My Brother Gregg

Losing My Brother Gregg: A Bond That Time Can’t Break

Losing someone you love is never easy. But when that person is your brother—a constant presence, a lifelong friend, a piece of your childhood and your heart—the loss hits in a way that words can barely reach.

My brother Gregg wasn’t just my sibling; he was my anchor, my confidant, sometimes my greatest challenge, and often my greatest supporter. We shared a life full of memories—some loud with laughter, others quiet with understanding. And now, in his absence, I find myself holding those memories tighter than ever.

Remembering Gregg

Gregg had a way of lighting up a room, whether it was with his humor, his heart, or just his unique presence. He was the kind of person who left an impression—on family, on friends, and even on strangers. Maybe it was the way he listened when you spoke, like your words mattered. Maybe it was his resilience, or the way he never pretended to be anything other than exactly who he was.

He had flaws, like all of us do. But he also had this undeniable strength. He was real, and he was deeply loved.

The Pain of Grief

There’s no easy way to describe the pain of losing him. Some days it feels like a wave crashing over me—unexpected and overwhelming. Other days, it’s a quiet ache that sits in my chest. Grief doesn’t follow rules, and it certainly doesn’t follow a timeline.

I miss his voice. I miss the way he said my name. I miss the arguments that didn’t matter, and the conversations that did. I miss knowing he was out there in the world, living his life, even if we weren’t always in constant contact.

Holding On

Even though Gregg is no longer physically here, he lives on in the stories we tell, the photos we keep, the habits we picked up from him, and the love we still carry. I see him in the little things—in a favorite song, a place we used to go, or a joke only he would understand.

Grief is the price of love. And I loved Gregg with everything in me. That love doesn’t end just because he's gone. If anything, it grows—transformed now into memory, legacy, and quiet moments of connection I still feel when I talk to him in my heart.

Moving Forward, Not On

People talk about "moving on" after loss, but that phrase never sat right with me. You don’t move on from someone you loved deeply—you move forward with them in your heart.

Gregg will always be part of me. His life mattered. His memory matters. And though he’s gone, the bond we shared remains unbreakable.

This is for you, Gregg. I miss you more than words can say. I’ll carry your memory with me always.
