Can you please give me advice?

My brother was killed when we came under fire on a patrol in Afghanistan. He died as he was covering me on the withdraw now I feel so guilty that he died because of me.
Do you think I'll get my turn and I'll get to see him again soon?

I think a lot of the answerers are failing to understand just what exactly you're asking. It's not for us to wish to die. Even me. I think I have some things to teach you about heaven and earth. Don't blame yourself for what happened to your brother, if it helps, were the tables turned, you probably would have done the same thing, and he'd be feeling like you right now.

Sorry to hear about your brother.
I dont think your brother would want you to feel guilty for his death. You should live your life to its fullest, enjoy it!
I'm sure that in the future, you will meet up with all of your family in the 'after life', or which ever term your Faith uses.
When your time comes, it will come, but don't look at your brother's death as a way of shortening your life.
Be strong.

in my opinion, it wasnt your fault at all.
but in honor of your brother, you need to live the rest of HIS life along with your life... you gotta do great things like he would have and what you are going to do to.
you got double honor to make, so you have to have fun the rest of your life.
thats what i think:)

If you think in such a way you are not following what he wanted. He covered you and knew the risk. Now you need to think why. Why did he cover you. The answer is simple(love). When he put himself out there the only thing that he showed that he wanted was to make sure that you survived. If you were to go now you would be giving up what he sacrificed himself for (your life). Keep strong and always honor what he did. It was brave and not many would do the same.

i am so sorry that you lost your brother, war does not discriminate, your goal in life is to remember the relationship that you had, who he was, and what he meant to you should be your focus. Keep your mind about you if you are still deployed because is no cake walk. there are people that are depending on YOUR RETURN don't disappointment be safe and GOD BLESS YOU, we love you and appreciate what you are doing for our freedom.

Everything happens for a reason dude. I'm sure your brother wants you to live a great life and will have no problem waiting but yes I do think you'll get to see him again. Have faith in God.

Wow, u must have really been loved by him, cuz I dont see my brother or sister doing that for me. I do believe u will c him again one day. God promises us we will b reunited one day with our loved ones. Just know until the lord comes back for his people, his spirit is here with u. When God comes back the dead in christ shall rise first and their spirits will reunite with there bodies (that will be judgment day) right now his spirit is in a place of peace, and Im sure he is watchin over you. I wouldnt dare say "I know how u feel" b/c honestly, I couldnt imagene. I would be blessed to know someone cared enough for me to lay their life down for me (as christ did for us) Just remember time heals everything, just live ur life as u know he would want u to in his honor, and God Bless You and ur family. Oh, and thank you to u and your brother for fighting for me and our familys!

I was in the army durning the Vet Nam War. I'm one of those old WAC.
Lots of guys came back feeling guilty over their best friend getting killed or a family member. I worked in the hospital. War is terrible and great people get killed before there time. Your brother was killed saving your life. The way I see it you have nothing to feel guilty about. You both were doing a very hard dangerous job for your country. Now if you go out there and try and get yourself killed then you are throwing away what your brother gave you (your life). If you do that then you not only waste your life you have wasted your brothers. I guess that sounds hard but sometimes what we have to live thru in life is so hard to bare we feel like we can't go on. Find someone to talk to about this to help you sort thru your feelings don't keep it inside bottle up. Live your life that your brother gave you and know that he is your hero!

Your brother died protecting you which is just something amazing in itself! You probably will end up seeing him again just keep your faith in god strong. He died for you and now it is up to you to continue his life and yours. You are what he has left behind... you are his legacy

You were both very brave to be fighting in the first place.Your Brother loved you and wanted to protect you so you should not feel guilty.
Try to be gentle on yourself,anything can happen in war.You will meet your Brother again one day when the time is right.

Don't feel guilty just be proud of your brother. Just do what you can to help your buddies stay alive.

I'm sure your brother would want you to go ahead and live a normal life.

Im trying to answer this question the best i can as an atheist - you were both in the military and were in a highly dangerous situation. In a way, if you were under fire on the withdraw you yourself are lucky to be alive.

I would cherish that, and continue to remember your brother the best you can. Include his memory in things you do and try and use it to encourage you to continue with strength and perserverence.

Sorry to hear for your loss.
