My little brother committed suicide today.

Hope he has faith. Pray for him, and suggest he try prayer. I had major depressive disorder for 20 years. A deep deep pain, that no one could understand. Used to think of suicide all the time. Medications and talking didn't help either. It was God that healed me. It didn't happen right away either, it took years of suffering before the prayers where answered.

I'm so sorry. I know the feeling of being left and wondering why. Hugs to you. Don't let all of it pull you under- I'm sure he loved you.

why is the answer to these always its not your fault, you did nothing wrong. maybe they werent there for them. maybe they made no effort their way. we don't know. op did not tell us the full story. but answer is always the ones left behind were little angels and a mysterious evil 'mental illness' killed them.

I’m so sorry...

he may try and send you a message soon, or in the coming days. be open, and willing to receive it. open minded. that feeling of grief. it is your spirits connected. it is your spirits in contact. use it when it comes to reach out

I feel your pain OP.

It'll get better some days and worse others but one day it gets better then stays better.

You aren't alone

Very sad, but don't be too sad. We do not die, and you will meet again someday.

My sister-in-law hung herself in her closet.
The coroner told me it took her at least five minutes to strangle to death.
A gun would have been far more merciful.

Sorry for your loss.
Maybe it was murder made to look like suicide? I always suspect that first.

the soul doesn't wait around decades, it moves onto other things. but you can contact them now while they are being 'processed', often they contact you.

I am sorry for the loss of your sis-in-law, it is sad any way it occurs. Guns may be merciful, they are also prolific and effective at what they are designed to do...kill!

You probably help contribute to it by bullying when younger. Thanks a lot

Prayers Op.
I am so sorry. .....
May Christ give you and your family peace. There are no easy answers to this. I only pray you don’t bring blame this on yourself. Your brother obviously struggled with some heavy emotions. This can overwhelm a person. They can also hide it very well.
Please take care of yourself.

So sorry for your loss <3

Don't lose hope. God willing, you will heal in time. If you have faith, keep the faith and stay strong. Sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry, OP. You are numb now but it will wear off and then the pain will be felt. Right now you are in shock, a self-defense mechanism. Let yourself feel the grief, go through it, and it will lessen in time. Don't blame yourself or take on any guilt. People who commit suicide are in tremendous emotional/mental pain and don't usually want to die but they can't see how to stop it. I believe God is understanding and merciful. Heaping condemnation on those poor people is unwarranted. No one in their right mind kills themself, the pain of depression or other mental illness does it. Maybe a support group for family members of suicides would help, or a book on grief after suicide. No one taught us how to deal with such a tragedy so we often need help to get through it. It will be a process. So sorry this happened, praying for you, your parents, and your brother.

Fuck off you cold heartless piece of shit... Stupid snowman

Shut up. OP is reaching out, nothing wrong with that, and better to do that than keep it in. You are an ogre with no insight or understanding. Ignore this insulting asshole, OP.

You are a horrible person.

Shit man thats tragic. Stay strong op, other than my condolences I suggest you just remember the good memories you all had and if you have to mourn let it all out, dont keep it bottled in.

Ahh God.Nothing you can do.And nothing anyone can say to make you feel better I dont think.My eyes teared up though for you.

What fucking devastation

Only thing I can offer from my personal opinion,Is that you will be united with your brother again sometime.
I am sad for you OP.

Damn

Sorry for your loss

Please don’t blame yourself. Quite often we don’t see the signs and there may not even be any.

I’m really sorry this happened. Be strong and don’t let your life get out of control because of this. Be strong.

I lost my brother when he was 23. I know the kind of stress it puts on you and other family members. Everyone is grieving so no one can offer any support because you’re all grieving.

One day at a time. And be strong.

Ill pray for your family.

Sorry for your loss, OP.

Don't blame yourself.

It's hard not to - but try.

Hugs. So sorry -

Op come back and talk if you want. A lot of us will listen. Ignore the assholes who want attention. Many of us do care and have been through similar situations.

Sending prayers your way. You’re not alone.

Its not your fault.

Life is hard.

Cherish the good memories.
