My brother killed himself about half a year ago. Now the grief has passed and I’m left with thoughts like: “It sure was cruel of him to ruin Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, his birthday, and his mother’s birthday for the entire family.”

This isn't something anyone should have to live through or deal with. It's beyond tragic. -
Mortality has one driving purpose for our species: To provide urgency. A reason to draw closer, push harder, and foster greater intimacy now while we have time.

That last line really illustrates how brutal this must've been for you all. Thank you for setting a strong example

If you don’t love yourself, at least love everyone who cares about you. That thought got me thru a rough time.

So sorry for your loss. It’s quite normal to have mixed emotions to something as complex as suicide. And brave of you to speak out publicly and encourage others to get help. Wishing you and your family well.

To add to these, you might find someone else suffering as you, closer than you think.

It's not that simple, though. You're not thinking rationally when in that state of mind. For me, it felt like my soul was being ripped out of me and I just wanted it to stop. Hell couldn't feel so bad. But, I just kept reminding myself that it would pass. Eventually it did.

I’m sorry man. My best friend shot himself in the head 6 years ago and it still hurts and feels terrible. Life goes on but there is still a big hole left. I can’t imagine if it was a brother. Must be super tough. My God give you his peace.

And you as well. Thank you.
