Rethinking Suicide

Not for me, so no, I'm not in trouble....

My step-brother committed suicide around the time of my birthday. If you've read this blog for any length of time, you know how I've spouted off and said I don't believe it's right, and given my reasons...

But..
What if I'm wrong?

I don't have the right to judge anyone. None of us really knows what's on the other side. We speculate and have opinions and beliefs, but none of us can really understand another's path. What if suicide was the path for someone? How can we really know?

When I talked to my step-mom, I didn't spout off to her. I tried to comfort her, instead. I'm sure she was feeling pretty bad already, and didn't need me to judge her or her son. She needed someone to say they heard her pain, and I did.

I do.
