The loss, pain, horror and guilt has been unbearable. I understand your pain more than you can imagine. I am talking with a grief counselor as well as when I have the strength I am going to attend a support group through Catholic Charities. I think this too will help me. I have found that talking with a grief counselor allows me to express feelings that I cannot share with anyone. Even though I have a long road ahead of me I hope that you have or will consider some kind of support such as I have. The loss of a loved one from suicide is overwhelming and I cannot expect to try to move on easily. Since the pain is so bad I am wise to seek help. I hope you might consider doing this also. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope this helps. You are not alone. KL [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Date Posted: 14:30:02 10/25/05 Tue Hi Karen, I am truely sorry for the loss of your brother. It's a terrible thing. Some people have told me that perhaps there's solice in knowing that my brother isn't hurting any longer. I do, at least, find some comfort with that notion. There was lots more life for us all to share, but it sure was not worth it, for our brothers, if they had to suffer through it. Take care of yourself. And thank you for your note.
