Black Moon - don't know if you're into reading but there is a book I like called "An Empty Chair" by Sara Swan Miller and its about sibling suicide. If it interests you, you might check it out - sometimes a local library might have it. Just a thought - hope it helps.

I have been told to have closure and let him go - but I don't want to. And with suicide you have a whole host of feelings - with my brother's death I felt abandoned, alone, angry, sad, devastated - and add to that my entire family structure changed and I was almost cut out of the family. Suicide is now a big issue in my family too and wasn't so much before.

So trust me - I know. I am very sorry and hugs to you!
