My heart goes out to you.  My dear brother (who was the best man I knew and my best and oldest friend) died by suicide 4 years ago.  Not a waking hour goes by without regret about what I did NOT do to save him, even four years later.  I'm so sorry for what you are going through, and I'll I can say is trust your instincts and do not hesitate to intervene, even if he hates you for it in the short term.  Almost anything but death can be fixed.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. Thank you for sharing your detailed story with me. I'll share it with my family today so we can decide how to proceed.

Thank you to both posters at 13:10, also.

My brother doesn't own a gun (that we know of). Our family is spread out geographically, but we'll be in the same area shortly. I'm wondering if sitting down as a family to speak with him and encourage him to seek help would be useful. We've all spoken to him separately, but it never progresses. [/quote]
