I'm at a loss of words. I wish I could have known him better.

    Losing someone close to suicide is really Traumatic. Don’t feel bad about using mental health resources that are available to you. Talk to a counselor if you can, or a clergy member if that’s your thing, what is important is that you work on all the shock and grief that you’re feeling now.

    It takes a really long time to process this kind of a loss. There’s nothing week about finding support for yourself, and getting support where you can.

    If you feel up to it, let your friends family know how much you loved him. Those sorts of sentiments mean the world. We still have cards people sent us after my brother killed himself.

    We tend not to talk about grief, death, and loss. But we should.
