you will never get over it.





Seeing someone die is one thing? But seeing someone trying to inflict death on themselves is another.





The best thing you can do , is talk to someone outside of yahoo answers about this serious issue , it will always bother i know that much , the best thing you can do is think positive , hes still here? and he loves you.





Trying to understand suicide is a hard thing , it takes therapist years to understand why people would want to take there own life , it could even take you a lifetime to finally be at peace with what your brother tried to do.





I would read up on it , and try to see why he tried to do it , maybe you might understand why he went to such drastic measures.





You cant let this eat you up inside , i see your a loving caring sister who only wants the best for her brother , but he doesn't want you to be living in the past. He wants you to learn from the experience , he was crying out for help believe it or not. Maybe spend a lot more time with him.





Heres what i would personally do about the sleep thing :





Lay in bed , shut your eyes , and think back to when you where both a lot younger , think about the times of happiness , think about the good stuff you guys did.





Also think about all the positive things that happened during your day. No matter how small , think about them.





When you dream your mind taps into the subconscious and it replays all the events that took place in your day , so if you think about things positively before you go to sleep , your more likely to have a nicer dream. It works for me!





Good Luck!





I wish you and your brother a merry christmas and a happy new year.How do you forget about the scars of suicide?
Its never hard to forget about something that has been very traumatic and has left you feared in some type of way. The hardest is to let the past be the past. But look forward to his future, If he failed at his suicide attempts remind him that he was put on this earth for a reason and one day he will know/understand why. Lifes a hard journery but if you keep on the right path anything is possiable.





Happy Holidays %26amp; God Bless.
I feel your pain. My mom attempted suicide a few years ago. I know it hurts, but you can't be following him around. It's his life, and you have to protect yours. It will only make matters worse for you if you keep following him around and watching his every move. It's also not going to prevent him from attempting suicide again.





The best thing you can do is be there for him when he needs you. Comfort him and be there for him, but don't push him along. At one point or another he is going to have to do things on his own.
The only way you will forget is by believing you want to. If you don't you will never forget. Remember that that was the past and everyone has to move on. If a sight does get burnt into your memory it is hard to forget what happened. If you can't forget it may be worth talking to someone you trust such as a friend or relative about how you feel. It might make you feel better if they can help you. You may get emotional whilst talking but that is okay the person you trust will understand.


You are not wrong about being overprotective and the fact he gets annoyed is not good, maybe you should talk to him about why you are are being overprotective and then get his assurance that it won't happen again.


I'm sorry to hear what happened.
That must have been very traumatic for you. I'm sorry you had to see that. If it's giving you recurrent nightmares, you have to convince yourself that you are the ';hero'; in that scene. If not for you (having found him), he could been successful in his attempt. If you think of it in a positive way (i.e, what you did was good) it's a lot easier to forget the scars. Keep thinking of that wonderful feeling finding him alive; forget about the ugly feeling that he could have been dead. Think happy. Think Merry Christmas always! God bless.





There's nothing wrong with being protective of your brother. You're only trying to be a responsible sister and that's a good thing. Sometimes, however, it would seem like you are not appreciative. What you could do is back off some and give him some space. It's enough that he knows you care. That's all you can do.
This is a very difficult and complex situation. I ran into my cousin in the bathtub attempting to commit suicide. he was 18 and i was 14.





I can still see it. and i know that my cousin isn't my little brother. but he was my brother because he was the closest cousin out of my family and i have no siblings.





I still see it sometimes. but it's good now, because i know he's better.








You need to find out if the problem that your little brother faced is gone and done. Speak with him about it. If he doesn't want to talk about it. Wait, give it time. Because he will eventually open up to you. Once he feels better about discussing it.





I wish you the best of luck.
It's hard forgetting that in your situation


I just had a friend past away because she committed suicide


and its really hard to forget about her.


But she probably did it cause something was bothering her.


So try talking to your brother and ask him why was he gonna do it


and if he tells you, help him.


And you'll forget about it after he feels better
I don't know how you forget but when you said he gets annoyed at you being overprotective of him...you should try and judge when you should try and protect him, you don't want him getting more annoyed.





I hope life gets better for your brother and merry christmas!!
Well, if it seems that your brother is still acting the way he did before he tried suicide, I would watch out, but not in a clingy way to get him annoyed. And to get over it, just think that he's alive still and that's what matters.
you'll probably never forget it hun you about lost one of the closes peps 2 you all you can do is remind him suicide is a permanent Solution to a temporary situation what every he is going threw wil soon pass
it takes time babygirl but your gonna have to be strong and get over it which i know isn't gonna be easy, trust me i know.
The only way u will get over it is when u see your brother safe and not in a mental state. Make sure he gets help and over time u will gradually forget about it seeing him live and well.
its his life odds are he will try again as long as he is happy you should worry about your own life
Are you telling me you saved a boy's life? I never have.
psychiatrist, or just pray
makeup
who knows
talk to him


get his reassurance that it wont happen again
