Give me a reason?

Formatted Soul
By Formatted Soul

I feel like going back to my country. Give me a reason to stay.

I am not able to get over the sudden loss of my brother. I miss him terribly, I miss his calls, miss meeting him on weekends, I miss his kids, my heart is so heavy, I feel depressed, I cant concentrate on my work/anything. I don’t see any meaning in this unpredictable life.

and a hard time for you but with the help of your husband and child who need you, you will keep going.

Grief is not the same for everyone but one thing that is, is that we all need time to grieve,

here or home the process will be the same, and if you go home you will miss your family here.

I wish you strength and luck in whatever you decide

For your kind words, I was feeling very low yesterday. I know its part of life...but really really hard to over come the grief.

Swissgirl I wish he was in a place where I could reach him through calls or mails, he is no more in this world.

Britexpat I don’t know why I want to go back. But I think I miss him more here than in my own country.

Deep that’s what holding me back. My hubby, my son…. cannot leave them here and go back...also I don’t want to leave my mom back home.

I know life has to move on but…..

Follow what your heart tells you. A job is just a job, you can always get a job.. but in order for you to feel better, do what you must.

Qatar isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Sorry to hear of your loss. May he rest in peace.

Losing someone close is always difficult, but life goes on and hopefully time will heal some of the wounds.

Look back on the happy memories and thank the Lord for the times you shared.

What would you do back home? Do you have family and also how would you support yourself? If you have work there, then go. Otherwise perhaps take an extended leave.

Hope everything works out for you.

No one can convince you to stay. But I will say you need to go home, you need to be close to your family as they are the only ones that can help you through this and you are the only one that can help them.

It really is hard to miss someone. I know exactly how that feels. but the way to approach it is, " its true that i miss my brother, but i really need to get on with what am doing" Find alternatives to stuff that you spend doing during leisure. keep yourself really busy!!

Friend this is a bitter part of life, everyone has to go one day.. Though I cant’ share your feelings but I may comprehend it.

If you need convincing, than it's probably not worth for you to stay... Unless you can't get a job back home and you really need the money.
