      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I lost my brother aged 68, in 2022 without any prior warning he was unwell. One day he just went into his garage and hung himself, leaving no note for his siblings or mother.  I had to tell my 98 year old mother her son had died by his own hand. She never recovered after that and in 2024, we lost her to dementia and a broken heart.<br />
<br />
My brother has a family, 2 adult daughters and a wife, they were left a note, but have given us no indication of why he took his own life. <br />

I am still devastated and even though I&#039;m getting professional help to cope with it, the sadness and images come every night. Waking up also brings a knot of reality in the pit of your stomach and you wish it was not real. And to control the mind from going into the areas of regret, self blame of things you could have done, the &quot;should&#039;ve, would&#039;ves, and could&#039;ves&quot; just destroys me each day.

But someone somewhere said that grief is the price we pay to love someone. It hasn&#039;t hurt to the same degree every year, but this year the anniversary hurt more than it has for a long time. One reason is that I finally published my blog posts about Malcolm&#039;s suicide so I was re-reading and re-membering all that. I have been encouraged to share my book.

I’m reaching out here because I’ve recently lost someone who meant the world to me. He was not just my partner, but my best friend, and losing him has left me feeling completely lost. I’m struggling with the overwhelming emotions that come with grief—especially when the person I loved and envisioned my future with is no longer a part of my life, even though I still care deeply for him.<br />
