You got this! 1☀️@⏰ 

I'm really sorry about that :( 

Sorry for your loss.  

Sorry for your loss. My only sibling - my sister -- died in the middle of the pandemic in May 2020. No family or friend could be with her, because the caregivers said if COVID came into the house they would no longer care for her. It was devastating -- it's been 3 years, and I am still recovering, so I truly do understand. I ate my way up to 222 in the aftermath. Now, I have to lose the same damn 70 pounds I lost 10 years ago. Good luck to you! 

Sorry for your loss 

💔 

Heartbreaking and unfortunately grief has no set time limit.  

I lost my estranged father in December. That was harder than I thought. I told my brother and wife that I want to go before they do. If the pain of losing a father I haven't seen in 18 years was hard, I don't want to even try to imagine what it's like to lose someone close to me.

so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏 I know the pain of loosing a brother. Back in November of 2020 my baby brother was killed in a fire and supposedly shot first and I wasn't able to be there and go see him due to me being in jail for battery at the time. I've always regretted not being able to be there for my brother and then maybe he wouldn't have been in the fire or I could have pulled him out. the law did say he was dead before the fire. in which I an everyone else thinks his wife at the time murdered him. it's still a subject I don't talk about much. I got so depressed and gained weight up to 374 now I am doing a little bit better trying to get through life and loose weight back. I've lost 45lbs need to loose 60-100 more. But take it easy and a day at a time it takes us awhile sometimes to process the grief of loosing a brother or family member.  

sorry for your loss 

So sorry for your loss.  

So sorry about the passing of your brother. I too have experienced deaths in my immediate family spanning 50+ yrs. My first husband, my brother, and others both young & old. in my devotional reading this morning, a quote, "when you have a broken heart, give the broken pieces to GOD" HE is the only One Who can mend them. Casting all your cares on HIM for HE cares for you (1 Peter 5:7) was a verse that was meaningful to me in those times. May GOD grant you comfort & peace & a resolve to honor your brother's memory. 

I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand completely. I know what it's like to feel like a part of you died along with a loved one. All that is left of my little family is my husband, kids, grandkids, a niece, 2 nephews, and their kids. I became the elder of my family at 42 years old a few years ago. Comfort food really feels like a friend, but it truly is a wolf in sheep's clothing. TBH... I RARELY go through anyone's journal, but I did go through yours when I saw you post a throwback reflection pic a while ago. I saw that when your brother died, that was your trigger. I AM SO SORRY that happened! 😢 😞 Sometimes, we have to try to turn things like that on its head, like trying to think what they would want for us if they were here & then use that to honor them & help push us back from the cliff (so to speak) at the same time. That thought process has really helped me in many different life situations because I STILL want to make them proud. I hope it can help you, too! 💜 

I'm sorry for your loss DP. My husband lost a sibling a few years ago and he is still grieving. It's a difficult process that we all deal with differently. My heart goes out to you and sending hugs your way 🩷💔🩷🩷 

In the process of mourning, don’t let the sadness of your loss destroy the opportunities you have to love, cherish and spend time with those that are still living. Mourning can move on to celebrating that person’s life and remembering the wonderful things about them and the joy of having had them in your life. 

It's not ridiculous. It's totally understandable. Such a loss is hard to deal with, takes a long time to deal with, and food is an easy and comforting coping mechanism. I lost my sister 4 years ago and I'm still struggling, though there have been other compounding circumstances that are affecting my mental and physical health. It's hard to take care of yourself when you're overwhelmed with grief and or other feelings. Give yourself grace, and love and accept yourself. It's easier to move towards positive change if you're going at it with love rather than disappointment, disgust, hate of your body. Take credit for what you have accomplished. You're here, and you're still trying. That says a lot. 

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss 

Hugs.
