My 16 year old brother committed suicide. You would think after so many years I would be over it, but I have found that it is severely effecting me this year. I find that I am still angry because he left me. And I still feel guilty because I did things to make it possible for him to get away to do what he did.
I don't expect anyone to respond, I just wanted to acknowledge his death and remember him for a little while.

(((perpetuallysad))) I don't think the amount of years has anything to do with your pain. I am sorry for your loss.

Anniversary dates always stay with you. The grief one carries does not respect time, it only puts up with it.
Leave your guilt, it's an ugly companion. All that truly matters is your continued love for your brother.

(((((((((PS)))))))))
You are loved and cared about. Can you do something remarkable for yourself over these next few days? Something that a good friend might do for or with you? We often think grieving gets literally buried in the North American culture but over these days we sit in the 'house of grieving and remember' with you. Asking for the 'calmest' God Spirit to come rest and be with us who grieve along with you too.We sometimes still long for those gone before despite what they have done or had done to them but we want to do it in a way that would honour them and ourself/ves.

  ((((((perpetuallysad)))))) You would never have intentionally done anything leading to your brother's suicide. Please end your own guilt, as you mourn for him. Time does help, if you will forgive and free yourself.

((( HUGS ))) - please know that you are in our thoughts and that many of us understand how you are feeling as we too have been there... its been 13 years since my daughter passed away and this year I when out to the storage unit and brought back the album we made for her funeral - it contains pics her ten precious years of life - some times we just need to feel again and often cry to make room for more healing.
