<p>Not an expert here in writing essays but do know what it's like to lose someone (several people) I cared deeply about. First of all, you must have chosen this topic because it is close to your heart and that is a good thing. </p>
<p>Share those feelings honestly.....talk about your brother in a way that the person reading your essay will feel like they knew him. Describe the relationship the two of you had and how his death has impacted you and the rest of your family. I'm sure you realize that your life from here on out will never be the same, and you could share your thoughts on that and what you think your brother would want for you and for your future. When people die they aren't gone forever, just separated from us for awhile and if you also believe that, that can help you through the healing process. Express your thoughts and feelings if you also feel that way. What lessons did your brother teach you while he was alive.....what memories do you hold closest to your heart? I lost my sister-in-law to breast cancer 11 years ago when she was only 46. I can still remember the sound of her voice, her flair for wearing hats, the sound of her laughter, and how her eyes lit up whenever we went to visit her even at the end when she was so ill. She wanted more than anything to see her daughter graduate from high school and to hold her first grandchild. She did not live long enough to do either one but we were there for her daughter at her graduation one year later and we have since held every one of her grandchildren and rocked them to sleep for her. We tell each grandchild about her to keep her memory alive....how will you keep the memory of your dear brother alive? Good Luck with your essay....</p>
