What would your sibling's reactions be if you died?

[HEyHEY]

For me, I don't know, I know they'd be sad. But I'm not sure how they'd remember me. Probably as the strange brother.

1. Sister: She'd be majorly pissed

Since she lost her son last year, she is determined we are all gonna be healthy and she will never have to mourn again. I fear she is in for some serious dissappointment. Heart disease rampent in my family and none of us are spring chickens.

My brothers would be stoic and somewhat philisophical, but they would lament no more chocolate pies from me.

2. Devastated

I look like our Mom...and they have unresolved issues still.

Mom died in 92...and guilt's a funny thing. They even give me gifts based on what our Mother liked...simply because I look like and remind them of her.

It's not a case of keeping our mothers memory alive either...I can't really explain it but sometimes it seems they are seeking their absolution through me..since she is dead.

My eldest sister always blamed our mother for our parents divorce. (feels guilty for her behavior over this belief)
My only brother feels our mother didn't trust him. (feels guilty he was on his way to his mistress' house the day our mom died)
My middle sister still feels guilty of ever being angry with our mother. (a case of not being nice to a person and then they die)

My mom and I were best friends. We fought, we made up...we moved on. I don't think my siblings ever got around to clearing the air, so to speak...they wanted to...but then it was too late.

3. I have 3 surviving siblings

My sister Kay, 45, would be very interested in what she might inheirit. My sister, Melinda, would be VERY interested in her prospects. My baby brother, Jamey, (he and his wife LOVE my partner and me) would break the news to those greedy bitches that they get nothing.

Everything is set, in advance, so that my estate will be transferred to my partner with no possible legitimate challenge.

4. im kinda distant from my sister...

not on bad terms, thats just the way im am with everyone, distant, that is. anyway, im sure she would be sad, but we just keep to ourselves even within the family.

my brother isnt old enough to understand death (hes 5), but i think he would end up missing me, considering he follows me around like my shadow. he would miss me just not knowing that id never return, which is real sad if you think about it. also he wouldnt have much memory of me, considering his age if i were to die relatively soon, but im not planning on that.

5. Varying

My youngest brother would take it very hard and be pretty emotional about it. My middle brother would also take it hard but not show it. His wife and children would take it hard as well.

My sister, I'm not sure. We were close but she barely communicates with the sibs anymore. I think that after my mother's death she decided her only family is her own family, which is fairly large and includes grandkids as well as kids.

My oldest brother doesn't care what happens to any of the rest of us, and the feeling is mutual, doubled, in spades.

6. I almost did once,

and for a much of oversized, macho dudes they were pretty seriously torn up about it. Buncha big softies. :loveya:
