Dearest Eithne,
How sorry I am to hear of the loss of your beloved brother. I, too, know the enormous pain of losing a sibling. Because the strongest DNA is between siblings, it is a particularly staggering loss.
I did not know Desmond, but I have known and always loved you with a special adoration, and I understand at least some of what you are feeling. How fortunate you were to have each other for the time that you did. Nothing can ever erase the love you shared or the memories of better times you had together.
I believe Desmond has gone to a kinder, gentler place, but for you, his dear family, only experiencing the grief and allowing the passage of time will soften this blow. But you know all that. Once time has passed, may you find comfort in the knowledge that, at least for a while, you and Desmond had that treasured relationship that only siblings know.
Please know that I am with you in spirit and am here if the spirit moves you to reach out. My heart aches for your family, my tears are your tears, Dear One.
Love Always and Forever,
Sarah
