ehy hi, mm I lost my brother , he had cancer. mmm I started to get " better " (you´re never better or the same") when I started thinking that every time I laughed or smiled , I would do it so as my brother know I am not suffering. It´s a silly think.
What we knew (me, father,my mom and my little brother) that he may die because of the cancer, he said to us that he was ready for death but not for leaving us, because he would miss us.
I also imagine my brother walking next to me sometimes, I invented conversations and what would he answered... I understood that he is better now, because if he would have survived , he would be physically impared, which is something he would have hated a lot. So, I know he is not suffering. WE sometimes think of ourselves only, and not of the others. We wanted /want him back, but sometimes we have to let go.

Answering to the question, I think I am just surviving,and gathering happy moments with my family.I recently quitted my 30-hour a week job to become a full-time student. I stil did notfall in love so I don´t know what life on its fullest is... so .. I am not happy nor unhappy...

Bienvenida, Msara.

Sad to read about your brother. I hope the day comes soon when you can be truly happy while also remembering him. Of course, take your time; a period of sadness is healthy.

And good luck going back to full-time studies.

'Everything that kills me makes me feel alive'

There's truth to that. When I was on the motorcycle, I knew that the margins to death were a lot thinner. It made me more aware of my surroundings - the air around me, the pavement and its texture under my tires, the feel of speed and balance, the sense of what others were doing or might do. Being on a motorcycle makes me feel more alive, because you have to have more of yourself in play to counteract the risks.

Same way with rock climbing, bungy jumping, or any "thrill" activity. It's got lots more electricity than mundane life.

I am trying to deal with the accidental death of my 18 year old daughter. She had just started a course in Forensic Science at Sheffield Hallam University. Therefore I need somebody to invent a time machine so I can correct this mistake. I used to live a life which included art and literature nd creativity but at this point in time I am capable of nothing except reading and watching old British sitcoms. My daughter Caroline Hazel Everest died on the 22nd of November 2015. A date which is famous for death, tragedy, and the loss of potential greatness. I called my little girl Carrie .... and I miss her so much

Chris, I remember seeing this on the news, my thoughts are with you
