Any one here ever had to cope with a brother/sister committing

No, just a cousin killing himself.
I talked about it with a co-worker who had experienced the same thing. He never even went to the funeral.

Never mind, it's not the same as losing your brother or sister.

I would like to know what it's like to have siblings though. Can you talk to them? Are they like friends, or are they just people you have to deal with?

I was never really close with him, or even am with my older brother sadly. He's was my youngest brother. It's hard for me to not guilt myself for not even being there for him. He was so young (20) with 2 kids and a separated baby mama.

I realize that after you asking that question...having siblings is a great thing. Sure you can grow up not liking each other or if your lucky you can have a best friend that just comes with your being born. Or in my case you can not really know what's going on with their lives and be a shit sibling. With all that said, it's something that's better to have had than to never have had all.
I think I'm still in shock.

Yeah. Same thing: Shot himself in the head. Bullet passed through, he was in a coma for a month or so (pellet-gun or what you call it) until we decided to switch off the machines.

I kinda just... dealt with it. Nothing I could do. Do I miss him? Sure, but that's about it. There's nothing I could do to bring him back. There's nothing I can do to turn back time. No matter what I do, he's gone. It's sad, but I had to realize that being stoic about it is the only thing I actually can do.

I was down after he was pronounced dead. Suffered for a month or two. Lost my job. Got left behind with my studies. Drank everyday. Chainsmoked. I had a test that was pretty much a turning point between failing and passing that year. Asked myself: What would change if I were to continue living like shit, feeling like shit, and being shit? Nothing, he'd still be gone. So I just went on with my life.


I still think about him and I miss him a lot, but it doesn't cripple me anymore.

>20
>2 kids

Dude, he had problems even before.
You didn't find it odd that he went around knocking up chicks at that age?

I wouldn't call getting your high school sweetheart pregnant 'going around knocking chick's up' but I guess.

With all these teen pregnancys the past decade you'd think there was a suicide epidemic.

How long ago was his death.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I lost my brother like that. He shoot himself in front of his wife. It was the most painful experience of our lives.

Don't blame yourself. There's nothing you could have done or said to save him. There's no amount of help that can save someone who doesn't want to be helped.
Don't blame him. He didn't want to hurt you or anybody.

Seek help, even professional help. Talk to your family and your friends. Talk to his kids and their mother, keep his memory alive. Spend time together and talk about him.
And, most of all, keep going. You're not alone.

Just grieve for you brother's death. Don't try to rationalize his motive; suicide just isn't a product of reason.

Sounds like he wasn't ready for a family yet. Don't know why he has 2 kids at the age of 20. Nuts. I'm 23.

>Sounds like he wasn't ready for a family yet.
That's incredibly obvious.

Also very obvious. You didn't know him so why would you know why he has 2 kids?
>Nuts. I'm 23.
No one asked.
