Might have mods delete this later, but the sbg forums has always been one of my only outlets so I thought i'd go ahead and make this little tribute for my own sake.
My brother has passed last evening. I wont get into specifics but it was something completely avoidable so my small family is completly distraught. My brother was mentally ill, so our relationship was always very rough, but he was one of the only ones who still took my interests seriously. Now hes gone, and im just deflated, hell one of the reasons i made my latest commision was to show off to him and probably even gift to him, but now its too late a d he will never see it or any of my future plans. Im trying to stay strong for the sake of my parents who are utterly devastated at the loss, buts it tough. His passing will bear a heavy scar on myself and my family for many years.
Anyway, i guess my only point to this, if any, is to value the relationships you have my friends, and to always attempt amends even if you think its too late to do so. Sorry my Brother, may you find peace, and through out all our bad times, i will always cherish those young summer nights of playing mario or zelda, and dreaming of greater things.

Rest in Peace. The pain you feel will lessen but the good memories with your brother will endure. I have a few friends who have/had mental illness (one took his own life due to it). A frustrating topic indeed.

Loss is a difficult thing to talk about, so I admire your courage and feel honored you felt comfortable sharing with us.
I'm certain your brother felt your connection strongly and any words you felt need be said, ultimately, did not need to be spoken. It sounds like you were true friends as well as brothers.
My best wishes to you and your family. Hold them close, and don't be afraid to let someone else hold you up from time to time.

My sincere condolences for your loss. I've never been good at offering words of comfort but I hope you'll accept a stranger raising a glass in his memory tonight all the same.

Thank you all for the support. I still dont know if im going to keep this up, but I have to admit making this post took some weight off my shoulders, even if only for a moment. Next week will the real challenge(the arrangements). Unfortunatly my commision wont be here in time otherwise i mightve used that, so Ill be using a retail mastersword to put with him. He would of loved it regardless.

I have a brother who's about 18 months younger than me. We grew up together, and honestly I don't know how I'd handle it if I lost him. I can only imagine how hard this must be for you, and I'm truly sorry you have to go through this. May you at least find some feeling of peace as you grapple with this loss.

Sorry for your loss to lose such a close family member is painful as painful can get. Its a wound that never truly heals, and I am sorry you have to go through it.

Deepest condolences. The description of your relationship with your brother has a number of similarities to the relationship I have with my own. I can't quite imagine him not being there. So sorry for your loss.

Of the uncounted number of attempts made throughout time to console a man after the loss of his brother, I doubt any of them really sounded anything other than hollow.
But I do pray you find solace, peace, and hope, despite it all.
