Hi, I lost my mother to pancreatic cancer in July of 2014. I was her caregiver. It wouldn't wish what she went through on my worst enemy. I lost my father 4 months later. He was a heart transplant receipt of 16 years but the meds did a number on his kidneys. He was on dialysis for three years before he passed. 9 months later I lost my mother in law to pancreatic cancer. I was her caregiver as well. 3 months later I lost my brother to a tragic accident. I am a basket case. I cry all the time. He is on my mind 24/7. THe only way I can sleep is with assistance from sleeping meds. My brother was only 15 months older than me. We were like twins we were so close. If someone asks me how I am doing, I completely lose it.
Can anyone help?

I am so sorry for your many losses of family members, and in such an incredibly short space of time, and two for whom you were also a caregiver, and then also to lose your brother, that you were so close to, to a tragic accident. How could anyone NOT be a "basket case", or cry all the time, or lose it when people ask how you're doing. My heart goes out to you and I hope that you see that no one could be expected to cope easily with so much horrific loss. I hope that remembering, sometimes how much you helped your mother and your mother-in-law as a caregiver, and remembering some of the good times you shared with your brother, can help to bring you moments of comfort now and then. You sound like a daughter, sister, and daughter-in-law that all of the family members you've lost were very fortunate to have had in their lives. Wishing you well, one day at a time,
Mary
