It’s been 2 weeks, 1 day, and 14 hours

First, I am so sorry about your brother. May the emptiness you feel throughout this time of loss be replaced by the love you shared on earth.

Secondly, this is a beautifully heartfelt tribute that he is proud of, as well as you.  It reminds me of Prince's "Nothing Compares to You", and that's saying a lot considering no other tribute I've read has moved me as such.

You and your family are in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about your brother (it must be hard) and my thoughts are with you. This is a beautifully written piece. Such a great tribute to your brother.

Oh, Rain, these are the sunsets that burn the eyes. My heart is with you in your grief. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss.

Tara, my dear friend, I had been concerned by your absence and messaged you last week on FB. It concerned me even more when I heard nothing back. Now I understand. My heart goes out to you. If only I could wrap my arms around you and absorb your pain. But grieving the loss of your brother cannot be soothed. Know that you are loved most deeply and I am here to hear you...

Tara, mo Chara choth`aimid....My condolences to you and your family. I am sooo sorry that you are experiencing such a tragic loss.

Through your words, your pain is poignantly expressed, and it touches  all who read your piece soul-deep.It is with extraordinary courage that you have shared such a private time with us, and i hope that it gives you some solace and helps with your healing.

To be certain, your brother's presence will always be with you--watching over you with love and pride...always close in your thoughts and memories....forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

The last line of a well-known Irish blessing is: "...May God hold you in the palm of His hand." May you find soothing serenity in your faith, and know that i am keeping you,  and yours, in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending you love, and warm comforting hugs,

Enchantress

I'm so sorry for this extremely painful loss Rain.  Time moves glacially when this kind of tragedy occurs, and you count the weeks, days and hours.  To say this will pass doesn't diminish what you're experiencing now if you're like me.  I lost a sister recently so I know how this feels.  I doubt that I'll be feeling closure any time soon.  In any case you're not alone Rain.  Thanks so much for sharing this fine write.  

Let love be with you, Tara. And remember bodies are temporary, souls are forever...

/hugs...

Wow. What a write. What a tribute to your brother. I am so very sorry for your loss.... May good times and strength  come your way. Beautifully written, made me cry.

Your work is always lovely. Like watching a flower bloom for the very first time, entranced by the growth, and the emotions it invokes.

my deepest condolences love. *tightest hug* a new dawn is waiting.

Dearest Tara,

I am so sorry to hear about your brother. My thoughts are with you as you continue to deal with this. Losing people never gets easier, and it seems that time doesn't always heal. But the memories never fade!

Your brother lives on in your heart, memories, and beautiful words.

May the elements forever be with you, Tara,
Jessica Dawn

Definitely touches the heart...so reminded of Prince and The Commodores (Nightshift)

Heartbreaking piece. Sorry for your loss xx

know time will eventually soothe the pain
and beautiful memories will coat the ache
but it’s been 2 weeks, 1 day, and 14 hours
since your sunset…

and I haven’t seen
the sun…
since.


excellent pen, Rain
heartbreaking x

please don't stop writing- use the pain
its just slight of hand
I need your voice
although I just met you
well, kinda met you-digitally
I will leave you with something from Ms. Braxton-

"Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart"

wonderful tribute...warm feeling throughout-J

Such a beautiful sentiment to your loving brother
My thoughts are with you at this time,when I shut my eyes & imagine this soul brother I see a loving happy soul with a beautiful nature that is on the other side of life still loving & missing you & wants you to rejoice forever more in the loving bond you both share & bonds like that can never be broken my darling
((((Mega ink hug)))

dam, I know I'm late, but I know his love will live in your heart till y'all reunited,...

Powerful and touching, my condolences. I had a professor once tell me that many times personal tragedy becomes a contribution to the literary world, not that it makes it any less painful.  Peace & Love

This is touching
