Is it normal to still think about it?

My brother died a year and a half ago, but I still fall asleep almost every night crying because I think imma see him the next day and then I realize I never will again and I ask y he did what he did and then I realize it's because people are stupid. I didnt really see him all that much because we r both adopted and only met twice or three times a year, but we were still sort of close. They don't see the signs of depression as often as they should, and that is why our teen suicide rate is going up. my question has nothing to do with that tho, it's just death in general. Is it normal to still think about my brother every day a year and a half after he is gone?

    Absolutely yes! My 17 yo nephew died over 4 years ago now, and although I didn't see him every day, it's taking me until now to even function on a day to day basis.

    I'm so sorry for you loss :o(

    I'd say you are very normal. Losing someone you really care about can put a big empty feeling where your heart used to be. But the sharp pain does dull and good memories remain.
    I am very sorry for your lose. Tell you what. My Gram and my Dad both died years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them and miss them and be glad they were in my life.
