I am a surviving brother of an identical twin who committed suicide in September of 2013. I not only lost my brother but I had to be the one to find his body 8 days after he had left this world! I am seeking help in anyway I can as I am truly haunted by the images left ingrained in my head/heart. Not a day goes by that I don't have a hard time dealing with this and the sleepless nights are becoming difficult. I am not one to ask for help so this isn't easy but I simply cannot do it alone! I NEED HELP!

It's good that you are reaching out for help. Finding a therapist you can sit with and talk these challenges out with that understands the kind of grief and trauma you are trying to work through is important. You may also benefit from doing a search to see if you can find a support group of individuals that are also dealing with a tragic loss like this.
I am so sorry you have had this experience, it's understandable that you are still struggling. We cannot remove traumatic life experiences, we have to grieve them and learn how to live out our lives in spite of these major traumas and it's a big challenge.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry for the trauma of finding your brother's body. And, I am sorry that you are haunted, although it is understandable. I hope that you find some support here and a measure of peace.

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry for the loss of your brother and what you are experiencing. Are you able to seek therapy to help you deal with this ?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
