August 12, 2019 my brother committed suicide. He drove out into the desert and shot himself in the head. He was 33 years old. We share the same birthday. He suffered severe PTSD and survival guilt due to and accident that he survived but his friend didn't. He was a teenager the time. He got married this past April to a wonderful woman. Days before he killed himself I had heard he was having really bad night terrors. He left a note on Facebook to tell everyone goodbye. He left behind a 12 year old son, wife, mother, and other family and friends. I don't condone what he did, but I can understand. This understanding doesn't bring answers. I am angry, hurt, and a lot of other things. Now I am the one dealing with survivors guilt, not as severe as his. Being the eldest and him being the second to youngest I know it's my job to help my mom, brothers, and others get through this tragedy. I am not going anywhere. I just know I am not as strong as I portray, and I know I will mourn for a very long time. He was an amazing brother, husband and father.
