    you can take as much time as you need to grieve. Its a process. There is no time limit to get over the death of your brother. My 16 year old brother committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth on March 28th. You should still talk about it even if you family doesn't. You are the voice. If you need to talk about it you should. Your parents are stuffing their emotions down by not discussing it. This is your story and you could help so many others by sharing it.

    my brother committed suicide too he was 19 and i was 14 now i am 30 years old i understand it is soo hard i never expected or saw anything like that coming from him and now 16yrs later(june 27) me and my parents (it was only me and my brother) never talk about him ever to eachother in all these years i have 2 sons now who barley know anything about him i think about him every single day and i know my parents do but we never dealt with it as a family so i feel you should take the first step bring him up bring up memories all the good times funny things he did things he taught you guys believe me i know that doing the most random things will make you think of him and maybe then the rest of your family will start to feel more comfortable and you guys can talk cry whatever it is that day about him otherwise i fear like my family the longer it goes on like this no talking it stays that way and too me i cry about him everyday and i feel keeping open hearts and minds to eachother is the way to healing good luck and feel free to email me or anything if you ever want to talk
