Hi, have the sads today, and thought I'd say hi. My brother died 22 weeks ago tomorrow, and for whatever reason it's just hitting hard today.

hello and welcome.
I'm so sorry to hear that you're having a tough day. Grief can be unpredictable and hit us hard when we least expect it... especially when it comes to significant losses like the death of a brother or someone very close to you. It's completely understandable that you're feeling this way. R
Please remember, it's okay to feel sad and to give yourself the time and space you need to process your emotions.

Hi, I am so so sorry for your loss. I know almost too well what the sads are like, so am sending big hugs your way. I know it's impossible to erase it completely but I hope the heaviness lessens and the days become a little easier. Deep breaths help as well as focusing on the happy little memories and moments they've left behind. Also as mentioned below, please take care and go easy on yourself - it's ok to cry, and let it all out, and to feel. There is no manual on how to grieve and or timeline on how long it will take before the sads ease up. It sometimes feels like it will never go away, but know that what you're doing is enough and that there will be better days ahead. Take care, friend x
Also not sure if this will help but I found James Wordens Tasks of Grief helpful. Just helped validate my feelings and were kinder than the traditional steps to grief.
