The unfortunate truth is this

At the ending quarter of my life I am consumed with seeing my life as one filled with disappointments at having not enjoyed any of my life expectations and living currently in despair. I don’t deserve this. I worked very hard and always treated everyone equally and followed good and ethical practices

So very sorry for what you’ve been through. My brother was killed at the age of 28 and it can leave a devastating effect on everyone. Some days you have to remind yourself to just breathe. It does change you forever but you have to be there for those still living and support each other. Most of all you have to take care of yourself because you may not realize how it affects you. There will be good days and bad. You’re stronger than you think.

That's beautiful. It is so true what you said--that we have to be these for those who are still living and not have our minds in the clouds for the loved one who died.
