Answers:

1. Hug your brother......

2. talk talk talk that is all we got to do oh don't forget to LISTEN

3. I'm sorry to hear this. All you can do is support your brother and be strong yourself. Talk to him often and don't leave him alone. God with his family.

4. I am so sorry for your brother's loss. It must be devastating. Hopefully he won't blame himself as the "best friend" and do a guilt trip on himself. As far as what you can do for him, is just be there for him. Listen if he needs to talk, sit in silence if he just needs company. continue to love him and wrap him in that love.

5. Tell your brother that if he needs a hug at anytime, he can count on you for someone to or a shoulder to cry on.

6. is he horny for cows or do u wanna have it are a hot chick, a blonde?

7. the only thing to do is be there for him and know wen he needs to be alone.. but only time will get him through this your a good sister

8. well it's very hard to lose a Friend, like that i know it happened to me. all i can say is, hang in there with time you'll heal.

9. Be there for him and help he let his feelings out

10. The main problem your bro. may find is to feel guilty, for not to be there, and not notice the sinthoms. tell him, that some times people make wrong decitions, and something pushed his friend to end up with his life. Unfortunally it won't stop the pain. I learned pain has 3 steps, 1.- when is hurting, let it flow. cry cry and cry. 2.- then the hanger. he;ll be mad with his self. also, let it flow....nothing else to do. 3.- the acceptance, is the third and last step, may take couple months, BUT WILL COME. i am so sorry about what happened to you guys.

11. sad thing to hear another teen suicide. Only thing I can think is being sympathetic to ur brother. It would be easir for u to think this out since u know him better. What do u think he needs right now, time alone or comforting? Hope this helps.

12. Be there for you brother. He needs you!

13. Listen to him when he's ready to talk... about the good times and about his confusion.... talking it through will help him cope.deal with it. AND BIG HUGS!

14. all you can really do is be there for your brother to offer support in his time of pain. give him space to mourn, yet let him know that you are there to talk, cry, or distract him, as needed. you cannot make the pain go away or lessen. allow him to grieve. sometimes faith and prayer helps in knowing that the deceased is in a safe place, where they can watch over the living.

15. Often the friends and family of those who commit suicide don't suspect anything is wrong. Although there is nothing they could have done, they may also feel guilty for not having done something to stop it. But, frankly, someone who intends to commit suicide will not talk about it, to ensure that they cannot be dissuaded from this radical course of action. There's no rational explanation and it is a terrible and painful shock. You can help most by just being there and being caring and supportive. Suggest your brother thinks of a great way to pay tribute to his friend, whether it's as simple as planting a tree in his name, raising money for a cause his friend believed in, or even writing something to say at his funeral. Also ask your brother if there are any ways you and he can practically help his friend's family.

16. SORRY TO HEAR THAT MAYBE YOU CAN OFFER TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE FAMILY-OR HELP YOUR BROTHER AROUND THE HOUSE-I GUESS THE BEST THING IS TO GIVE HIM A CARD LET HIM KNOWING HOW MUCH YOU CARE AND TELL HIM IN THE CARD WHATEVER HE NEEDS OR WANTS TO LET YOU KNOW AND YOU WANT TO BE THERE FOR HIM DURING THIS TIME.

17. I am so sorry you and your brother are experiencing this pain. I lost my mom last year and there wasn't anything anyone could do for me except let me know that If I needed them they were there. The pain is so great that there isn't anything anyone can say or do for you at that time. I wish I could have the magic answer to wipe the pain away but unfortunately there isn't one. In time things will get easier just know that, and be accessible to your brother. I hope the pain eases soon ! Take care.

18. I've gone through two suicides that were close. I did not recognize the signs...because the signs where normal behavior.

19. Watch over him but dont be stifling. Make sure he has plenty to eat and drink (non-alcoholic). Go to the movies, dinner, take a drive, go fishing, anything he likes to do together. I dont know how old he is, but if he has a girlfriend eho is alsogoing thru it with him be kind to both. Remember, dont be afriad to speak of the deceased unless it pains your brother too much. Just make sure he understands you care.

20. just gve him a hug every now and then. and just let him be aloe. check up on him every once ina while. im so sorry i give you full support.

21. watch him like a hawk but dont be obvious. he probably isnt thinking clearly rite now and might do something stupid.take one day @ a time. be strong

22. Truthfully there really isn't anything you can do to make it less hurtful or ease his pain. Them being best friends is a bond that is incredible strong much like that of a family member. All you can really do is be there for him because he might blame himself. Re-assure him that he isn't to blame that his friend was going through something that he just couldn't cope with and he just wanted to be free from it. Tell your brother that his friend is in a place where earthly troubles can no longer bare him anymore pain. Just remind your brother he isn't to blame and be there for him, he will need someone to keep him strong through this. Tell him to keep his memory alive in his heart and to continue being strong that his friend would not want him to be sad. I wish i could help you more but this is something we have to go through. It reminds us that life is fragile and to enjoy every moment and everyone we love the most we can. I wish you both well and hope that your brother will be able to over come. God Bless !!

23. hey i no how much it hurts to loose someone........ the only thing you can do is to be with him...n give him space when he demands it. guys prefer to be alone when they going through a time like this...... it takes time but i hope he gets back to his normal self asap..... when he yearns for your love go n hug him it will definitely be soothing at this time ........ and dont worry ill pray for you......hope everything turns out the way it was..........
