5. I have been there once...
please let him know that no matter how dark the walls of life appear to be, there always is light at the end of the tunnel. I truly mean that.

12. I am so sorry, I have been there twice with my own brother
the first time was with pills, the second time we have no clue what he did (medical records were sealed)...but he ended up being committed against his will to a psychiatric hospital and that was the first time he got any good help and today is doing much better.

I can't say I know what you are going through because every situation is different but it is hard and you have to take one day at a time. I know I ran the gamut from upset that he did it, to mad that he was putting my mother through that agony...and then it got better.

:hug:

13. Peace to both of you.
It seems that times are very tough right now. I'm sorry for the passing of your sister, but thankful for your brother's failed attempt. I hope that makes sense.

Good vibes coming your way...

The death of a close family member is rarely easy to get over, Redking. :hug::hug::hug:
I keep you, your brother, and all your family in my thoughts and prayers. I hope he recovers and seeks help for his depression.
