    My brother was killed yesterday.

    Midair collision over western Alaska. His Super Cub and a Cessna Caravan. 4 or 5 fatalities. No survivors. I think that's all anyone knows at this point.
    Anchorage Daily News has the story if you want more detail.
    We all found out yesterday afternoon/evening.
    I feel like something has been ripped out of my chest.
    No longer stuck.

    That's freaking awful. So sorry for your loss. I've lost a best friend, but I can't imagine what losing my brother would be like.

    Saw that and wondered if it would affect anyone here.

    Godspeed to your brother and condolences to you and your family.

    Sorry for your loss. I lost my brother, who was less than year older than me, in a car accident while in high school. It's tough, but family helps.

    stuck, there are no words to ease your pain. Take some solace in the strong possibility that it was by surprise and expedient.

    Know that time will give you your breath back. He will come to you when he needs you and he will be there when you need him.

    Godspeed
