- Hi Amanda, my name is Crystal, I lost my brother to suicide on January 27,2012. In my family birth order we have an older sister, me, him & 2 brothers follow. During the time of funeral arraignments our older sister was of no help but added stress, being an alcoholic. I took on the responsibilities along with my youngest brother by my side. My mother placed the dreaded thoughts in my head that if I would have gone to see my brother he wouldn't have commited suicide, if "I" would have called him. The thing is we had talked recently & he was doing well. I couldn't go visit cuz financial I couldn't. While I was trying to take care of things for his funeral I was bombarded with questions, I felt so much pressure I almost had a nervous breakdown. I started to believe I could have saved him, that if I would have done more. truth is I did as much as I could when I finally confronted my mY mother on what thoughts she placed in my mind and how it was unfair of her to do that, she denied it . It has been difficult for me. No matter the kind comforting words that come my way from others. I breakdown crying at home. My brother took care of our mother financially way beyond what he should have. , he gave her everything and he had nothing. It angers me because she has someone in her life he is just a leach. Now my brother is gone & she is looking to us for financial support while the boyfriend is still in her home causing undue stress. Amanda I'm sorry you feel like giving up & I know you have pain but you have to live for your kids. Death brings unexpected change to our family responsibilities I hope & pray you find or get support from other family members do the best you can but you still need to find time for yourself. Your kids need you more than anyone

Dear Amanda, I hope you are hanging in there as well as you can.My heart aches for you and everyone else that is in despair and greif.It seems like it never lets up.I wake up thinking of my sister,and go to bed crying,thinking of her.Death is a very difficult thing to process,let alone suicide.As I had told you,my Sister shot herself,leaving her three children behind.I can't even imagine their heartbreak.I don't know about you,but I just can't seem to get my life back on track.I told you that when Holly died my Mother went crazy and had an emergency intervention on me.After I refused to go to this facility,she and this woman counselor told me to get out of the house my Mother bought for me.So,dealing with Holly's death was compounded with being homeless.I had 1 week and absolutely no money,and had to find somewhere for me and my 3 pets to go.Never in a thousand years could I have seen any of this coming.Sometimes I am so angry with God and this World.I don't know how a person can tell a complete stranger that they need to get out of their house.My Mother 2 weeks later,was living in the house herself.She threw me out so she could get out of the house she was in.There were apparently too many memories of Holly in her house.

Dear Amanda, I hope you are doing well today,as well as can be expected. I think right now, all I can ask for are brief repreives of thinking about something else other than my loss. I am certain that your Mother and late Husband are looking down on you with such Love and Pride.I commend you on your strength.I too,like you had mentioned am feeling that feeling of impending doom and giving up.That feeling as you know,does go away.Thinking of you and wishing you the best,Sean
