Suicide - coping with the loss

Posted by NZgirl on December 4, 2005, at 20:19:10

Hi. My younger brother committed suicide 14 months ago. It seems that I'm having more trouble coping now than I did a year ago. I just can't stop thinking about him. I break into tears at the drop of a hat. I also have chronic fatigue and its getting worse I think because of stress. I can't imagine that I will ever be happy again. I just cannot see a life of joy ahead of me. Is there anyone else who has lost a close family member in this way? How long will this last. I feel like my life has changed forever and will always be this way.
I've heard that the grief process can take about 2 years, but I seem to be getting worse not better. I'm having counselling, but it doesnt seem to help at all.
