It's that time of year again — my brother's death date is coming up in the next week. Since his passing nearly three years ago, I've suffered from what I call my "dark period" around this time. Christmas is the worst since it's the last time I saw my brother alive and the feeling of dread and grief builds up following the holiday until at last we reach the date: January 8th. I spend much of my time sleeping and avoiding others, except my parents, who are suffering just as much as I am. It's the only time of year that I feel genuinely depressed, quietly relieving my sadness, which has not diminished and likely never will. When the date has passed I slowly begin to feel better, forgetting that I was an unhappy mess for the entirety of the end of the year, until the date rolls around again. Grief carves a place in your heart, and it sits there forever.
