I have wanted to let you all know, that I have missed you greatly. The reason that I have been away has been the passing of my brother; Scott.

I miss him dearly. And i loved him more so. I talk to him constantly and tell him so. My brother passed away at his own hands/doing. It is a very hard situation to deal with. I miss him daily and think about him even more.

I will say to you what I said to TW.com. Please be aware of anyone who talks about suicide and taking their life. Dont let it go unnoticed and unheard. Pay attention to what people are saying to you in any circumstance. I wish I could have prevented this from happening as I miss my brother with all my heart. He was a wonderful person to be around.

I would really appreciate all of you knowing that there is life after "d". There is a light at the end of the Rainbow. My brother; as strange as it may seem to all of you; is with me daily almost. Moving things, Showing me things. He has seemed to have moved in at my parents house and made it noticeable that he is there at times.

I love that from him. I wouldnt change that for anything in the world right now. I miss my brother dearly and anything that he does right now is acceptable to me. I'm not crazy. He's around. Many people have noticed the small and little things that he has done since his death. I love that he is still here in some sense and making sure that we are all alright. He has comforted us by doing what he's done lately.

I'd like everyone to take a step back; and realize that if someone says something or shows any kind of depressent attitude.. Please do all you can to help that person; no matter what the cost at the time. You'll thank yourself for it later. I only wish I would have done this for my brother. He knew that I loved him dearly; but it didnt make a difference to him at that one moment when he took his life.

Please pray for anyone who is in this situation
Anyone that has been thru his thinking. Please, just help people who need a lift at any given moment in your life, not just theirs.

Love you all,
Cheryl E. Brogan

Cheryl,

My sincere condolences for the loss of your brother, Scott. I know that post must have been hard to do. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through. I have experienced many losses in my life, but I can't fathom the idea of losing my brother.

I agree with what you wrote 100%. I also believe in life after death and I have experienced similar things to support my feelings.

I don't know you, but beginning tonight you will be in my thoughts and prayers.


Amber

strange, i actually wrote a paper tonight. on life after death and the meaning of death for my philosophy class

anyway, keep your chin up. my condolances. i've lost some close friends in the past. but no one i've had as close of an attatchment to as a sibling.

I have also lost friends the same way.. all i can say is just listen to music that makes you feel better, and pray.. time will heal

WOW! This has really been a rough week...I've read of 3 losses, and every1 else seems to be having their own personal problems...It's crazy...I'm so sorry to hear about your bro. I dont even know you, and I feel sad 4 ya? And it's crazy how I'm listening to Avril Lavigne - I'm With You [Leama & Moor Remix], @ the same time as Im reading this, and it just adds emotion to ur post...I really hope u cope with this well, and that ur able to enjoy life as u did b4 this tragedy...Best wishes 2 ya gurl! Keep ur head up.And I too believe in "Life after..D..." ~Lani

Hang in there, a friend of a friend killed herself last week and it's hard to see this girl I've known for so long in such a state... from happy and social to sad and withdrawn.. and constantly thinking she could've done something, even though she's helped this girl out of this outcome many times in the past.

Understand that even though they made know they have people around them that love them that whatever it was that led them to that decision was pain from within that they felt they could not escape/endure.

Sorry about your brother

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

I recently had to deal with my best friend's passing (last November) to suicide.

It's nothing that is easy to handle or deal with. It's so different from a car accident, or a death due to sickness.

What you have to know is, is that there is nothing you could have done to change the events that took place. It's not your fault, and more than likely, any attempts you would have made to change things... the situation would still be as it is now.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope that time helps heal your wounded heart, but keeps all of your wonderful memories alive.

Yes, this is the third death I've heard about in the last two weeks or so, it's not a good time of year for anyone...

Anyway, my condolences as well, I know I wouldn't like to lose my brother, as much as I dislike him at times. It must be a hard time for you but just keep your head up, keep on going, that's life.
