Give yourself time, Irish. I know it will take a long time. I cried every day for a year, when I lost my brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you, now.
You should keep it, as long as you need to. There will be a day when time has passed and you'll know you don't need a phone to speak with your brother.
My cousin and best friend (from my dad's side of the Fam.) passed away in March and I still haven't deleted his number from my phone... every time i try i just can't let go. Hope all is as well as can be expected Kev! My prayers are still with you.
Hey IG... I still have my step-dad and my dad's phone numbers in my cell phone...I just can't bring myself to get rid of them either..... I know I can't ever call them again but I think if I take them out of my phone..then they will really be gone...ya know???
I'm sorry about your brother. There will be all kinds of reminders of him. I believe that's the way grief goes. I just had to move through it, experience it, and eventually the pain fades.
