    I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself, hon. If music is helping you cope and get through the feelings, then go with that. We're all here for you.

    hugs and more hugs to you sweet girl. I cant even imagine what you are going through. If songs help...I have always loved this song by Josh Groban.

    JOSH GROBAN LYRICS "To Where You Are"

    Who can say for certain
    Maybe you're still here
    I feel you all around me
    Your memory's so clear

    Deep in the stillness
    I can hear you speak
    You're still an inspiration
    Can it be (?)
    That you are mine
    Forever love
    And you are watching over me from up above

    Fly me up to where you are
    Beyond the distant star
    I wish upon tonight
    To see you smile
    If only for awhile to know you're there
    A breath away's not far
    To where you are

    Are you gently sleeping
    Here inside my dream
    And isn't faith believing
    All power can't be seen

    As my heart holds you
    Just one beat away
    I cherish all you gave me everyday
    'Cause you are my
    Forever love
    Watching me from up above

    And I believe
    That angels breathe
    And that love will live on and never leave

    Fly me up
    To where you are
    Beyond the distant star
    I wish upon tonight
    To see you smile
    If only for awhile
    To know you're there
    A breath away's not far
    To where you are

    I know you're there
    A breath away's not far
    To where you are

    Dear Purps; This little poem helped me thru my mother's passing. I'll change it to fit your dear brother; He meant so very much to us that nothing we could say Could tell the sadness in our hearts as we think of him today But the sweetness of his memory time can neither dim nor fade As we remember again and are thankful for all the good years that we had. I hope this helps in some small way. Love Arwen

    Deeply saddened over your loss, Purps!

    My older brother, then 29, ended his life - but his death also killed my mother (she died 4 years later having never got over it), which affected my dad who died four months later, which affected my sister and I!

    Suicide doesn't just affect the person who did it. It has ramifications for the entire family!

    Love and ((((((((hugs)))))))),

    Ian, that is so true....and Purple, I think my sister wanted to be with my Mother too. She only accepted that my Mother did indeed committed suicide about a year ago. I came to terms with that 18 years ago but she just didnt want to believe it.

    I will never get over my mother and my sister's suicides, ever , but ....... I am like you I try to go on, be the best I can be and cherish my family as deeply as I can.

    I wasnt so angry when my sister killed herself as when my Mother did, because I learned alot , reading about suicide, from those who tried but did not succeed. It kind of helped me understand , the best way that one can, of why my sister chose the path she took. She was just tired I think , and had a really bad weekend, add to that the JW cult upbringing, our home life, abusive hubby, etc. etc. and well, she was just tired.

    I miss Ginger so much , I still breakdown and cry a few times a week, and usually it is when I hear a certain song.

    Ones that make me think of my sister are: "I miss you a little " , by John Michael Montgomery,,,,,,,,,,,"Angel Flying too close the ground" by Willie Nelson, "Tonite I want to cry" Keith Urban, " Who'd you be today" by Kenny Chesney, just to name a few.

    ((((((((((((((((( Purple )))))))))))))))) my thoughts are with you . Call me anytime day or night, I sent my number to you PM, I know you need time , but when you are ready call, love ya Dede.
