DEAR DEIDRE: READING about a local woman killed in a car crash has brought back the horror of my brother’s death in an accident on the same stretch of road. I am a 51-year-old man and my brother died almost 30 years ago. He was 24.
The crash happened because the driver of the other car had a blackout and ploughed into him. He also died at the scene. Since I read about this young woman’s car accident, my brother’s death has been going round and round in my head constantly.
I was very close to him and it took me a long time to come to terms with what happened and try to continue with my life. Get in touch with Deidre Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays. Send an email to deardeidre@the-sun.

I have bottled it all up, as I thought that was the best way to cope. DEIDRE SAYS: I am sorry your brother died in such tragic circumstances. Reading about this woman has triggered painful memories but it is not too late to seek support.
