Tinabellaxo,

I am very sorry for your loss and the obvious trauma you have suffered. The guilt is perfectly normal, although at some point you will have to learn to forgive yourself and go on. You may want to consider either professional help or join a self help support group where you can talk about the devastating guilt you suffer. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and you were a victim in the situation, too.

Another thing you can do is journal (or write) about how you feel. That will help too. Tell the whole story. Try writing a letter to your brother and tell him everything you've wanted to say about this whole horrible tragedy. That may help more than you think possible.

 

We will be here for you,

ModKonnie

I feel, since I blamed myself for a sibling death, the first step is to realize, "It's not your fault!". Life is only one step of wrong or right after another. The next is to be very sure, "That person is in a better place." I have lost many, many people I loved more than I could express. I know pain. Just recently, I learned now that WE don't control it. Nor should we let it guilt us. My first guilt, was my daddy. I was told, by siblings, that I was the reason, my whole life, that I'm why he killed himself. All I'm going to share, but I DO understand!
