Last. Night, my husband and one of his brothers dropped in on another brother who has been depressed. They found him hanging and they are so nearly out of their minds. I've had (unfortunately) experience in this area. I know that I can never help anybody fill a hole in the soul. I also know that the brother was anything BUT selfish. He hurt so much. Still, please help me find a way to make my family feel more loved, less hurt, and free of guilt.

Sorry that this is so long. I simply believe in the wisdom of others.

I strongly suggest counseling for everyone involved... Its a traumatic event for everyone involved... and it can only help everyone cope with the unexpected loss.
