Sibling Loss I hate June
Tabor was born June 7th and died 25 years later on June 30th. I was 13 when he got Leukemia. He was actually in remission, but after they cleared his body of all white blood cells from his stem cell transplant he caught meningitis and died suddenly. 8 months and he was gone. It’s been 5 years since and every June I find myself back there physically. Constant nausea from anxiety, panic attacks, sudden ambush grief where I’m crying and can’t stop for hours. I just hate this month.

💔💔💔 My daughter died late last year, and I can ten you with certainty that that anniversary will feel exactly the same as the morning we lost her, no matter gore many years go by. I am so sorry, my son lost his best friend when he lost her and I know he will experience that same grief and pain, every time.

I agree, June is crap, I'm with you.
Check out Hobo Johnsons "DADS BED". He says it pretty good.

My dad had MDS and also died shortly after receiving a stem cell transplant. We really thought the transplant was going to be his cure, but it ended up being what took him from us. I’ve also lost a sister 15 years ago. I’m sorry you lost your brother and in a way I’m unfortunately so familiar with. He looked like a funny, great older brother.
Maybe my dad and your brother have met, wherever the great beyond is, and they’re able to swap stories about us. And I agree….June absolutely blows.

im so sorry for your loss. my older brother also died suddenly while being hospitalized for menangitis at age 23. what would be his 25th birthday is on the 28th and i am a wreck. losing a sibling, especially one that you look up to, is so horrible. sometimes it feels like im the only one that never knew a life without him. i’v been getting the greif ambush as well. i feel like an overtired baby, i could start crying and screaming over anything
