9 thoughts on “My brother killed himself today

  1. So so sorry! ?? lost my brother to suicide 22 months ago. You survive somehow. Minute by minute, hour by hour then day by day, week by week, month by month year by year …. and so on. You never forget and ache for them. A piece of you is lost forever. Please get support for strength. Much love!!

  2. I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my sister 9 months ago.
    It will get more manageable. I don’t know what will help you but I would suggest you sleep and eat when you can and try to spend time with kind and familiar people.

  3. So sorry. I lost my sis a year ago and I know it hurts. I miss her still and think about her death a lot, but it does get easier. You have your life ahead of you—you are going to be hit hard by grief but it need not consume you.

  4. When I read your post it took me back to the moment when I found out my brother killed himself. I remember feeling numb, shocked, hurt, gutted, dead inside. It’s been over two years since that day. It’s hard to imagine it’s been that long. My brother has been with me every day since then mostly through memories that i hadn’t thought of in years. Those memories turned my hurt into some kind of weird happiness. You will get through these tough days. You’re strong and he is with you in his own special way. The bond you had with him was unique to only you. Hold on to that. I’m praying for you and cheering you on.

  5. Just got home from the hospital. My little brother had enough tonight and said good bye. I was too late to save him. My heart is broken beyond repair.

  6. My younger brother hung himself on the 2 year anniversary of his best friend that also hung himself him and some friends were celebrating the life of the friend in a building and were drinking a guy took someone home my brother was alone the friend came back and found the building light was off he went in using his phone and found my brother only 39 hanging he had always said if he ever did this it would be out in the woods where no one could find him I keep having the same dream it’s dark I am in the woods scared looking for something or someone and ropes are hanging from the trees he didn’t use rope he used a air hose will the pain ever go away? Will I ever be able to wrap my head around it he was happy and he knew the pain his best friend had caused him and family why would he do the same and hurt us like this I guess you never really know how a person is really feeling or what they are thinking I have so many unanswered questions I can’t stop thinking about it I can’t stop the same dream every single night and in my gut I feel that something is just not right about this is that just me wishful thinking and hoping he didn’t really do it?
