Although each of us experiences the death of a loved one in a unique way, there is one thing that unites all of our grieving experiences: grief is never simple.
It takes time to process and deal with the loss of a loved one or close friend; occasionally, we simply never regain the identity we had before their departure.
Consider Rod Stewart, the renowned singer, who recently announced the passing of his brother Bob, just a few months after the dying of another brother Don.
Rod Stewart shared the sad news on Instagram on November 30 of last year and noted that Bob had passed away the previous evening.
The Young Turks singer continued by expressing his wish that Bob and Don, who died just months apart, were enjoying a game of football together in the hereafter.
In a devastating statement, the iconic British rock and pop artist said that the two deaths had left him without his two closest friends.
“It’s with great sadness that I announce the loss of my brother Bob last night, who joins my brother Don on the great football pitch in the sky.”
“I’ve lost two of my best mates in the space of two months. RIP Don and Bob ‘irreplaceable buddies’ Sir Rod Stewart.”
