My family before me experienced sibling death in a similar prime. I only know about it as a child of one of the surviving siblings but it haunted that entire generation. Knowing all I do about how it affected my parent in their younger years I will say that you're very strong to claim your own identity. Do not use your brother as a yardstick to measure the worth of your own life because they cannot measured to each other and don't let anyone else do it to you. Your post made me very happy Noah Swartz and hope it leads you down a better path than the one I've learned of.
- mitchtbaum 11y agoThank you for adding this other dimension; children of siblings that experience this type of loss. My mother lost her brother in his prime, so this gives Noah and Aaron's relationship meaning I can just now see. For me, my uncle, like other relatives that passed before my birth, only live through stories that came through in our family's experiences afterward. I have so much gratitude for my mother, that they shared so much in their lives together, and that she could pass on such a rich history for me to build on.
