My brother had a genetic disorder called Retts syndrome and died at the age of 16 due to sepsis and organ failure . He died July of 2020 and because of Covid I feel that he didn’t get a proper funeral which makes me feel guilty and kinda makes his death even harder for me . I find it hard to find people to relate to my grief as I knew he would only live a short time. Where as a lot of other people the death is unexpected and I kinda always had to grieve his loss before he even died . I knew he’d never get to see most of my accomplishments in life and my grief Journey had to start even before his death . I witnessed my brother almost die , where his heart stopped at different ages his life as well .
