  hello ss, I hope you don't mind but I googled your brother's name and saw all the tribute sites to him. You must be so very proud that he was loved by so many and taken doing something that he loved doing.

  Sending you my very, very best wishes, Wx

  Hello simplyshimona,
  It must be very difficult for you to have lost him. May I ask what happened ? Only answer if you feel ready to do so.
  It seems that you are new here, so be welcome.

  Loss is the most difficult emotion to live with - nothing fills it, nothing takes it away - it just sits so heavy within. He looks like a very special man - it matters he is here on The Wall - he will be forever. And today by making this tribute to him and to the importance of talking of your loss - Reuben and your missing of him will enable so many more to simply share how much those they love who are no long physically present have touched their lives. Thank you, love roze

  Hi all.
  Thanks for your encouragement.

  No I don't mind Wolfie - I am very proud of him and the impact he has had on many lives through his music, passion for life and the things he loved to do.

  OVerseas, Reuben died at the age of 23 in a dragon boating accident in Cambodia last year. He was one of 5 Singaporean representatives in an international competition.

  I spent most of the last year being very busy and sort of avoiding on purpose how much I miss him. The thought of never seeing him again for the rest of my life breaks my heart.

  He was my only brother, and now I feel very alone without him.

  Roze, you're absolutely right about Loss.
  And I seem to have tasted way too much of it in the last year - my husband decided to leave me and I am coming to terms with being alone again.

  
  Still, I believe life is to be lived happily. Despite the ugliness that can be dealt to us. And being a believer in God, I know that He has brought my through all this for something... in the meantime, I'm just living from day to day.

  What a dreadful time for you. To lose your brother and then your husband leaving you. That is so much to cope with. Do you have people around that provide you with support and whom you can talk with? Thinking of you, love Roze

  Yes, I do... Got some real good friends and my Father guiding me everyday. Thanks. :)
  Blogging and music are also ways I release...
  This place is great too. Just knowing that I'm not alone.

  I am sorry for your loss. I lost my brother many years ago. He was a beautiful baby.
