David & I at our cousin's wedding in 2017

On May 31, 2019, my brother David passed away at the age of 28 due to surgical complication. Because we were only 3 years apart in age, David and I grew up together, and he is in all of my childhood memories. We became even closer as young adults as we were both growing in our faith, and our friend group began overlapping more, so we got to do fun things together for birthdays and holiday parties with friends. I am still in shock and heartbroken that we have to live without him.

Here are the posts that I have written about grieving for my brother. I hope they help others who are also grieving their loved ones.
