I'm really worried about my husband. His little brother committed suicide 4 weeks ago. He is not dealing well AT ALL. He is devestated. He blames himself and is fixated on this. I don't know how to help him. Can anyone help me?

I'd recommend that he start grief therapy right away with a therapist who specializes in it. I know we men want to tough it out and all, but given the circumstances it's not a good idea to refuse to get help.

Take him out of the house with you. Even if it's just to the cleaners, anything. Yes, he should get grief therapy. He also needs not to dwell, get him out so that he doesn't isolate and ruminate.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
