I don't tell many people this because it was/is a part of my life and people really don't need to know.
My only sibling, twin brother committed suicide. He left my two nephews without a father.
For me, it was the learning experience of a lifetime. I watched an individual who could not get negativity out of his mindset. What did I learn from that.....To be positive, spend the most time I could muster everyday being positive. Now I had to take a really sad thing and turn it around. It's made a difference in my life.
It's a talking point now with my nephews and my kids as well.
I'll never forget a lady who runs a non profit organization that supports kids who parents and siblings committed suicide. By the way we support this organization through a golf tournament we run in my brother's honor.
She said "Death should be a learning experience to the living, we may not understand why all the time but their are always lessons to be learned, we just need to look hard enough"
I don't mean to beat you over the head here, just asking you to look for perspective from all angles. I think the questions why? and Why not? are actually the same thing. Think about it.
