Hello all
Well just when things start getting better another thing happens. ON sunday my brother walked out into the woods and took his own life. They just found his remans yesterday. All the police would say is that it was clearly suicide. In the last 4 weeks he was sending all his things to other folks that he cared about. then he took all the rest of his belongings to his daughters town she lived in and mailed a package with his last will and testamnet in it to her. He got a rental car and drove off out into the woods. There is lots more to tell but I dont think it needs to be put down. I just want to let everyone know as I am having a really hard time trying to understand why. There were no clues you would ask if everthing was ok and he acted just like normal like there was nothing wrong. I will shut up now I just need to talk.

Rodney, what can we say in a situation like this? My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. Keep the faith.
 
Rodney, You will be in my prayers but take some comfort in knowing that it all happens for a reason. You may not understand or ever find the actual reason. He now is serving a greater purpose and is rid of the pain and agony only he had to deal with. Please feel free to talk or ramble if it helps clear your mind thats what we are here for.
 
Lord I ask that you heklp heal the wound made by this descision. I ask that you direct Rodney and his family grasp this. Can you please help them understand and be able to pass over this situation.

Rodney if you need or want to PM me I will pray with you,talk or just listen to you
 
Rodney, My Thoughts and prayers will go out to you and your family, Depression can and often does some terrible things, it's a shame to give u a life willingly, I've been to the brink of not really giving a damn whether I woke up the next morning, but my wife understood and got me some help. that was nearly 30 years ago, and every once in a while things still get unsettling, but never that bad any more. Peace to you, and try and keep your spirits gathered around you, your times of late have been pretty rough, Hang in and help the others, it will also help you.
 
Man, I am so very sorry to hear that. I will be praying. Please take care of yourself and his family. They will need you through all of this as much as you need them.
 
I put you on my prayer list, Rodney. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If it helps, then rant on, we have big shoulders.
 
There are no "why's" that satisfy. I am keeping your family in prayer. By all means, make sure that each person who needs to talk has a compassionate ear available. Very few people can handle this alone, and I hope that the help you all need to deal with this is close at hand.

So sorry to read about you and your families loss . Two things about this post stand out to me ,the first is your brother for whatever reasons took a course of action to deal with some unknown and to him insurmountable problem ,it was a considered and careful finalisation for him ,speculating on what may have been the reasons will not undo it ,nor take away the hurt and loss ,I am sure if the problems he was dealing with were "fixable" then he would have asked for help to get past whatever was troubling him .We can never truly know what lies in the hearts and minds of others, no matter how close we are ,in the end we are only able to know ourselves and do the best we can ,do not feel blame yourself for something beyond your control, that in itself is self defeating ,concern for others is what makes us human . The fact that you were able to put up this message means you are well on the way to recovering from this situation ,not bottling up negative emotions and hiding in dark corners :). Let me say as a stranger that there are some worse things than dying ,each of us has our own scenario. God bless, stay strong and move forward once more . Cheers ~ John
 
Rodney I don't normally respond to post asking for prayers as I'm not one to pray. I'm so sorry for your lose. I lost a brother to suicide a few years. PM me if you could use someone to talk to.

I am thinking about you too my friend! If you need someone to talk to, I will give you a call.... you can give me a call...... you can scream and cuss and freak out on me man. If you need to get it off your chest, i will gladly be the target! Just say the word!!
 
Sorry to hear of your loss Rodney, Our prayers ar with you and your family in these hard times. As said from others if you need anything dont hesitate to ask my friend. God Bless.
 
Rodney, my condolences on the loss of your brother. I'll keep you close in prayer.

You have a lot of support from the brotherhood here. I lost my
Dad to suicide. If you ever need to talk, please let me know.

My Condolences

Rodney, my deepest thoughts and condolences goes to you and you family. I am sure it's very hard to loose a loved one specially this way. the best comforting thing to do is ask God to give him a place in that world ,so he won't be missing us down here. Please feel free to speak about this as lots of us here can offer comfort.
You take care and MY God bless you and yours.
 
Rodney,

Time will sooth the hurt from this. My wifes youngest brioher took his life several years back. No one saw it coming or if they did, did not realize what they saw. He was back in St Louis within 20 miles of his father, step mother, five brothers and a step sister. They all tried to blame themselves for not seeing it and stopping him. To this day my wife ocassionally rehashes it.

The down in dirty is that he made the decision to selfishly take his own life without regard to how it affected others. The sooner you all can accept that it was his decision and that "YOU" did nothing wrong then the healing will begin. And please don't be to proud to ask for help in dealing with it...It's hell on the best of us....Don't mean to preach but I've also had a couple of guys I used to ride with take the easy way out. I think if they really knew the pain they caused they might have thought twice.

If you need to rant go for it or if you need a few private words PM....
 
Rodney,

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Take care and God Bless.

You have my sympathies. It's a decision that far too many people make, that I'm sure feels rational to them at the moment, but those that care about them are left dealing with the aftermath. I hope you have support and willingly accept help when you may need it, as you deal with this.
 
God gives us no more than we can handle, but it is difficult and takes time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
