I am so sorry, Medic. Usually I wish I had the right words. Right now I know no words help.

I can't agree with Friday and joeylittle enough. Please reach out for help. Don't be alone. You need to be around people, even if it's painful and you feel like you need to be alone. This is the sort of tragedy that requires back up, regardless.
 
Oh shit! That's terrible. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to be in your shoes @Medic72 .

I'm am so sorry @Medic72 . I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sorry you have to deal with suicide. It's dreadful :(

My advice is to do what feels best for you. The only thing which is important for now is for you to look after yourself with what works for you. We are here if you need to talk or just want someone to listen. Surround yourself with support as much as you can.

The only thing I remember when my dad died was being alone and sitting in the middle of the floor. My dear friend at the time offered support being that I went to her place when I wanted to be home and I felt so let down by her actions. I had another friend come over, sit with me and after awhile he took me out with my consent. My point is, while everyone has an opinion, it's always easy to sit on the outside and give out advice based on what we think one would need. Grief is an individual thing. I would hope you have the support which allows you to go through this with what you feel is best for you.

Take care.
