I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunatly 21 days after you lost your brother, I also lost my brother & father due to a drunk driver! The pain is horrible...I also had a survivor, but it was my mother. The drunk driver was not related to my family in any way...and I know how I feel towards him. So I can't imagine hating someone who my brother loved who is at blame for his death. I can't tell u that everything will be ok...because nothing will ever be the same again. But it's up to us to try and stop drunk driving because the goverment does'nt help and it's everyday normal family people like us that have to live on w/ broken hearts because someone had too much to drink & acted careless. My prayers go out to you and your family..but in your brother's behalf take care of your nephew because it takes one dumb move and life is gone. PROTECT HIM SWEETIE...

I lost my cousin in late August last year. Almost exactly the same time your brother's death. She was killed my a drunk driver while on her motorcyle. She died instantly too. Not only did the main hit her but he committed a hit and run. Luckily a witness saw what happened and got his license's plate number, and the cops were able to catch him while still intoxicated. Her death was all over the news. It was like a movie. I couldn't believe all of it was happening.
She died at 24. Her birthday was coming up in October.
This weekend (April 26th) her older brother will be getting married. It's not going to be the same without her. Nothing is the same w/o her.
I understand fully what you and your family is going through. You all will be in my prayers.
Just remember--you aren't alone.
Sincerely, Karen G.

had my brother stolen by drunk driver on my 35th b'day2006 by: LORRI STANDLEY
I am so very sorry for the pain you and your family are going through... The death of a sibling is a very hard thing to understand, at least for me. I've been going through a very deep dark depression. It is still hard for me to this day. My brother david was 29 and had 2 kids. A li'l girl names Erika she is 9 now and a son named zachary who is 8. I have not been permitted to see them since july of 2006. My brothers wife took right up with a 18 year old boy and got hooked on pills and alcohol. She moved out of our little town and took the kids with her. she will not let us talk to them,see them, write them, nothing. It is real hard. Not to mention I lost my Grandmother who raised me on March 7th at 2:04 pm 2008... She was the most important women in my life, she was my rock. I hope time gets easier for you, for us it has gotten different not better yet. The driver did get 15 yrs 8 months. It still didn't bring back my brother, but at least the driver who has had his 4th duii can't hurt anyone else.... Good luck my friend.......
