    Many take their lives as a result not of lonliness, but despair, if it's deep enough, isn't even comforted with love nor being surrounded by those who love you....sad but true.

    I think my brother never recovered from his fathers suicide. Lately my brother has accomplished alot of things and maybe because of a deep want and desire to share this with his father caused this. Only speculation.......thinking outloud.

    The stone

    The stone by the dave matthews band

    Ive this creeping, suspicion that things here are not as they seem.
    Reassure me, oh why do I feel as if Im in too deep.
    Now Ive been praying, for some way to show them Im not what they see.
    Yes I have done wrong, but what I did I thought needed be done, I swear.

    Oh, unholy day, if I leave now I might get away.
    Oh but this weighs on me, as heavy as stone and as blue as I go.

    I was just wondering if youd come along.
    Hold up my head when my head wont hold on.
    Ill do the same if the sames what you want,
    If not Ill go, I will go a long...

    ..long way, ah, from that fools mistake.
    And now forever pay, no run, I will run and Ill be ok.

    I was just wondering if youd come along.
    Hold up my head when my head wont hold on.
    Ill do the same if the sames what you want,
    But if not Ill go, I will go a long...

    ...long way, to bury the past for I dont want to pay.
    Oh how I wish, this, to turn back the clock and do over again.

    Now Im just wondering if youd come a-long.
    Hold up my head when my head wont hold on.
    Ill do the same if the sames what you want,
    But if not Ill go, Ill go alone.

    I need so, to stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close.
    And now it weighs on me, as heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold.

    I was just wondering if youd come a--long.
    Tell me you will

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Those are beautiful songs. The only way I can tolerate severe emotional pain is through music too. It helps me to release the pain inside. Have you heard Cheryl Crow's latest CD? There is a song on there called Letter to God and it is remarkably comforting. Once again, I feel for you so much. And someday, somewhere you will meet again.

    I woke up late
    Put my sweater on
    And I walked down to the shop
    I stood in line
    'Til the line was gone
    And my turn to win was lost

    What do you do
    When you look to the left and to the right
    And find no clue?

    Well I'm sending a letter to God
    How will it be when I'm gone?
    And what if everyone is wrong?

    I took you in
    Made a bed for you
    And in turn you gave me some
    Words to go on
    Told me I was saved
    But you never said what from

    What do you do
    When you look to the left and to the right
    And find no clues
    To the questions you ask yourself at night?
    Who will come through?

    You'll be sending a letter to God
    How will it be when you're gone?
    And what if everyone is wrong?

    A solid case
    For the innocent
    Could be made and laid to rest
    They say, "it won't do
    If you aren't like us
    Then you've failed the final test"

    What do you feel
    When you look to the east and to the west
    If this is real
    Does it feel like some never ending test?
    A finance deal
    If this is my one last chance to invest
    I've one request

    I'll be sending a letter to God
    To know where will I go when I'm gone
    And what if everyone is wrong?

    Purps, I'm sure that your brother would be proud of the way that you set-up his funeral. It was very loving of you to make sure that ALL of his friends could be there to give their condolences and to have closure. You have been through a lot, and I know that you don't want your daughter to go to boot camp, so this is extra added stress. Be kind to yourself and don't overdo things now. You need to rest and reflect. Some times the burdens of life can be overwhelming, you've got to make sure that you have a good outlet for your pent up emotions. Only you, know what keeps the haunts at bey. So, take some quiet time and listen to your inner self.

    As always, time heals all wounds.

    ((((hugs))) Melinda
