My little brother Jacob took his own life on 9/6/2024. He took a piece of my heart with him to heaven.I have yet to properly grieve- Our Dad passed on 9/28/2023- I have been in a 2.5 yr custody battle with my ex. Any feedback on what helps with this process…Somedays I wanna just Throat punch people other days I don’t wanna leave the house.
I found something which helps me is time. Also, positive memories of my lost sibling. What doesn’t help is blaming myself. I had nothing to do with my brother taking his life. I couldn’t have stopped him if I tried for 1,000 years. Only he could stop what happened. It’s taken me over a year to realize this. Now, I am really recovering from my brothers death. Btw, I am almost 63 years old. My little brother was approaching 60 years old. It’s not only teenagers or young adults that take their own lives.
Hi James, yes you are right. I lost my only sister to suicide 10/31/2024. She was 64. I am 61. I lost my brother and Mom in 2022. I am one hot mess of grief. It’s all so sad and confusing and honestly all I feel now is sadness and fear.
