Just Mom & Me.

From a family of 5 down to 2 in a matter of 8 years. I lost my middle brother Eric in 2003 to a drug overdose. In June 2011 I lost my brother Chris to liver cancer. Then, two weeks after my brother's death my Dad took his own life. It has all been so much death to bear and deal with at one time. My mom and I are doing the best that we can to go on. Some days are ok, and some days are hell. We are taking some hopefull steps to help lessen the great feelings of loss (like planning a possible trip to Italy next year) but the enormity of all of this loss in so short of a time sometimes seems to be the only thing that is left for us.
