I will pray for him and for u. Email me if you need anything and if you would like to talk about it. I, too, had an older brother that had problems when he was younger and he is now a much better man.

You don't say why your brother is getting locked up but sometimes in life a person has to reach rock bottom before they turn their life around.You cannot change the fact that he is being locked up and that you will be separated for a period of time.Your brother will have to address the challenges he will be facing.You don't say how old you are but maybe you could write to him and let him know you care.You must not let this situation become a burden so that you miss school or work.You cannot stop living your life. Of course you will miss him .Pray for him and for yourself to be strong.Your brother must look at this as an opportunity to think about how he can change his life and he can do it if hewants to.Take care and try not worry.Talk to your parents and they will help you through this.

He has obvioulsly done something and this is his punishment for it. Sometimes, it takes things like this for the person to realize that they can't get away with everything and that it is time to stop their old ways - many people get reformed in prison and while many also do not - let's hope he sees this as a big sign to turn his life around.
Write him often and let him know how you feel - tell him that you have always looked up to him and that you are so upset that he is choosing to do the wrong things with his life - that he deserves so much more and could really have a nice, happy life. Reach out to him, be there for him - he will need you. You are both in my thoughts & prayers - I hope he comes through on the other side. He can use this experience to bring him down or build him up - help him choose the right one. :o)

I will pray for your brother and for you and your family. I know how hard things are right now for you but you are lucky that you know your brother is coming back to you someday. My brother, was my best friend. We did everything together and were inseparable. He tragically died Oct 25 2005. A seizure that had ruptured his brain. His neighbor found him in his apt. I'll never get over this. I know the true bond of the brother and sister.

I will say a prayer for you and your family (brother in jail included), what you are going through as a family is not easy at all. I have a sister and a now deceased brother in law that got themselves caught up in crimes and drugs and ended up in jail and it was awful for my family. But now the good news, after they were both released they got their acts together a bit. Unfortunately it was a little too late for my brother who died of drug related health issues, but my sister now is doing better than ever before. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but he has to be the one who sees it. And you can't live your life through or because of the choices he had made. Be there for him but don't support him and use his life lessons in your life so you don't make the same mistakes. Have a good night and take care.

I am sorry for your brother and I will pray for him but allof us have to pay a price for every decision we make (good or bad). Maybe what he needs to do is look at the decision he made that landed him in lock-up and decide that once he gets out ,he will change his actions for the better. Keep him in your prayers and I will too. God bless you for worrying about your brother. You must have a good heart.

I am sorry for you, your brother and your family. I am also sorry for the insensitive people who answered your question. All you can hope is that your brother will learn from being locked up that nothing is worth your freedom, and that he stays safe and changes his ways when he comes out. Be there for him for support emotionally even if you disagree with what he did to get himself there - he will always remember you for that. I will pray for all of you.

Things will work out. Maybe I'm just saying it will give discipline. And when he gets out he will know first hand that the life he had b/4 will be not a good choice and he will know now the life he needs to move and make a good choice and life for himself.
