Late last week I lost my youngest brother to a severe heart attack. Because he lived 7,000 miles away in Africa, I won't even be able to attend the funeral. He was only 70 years old. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

There are never good words to say at a time like this ... but it's only made worse by not being able to attend the funeral. Our sincere condolences to you and yours, and to his family

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

sorry dude, I have been there. Lost both my brothers. Being away does not make things easier.
Small piece of advice. Take time, at least a few hours(perhaps more), to go alone somewhere or with someone you care for(wife etc..) and just sit down and remember him. Do the remembrance of him. Give yourself that time. It will help.

Sorry for your loss.
I have two elder bothers whom I am estranged from but I would still be upset if they died.

It that sad and unfathomable part of the human experience. This passing always leaves me at a loss for words - word that don't really exist.

Your "youngest", and "only 70"? 
Go to your family at a later time. Hardly matters when you go, but you should go.
All the best to you, I will light a candle in his name tonight.

Let me add my condolences. My older brother (88 years old) passed last year. Today, he was buried, with full military honors at Arlington Cemetery. Since many could not make the trip, my nephew hired a video team and they streamed the whole ceremony live. Not like being there, but well done.
It is never easy losing a relative or close friend. I try to remember the fun times.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
