Losing a sibling with Down syndrome
This was left as a comment - I hope some of you will respond:
My amazing brother, Charlie, had Down Syndrome. Charlie lived to be 53 and just passed away Jan. 25th, 2011. I am his little sister, Marie, and I feel like part of me died, too. Losing him has hurt more than any other death I have endured, and at this point in my life (I'm 43) I have lost my parents, grandparents and another brother. Yet, nothing has prepared me for this depth of loss and this terrible pain. My email is mgmeza367(at)yahoo(dot)com if anyone has any advice.
Love,

This letter is from someone in pain from loss and reaching out for reassurance that she's not alone. Perhaps if people respond - even with just a few words - she'll see that caring comes in all forms.
Would you mind if I reposted her note on other sites, too?
