My brother died before Labor Day of a sudden heart attack a the age of 51.

I have also experienced guilt and anger about spending time with my sister in law - feeling like my brother should be there. I kinda went through the same thing when my mom passed and I spent time with my dad. It just didn't seem the same. It was hard at first.
