I just lost my brother to suicide 5 weeks ago Tom, it’s been the most horrific 5 weeks for us as a family as we didn’t know he was struggling mentally, and I also found my brother which has added to my heartache, I am really struggling to come to terms with what I witnessed as well as losing him , I feel guilty that none of us noticed he was in a dark place but trauma.has took over my whole life I am still stuck there on that day when I found him
