Donna, my brother also died in 2011. He shot himself. I also struggle with the guilt that I possibly could have done more. We seem to have a few things in common. My brother was also very successful. I thought he had everything he could possibly want in life. In school, he excelled and then he built his own business in which perfection was so important to him. He lived 3 hours from me, so naturally we did not see each other very much. But we did talk on the phone. I tried to help him the last 4 years when he caused his world to come crashing down. Even then I wondered if I was doing enough! Now he is gone and there will be no answers....I just have to try and learn how to deal with this. This is such a horrible place for all of us to be in.....
