I saw you respond to a post on Bereavement. When I joined, this was what I was looking for.
We lost my brother Joe to suicide in April 2006, and what we discovered from that has broken our hearts, especially my Mother. He was loved and adored and he must have known that to some degree, but it wasn't enough to keep him here. The pain of that fact is what I relive when I grieve for him. Never in a million years would I have thought it would be him. Now I live in a world of "before" and "after." I miss him. I don't understand why. I'm afraid my Mom will never find comfort. I'm angry and then angry at myself. And that's hard for others to understand.
I have found that talking to people who know this type of grief helps. I've lost friends and family before and since to things other than suicide, and my brother is still the worst.

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...
