The actress expresses how much she misses him and promises to stay strong

17 Oct - Nadine Lustre recently broke her silence about the death of brother Isaiah with a new post on Instagram.

As reported on Rappler, on 13 October - a few days after his death was made known to the public, the actress posted a message to her late brother, saying, "I'm so proud of you. Never knew you had such talent with words. I'm happy to have read all of your entries and discover that you have such a beautiful mind."

She also posted a link from the younger Lustre's blog on Medium, and continued, "I want to thank you for teaching everyone a very important lesson. Thank you for opening my eyes and making me braver. I know now that whatever challenge I will have to face, I will be able to pull through because of you."

"I'm gonna miss your face and miss hearing your corny jokes. I wish you stayed with us longer. I am keeping my promise and we will still travel the world together. No more crying. Happy Birthday Dude."

On 8 October, the 16-year-old was found dead inside his family's home, with the police saying that it was a suspected suicide.

Prior to her latest post, Lustre shared another long post admitting that she also used to struggle with depression, but said that she was able to overcome it through not only her strong heart and clear mind, but also the love of family and friends.
