Im angry and resentful at my friends

I think they don't know how to comfort, because I know sometime "I'm sorry for you loss..." can be just about the worst thing to say.They probably don't know how to react to the situation but I'm sure they are concerned.

also, you are still grieving. your brother's passing is still new. anger is one of the steps in grieving.

nobody is going to understand your pain until they experience it themselves.

i hope you are feeling somewhat better today, time helps and is a huge factor:)

Hey screw them i would be angry and resentful too!

hey sorry about your brother..but same for me my friends always push me out and i always feel lonley cus my parent herdly eva listen to me ....you an me, we're alike.....haha lol jks...still i am sooo sorry about your brotherr..hmmm maybe your should make some new friends ..friends who appreciate you like a realfriend should.

firstly, let me tell you, even though we don't know each other, how deeply saddened I feel for you with the loss of your brother. i remember loosing my own dear brother, then my sister. it's horrible.

seirra is right, we aren't taught how to handle death. then when it happens, we don't know how to find comfort and our friends don't know how to comfort us.

older people have seen death over and over, and they get the hang of how to handle it, both for their own losses and the losses of friends. younger people, well, it scares them. they don't know what to do or say.

forgive your friends. i am assuming that you are young, being that the texting thing was mentioned. you see, adults would never consider sending condolances by way of texting.

time heals all wounds, my dear. talk to someone who is older and can give you the comfort you are seeking.

Im sorry to hear about your brother. Grief and loss are hard enough to deal with, without being alienated from friends. I know it won't excuse how your friends are acting, but maybe I can shed light on why they are distancing themselves. Most people do not know what to do in these situations- I live in south US and unfortunatly the practice for death is to be hush about it instead of talking about how the person is feeling. We tend to say things like "I don't want to bring it up and make them think about this- I don't want to bother them- They just need time alone"... and it is so wrong. This might be what your friends are saying to themselves- they might feel that you WANT to be left alone, and don't realize that you NEED to talk, that you ARE thinking about your brothers death all the time.

It is very normal to feel angry and upset and hurt by everyone. Your "mood" is part of the healing process. I encourage, that if you have a really good friend, to pull them aside and tell them how it hurt you that they were silent. To tell them that you NEED to talk about it and that your feeling so hurt and angry. This will open up the door for them to talk to you- to realize that your not just some crazy, mood swinging person- that you are just grieving. I encourage you to also talk to your parents, and grieve together- maybe even to a counselor at your school or work... if its available to you. Whatever you do, don't shut off- Force yourself to talk about it, join a support group, or a church group if you need to- But don't remain silent... Again I am sorry for your loss and I wish you the best of luck- Things will get better and one day you will be able to think about all the good times you had with your brother.
