Shocking Bad News !

My mother just texted me that a cousin of mine committed suicide!!! I’m not close to him, he grew up in the city while I grew up here in the province but we get to see each other every holidays or summer breaks, I never really thought of him fondly or miss him and want to see him, but hearing this news shook me to my core! I’m sad that he felt that alone that he couldn’t handle his problems anymore. I feel responsible because if I was someone to him maybe he would have confided in me like everyone I’m close to, maybe he wouldn’t have given up... I don’t know but my heart is breaking right now, I know how it feels like when you get to a point where you think suicide might be the only way to end the pain but my husband was there helping me face my pain, I can just imagine him facing it alone and it chokes me...I don’t know why...he means nothing to me, but it’s hard to breathe right now!

I am very sorry for your cousin, it's horrible to feel so sick to decide to take your own life. Do not blame yourself for this, there was nothing you could do.

This is really sad to know how feeble are the brother-sister relationships.
