Losing anyone is hard, especially a family member. I am very sorry for your loss.

It's hard to understand. I'm so sorry you're hurting. May your brother rest in peace, and may you find peace. Prayers for all of you, NW.

That is tough. I hope you can take care from yourself. None of us do enough because until it is too late we think we can catch up later. Make it today.

Perhaps you can dedicate this year to remembering him. And make your peace with any other family members.

I wish I could give you some of my peace, but you have to take it for yourself. Take peace.

I am so sorry. My sister is also bipolar and the mental health system is in shambles, we as a country should be ashamed.

I am so very sorry. His struggle is over, and he is free from his demons, yet the price much too high....my heart hurts for him, and all of those who love him, and all of those like him, who struggle. you are so right about our health care, a money making shame.

What really gets me is that it could BE me. I also suffer from bipolar, which is getting worse as time marches on. It could be my kids, my sister, either of my two remaining brothers... Something needs to be done to genuinely help people with mental illness in this country. The current state of things isn't cutting it.
I completely agree.

Too many people are cast aside, fall through the cracks, dismissed...when some proper care and help would change their lives completely. Many times the process to get help when you can't afford it is ridiculous, and even then, you may be sent to some general clinic and not a specialist, who is NEEDED.

The entire health care system angers me.

For SO MANY REASONS...

Sending you strength and comfort.

Peace.
