Brother killed himself
 
My brother committed suicide yesterday, for reasons I don't truly understand. He was mentally ill and that illness killed him, the pills didn't kill him, they were just a means to an end, depression did.

Right now I just feel numb, like this isn't really happening. I'm scared for when that feeling wears off.

My heart is broken.

I hope I'm wrong and there is a heaven, brother, so I can see you again, someday

Tom.

I've already promised myself that I will not insult his memory by using this as excuse to drink.

Thank you for all your support everybody.
