I'm glad you posted this up. Still grieving over the loss of my brother, I never knew how much he was suffering. So I know I need to do my own healing this year and trying not to blame myself for not helping him. But I never knew how much he was suffering... so please watch this video.

This thread has become something all different than I had thought it would. So many come here to express their grief at the loss of a loved one. Suicide leaves those left behind in a spin of loss, pain, confusion and guilt.

Your brother didn't want you to know. Understand that. He kept it from you because he didn't want you to to feel his pain. And he wanted to go through his last days/hours alone. That was his choice.

This video, when I watched it, took me all the way back when I was contemplating suicide back in 1980. Her 5 minute rule was my rule. I could not think beyond 5 minutes. And the next 5 minutes lead to the next 5 minutes. And here I am and I am glad I made it through.
