Hello Starkiss, Thank you for your post. The opportunity to say farewell from a beloved one is a very precious one. I know I will be forever sad about not attending my brother's funeral. But one can let go and say goodbye in different ways and it can be done even many years later and also you can send prayers and blessings to the spirit of the deceased and ask for forgiveness for not saying goodbye. Best regards, Racheli

Dear Leeann, Shared pain is a lighter burden to carry, no?

Dear Leeann, Thank you for your words and sympathy. I think that my decision to get help and wait before starting my own family was one of the wisest decisions of my life. Grief is universal and, as I learned, all of us walk in similar ways through this painful experience. I hope this film will help all those out there that, like me many years ago, feel isolated, misunderstood or lost because they think they are the only ones experiencing such pain. Thank you, I will share your kind comments with my family. Best regards, Racheli

Hello, This is my first time here. I found this forum while searching for places in which people deal openly with issues regarding grief. I lost my brother 30 years ago, when I was 9 years old. This loss shadowed my life for many years. Ten yeard ago (after 20 years of bereavement) I produced with my sister a documentary about my family and long term grief. This production was a powerful healing process for us as a family and has helped many others since it was first shown to the public. Now we have uploaded it onto YouTube so many others can benefit from our sharing and experience. It is in Hebrew with English subtitles and is 43 minutes divided into 5 parts. Here are the links for the 5 chapters of the film "Pain Has No Tomorrow" part 1: part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 Please feel free to ask any question about this film. Best of wishes, Racheli
