Why is life so unfair?

I had to go to my brother's funeral a couple of days ago, the brother I loved and grew up with, the brother who was only 34 and who died of bowel cancer.

It was an absolutely wonderful service, with over 100 people and the celebrant read my reading and tribute out to him amazingly. He also read my dad's eulogy in such a touching way too.

I nearly cracked up when they were bringing out the coffin though, and then when we had to follow it into the service.

It's so so unfair and sometimes I truly despise how bloody crap life is at times. Stupid stupid cancer! Why did my brother have to get it...?! 😥😢

So sorry for the loss of your brother. I hope you have friends and family, and can support each other at this horrible time. Cancer is so cruel, I have lost some very dear friends to it. The senselessness of it makes it that much harder to bear.

I'm sorry that you've lost your brother OP. I too lost my brother to cancer, he was 28. It is utterly shit. You're right, life is a steaming pile of shite sometimes.

Three years on I can now say that I don't feel the pain of grief so much, it's just become a part of my story. So hang in there! Grief is strange and non-linear, you just have to let it throw you around a bit. I think about him so much, that in a way I don't miss him, even though I love him to bits.
