Makes Me Think - Today, I realized that even though my brother died almost 7 years ago, when people ask, I still automatically say I have two brothers and four sisters. Wondering how long it will take for this wound to heal and feel normal MMT.

You still have two brothers, the same way I still have a father although he passed when I was a child. Accepting his death is not denying he lived, it is embracing that he lived. Embrace your memories, and share those with your friends and family, it will keep his memory alive. I guarantee that some people will believe they had the right to know, from the beginning, that your brother passed away. But it is your right to share that when you feel comfortable, because it was your loss - please remember this.
