Peace be upon you all. As I explained before in one of my question today is the 18th aniversary of my brother's birthdate. He died almost 16 years ago in Nov 2. I usually remember my brother on this date. Eventhough he lived 2 days (almost) and I was wondering for those who have lost loved ones... Does the sadness ever ever go away? I feel better now much better than in my pre-islamic era:) but still I think in a way I have sadness in my heart and I pray that it does go away....
Thanks in advance for your response.
Respectfully,
Muslimah

I certainly hope not. Without sadness there can be no appreciation of happiness. I have lost a lot of people, and that sadness keeps them in my thoughts.

The memory of your baby brother will last forever but the intensity of the sadness you feel will continue to diminish over time. You are a person who is very caring with deep emotions.Maybe you could discuss your sense of sadness with someone from your church, who possibly could offer you some spiritual comfort. Your baby brother is surrounded by the holy light of Jesus and is surrounded by angels. I am Christian and that belief, knowing and believing there is an afterlife that is magnificent and glorious, helps me let go of the sadness i carry for loved ones i have lost.

Sadness will go away only when you have a good reason to realize that it is not beneficial for you or for someone else. In this case your sadness is only harmful to you and to your brother. He needs your prayer for the progress of his soul, not your sadness. And of course, sadness is harmful to your health. Moreover, you should thankfully remember your brother every day in your prayer, and not only on the day of his passing.
You need to read the Holy Books to know what we can do for the betterment of our dear ones in the other world.

I'm sorry about your brother, but I've lost both of my parents at a young age, and the sadness does go away if you learn how to let it go. Just think about the good things in life that you already have and others don't.

May I rely on the Holy Qur'an for an answer! A verse appears repeatedly in many situations and contexts: wa la khauf-un 'alai-him, wa la hum yahzinoon... On them( the reward from Allah in this life ) is that they shall be absolved of apprehension/fear and they shall have no sadness/grief/ anxiety/ depression. Be ready to deserve and receive this reward from Allah, inshaAllah. It is said that the infants shall also intercede by His assent, on the Day of Judgement. Your brother may be your best friend on that Day .

He is in heaven. Plain and simple. He is with God right now. That is reason for great joy. Sadness goes away little by little. Remember Nehemiah 8:10, "Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength." Praising and thanking God is a great source of Strength and Joy. Be Blessed.

the sadness will never go away but the hurt will fade with time. the happy memories will replace the sadness. remember the wisdom and knowledge he passed on as this will benefit you in the future. please understand i remember the good times and forget the bad.
Blessings to you and your family. will say a Prayer for THE GREAT MYSTERY to help you in your time of remembrance.

the memory of your brother may never fade, but if you pray to the Lord Jesus about it, he will send the Holy Spirit to comfort you. when we all reach heaven, sadness, pain, tears, and suffering will forever be gone. we will live in an eternal bliss

Time heals. If you let it. If you make a special occasion for remembering it will be more difficult. Make sense?
Pray? Why? There is no-one there. It is all in your mind. Set yourself free and drop the idea? Make sense?

It depends on you, I loved my grand mom, but she died just a few months earlier,
She was only 65(don't mind).
I was sad for a few days, but maybe, she might have gotten a worst life. so there are maybes that she died for a good reason.
God does only what is good for you,
trust him and me.
C ya
Don't be sad
I hope you got what i mean,
Tammy
