[QUOTE="worldwidetraveler, post: 1242613, member: 1934"] This type of thing can quite easily put someone into shock. People react differently and being in shock isn't a weakness he needs to get over. It's quite different when you are, on a daily basis, trying to help someone who has had issues for years than say a close friend who you don't live with. Sure, they both hurt, but it is normal to have some guilty thoughts that maybe, just maybe, you could have done something different to have helped your friend or brother. I get what you're saying. There isn't anything anyone here will be able to say to make this go away. He still wanted to share and people still wanted to share their "sorry". Who are you to tell him he can't share his story and members can't respond with sympathy? These are one of those times you should have just moved along instead of posting. Edited to add: After reading your next post, it looks like you are getting overly emotional because of the OP's post. Maybe you need to deal with your emotions and move on. No one should get this way over a post. [/QUOTE]
