[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My superstar sibling was murdered as a teenager. I'm the normal average one and even though he's been dead for 20 years it still stings that the golden child died and I lived. I know they wish it was the opposite [/quote]

PP, I'm sorry for your loss.  My mom's sibling died young, from a freak medical thing, and I think she always sort of felt the same way.  At the end of the day, though, it was my mom that took care of her parents until the day they died, and they really did love her a lot.  I'm sure your parents don't wish that "it was the opposite."  I'm sure they wish that this horrible thing had never happened to your family at all.  One comment that I've heard my aunt's friends say is something along the lines of "It was almost as if she knew she didn't have long ... she lived every day to its fullest."  Maybe it would help you to think that, because your brother did not have long on earth, he had to pack a whole lifetime of achievement into less than 20 years.  You've got a whole lifetime to achieve things at a more leisurely rate.[/quote]
