Joan,I am so sorry for the loss of your brother.When we experience the loss of a loved one we are left with a lot of things unsaid.Even when a death is expected we still feel this loss.I believe that we do meet our loved ones after death.All I can suggest is when you say your prayers you say what you wanted to tell your brother.I don't know if you go to church but your minister or spiritual leader will be able to give you the support you need at this time.You are in our thoughts.Take care.Gussie.

There is no definative answer to this, it entirely depends on your own beliefs. I am sorry for your loss but equally I don't want to tell you stuff I can't be sure is truth. I can only say I hope so and that the torture you feel right now will not endure.
Your Brother lives on in you and you need to find a way of making that special and not torturing yourself. We can never say all we want to those we lost but we can remember why we loved them and why they loved us, this is really much more important. I wish you ever ounce of peace you deserve in your grief.

Personally, without involving religious beliefs, I sometimes think that whenever we picture our dead loved ones in our mind and talk to them, we are really commnicating with them (this usually works when we're alone). I also believe that when we dream of people who died, that's the way they communicate back to us. When my grandad died, I dreamed of him a lot. It was never anything direct. Just basic stuff like going to the shops with him there etc. But it was really comforting.
Involving religion, I believe in Life after Death and that we'll all be ressurected one day, and sometimes, I just know that I'll see my grandad again.
Another way I suppose would be to go to the grave of your brother and talk to him there. That's what I did with my grandad, and it helps a lot. I wouldn't recommend all this psychic stuff, simply because I don't believe it helps, but to each his/her own. good luck :]

Oh Joan I understand your need completely and I don't know what to say I still feel very much the need to speak, touch and just be with my sister in the conventional sense but it's not possible and something I struggle with everyday since she died these are questions I asked and needed to know the answers I still do. I can't tell you how much I empathise with you in your grief. Love Barbx

Joan so sorry for your loss my daughter passed in august and it is very hard so I am not just saying I understand I do.
Yes you will see him again and what is more important is what ever it is you want to ask and tell him he already knows I am 100% sure of that.
There were lots of things I would have liked to have said and done with my daughter but do you know Joan she knows I cant explain how I know I just know and I know your brother does.
email me Joan I will reply to you.

In my beliefs i think that you will. I believe in afterlife. I have you ever thought about seeing a psychic or anything? I'm not sure if you believe in that or not or what your beliefs are, but my grandfather just passed away a week ago this coming Sunday and i strongly believe that he is with me and i can talk to him now.. I know in my heart that i will see him again! and i know that he is in a better place! i just depends on your beliefs. I hope that this helps with your question, i dont know you or your beliefs but i would like to believe that you will see him again! I'm sorry about your loss.

Of course you will Joan, it's only the body that dies, the spirit (who we actually are) moves on, just because you can't see your brother now doesn't mean you can't speak to him, give it a go, it might make you feel better!

I'm very sorry to hear you lost your brother. Loosing a family member is such a hard thing. You will see him again. He will be there waiting for you when you enter heaven. You shall be united again.

I find a quiet place and think of him. I go over things I would like to ask him and things I would like to say to him. this gives me a sense of peace .I know he is there listening to me somewhere . I know losing someone so close is so devastating. but knowing you will meet again is something you have to hang on to I wish you peace and love.
