I have a brother who is thinking of committing suicide?!


Question: I have a brother who is thinking of committing suicide!?
He has just found out that he has a cancer that is not operable and that it will be a very painful death and has a very short time!. He has everything in order and wishes to end it his way!. Do you agree with the decision or not!? just need some input not judgment!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Its not really a right or wrong answer to this question !.!.only he knows what pain he is in or may be in !.!.and whatever his decision is you need to support him and offer him love and compassion he needs a strong family member to be there for him not someone preaching to him, Whatever his decision is it is ultimately what he feels is best!.love him let him know you are there for him !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is purely my opinion and shouldn't be used to make any sort of decision!.

If I was in his position!.!.!.I would feel the same way!. Right now, I'm afraid of death and wouldn't be able to actually commit suicide, but if I had "everything in order"!.!.!.and was really okay with it, then I would!.

The only problem is that I'm religious and one reason I'm afraid of death is because I don't know what to expect afterward!. If God is real, if Hell is real, then I don't want to screw myself over for eternity by killing myself!.

Also, when faced with death, everyone goes through different stages, the last being "acceptance"!. Right now your brother is probably so scared and also angry and overwhelmed!. It makes sense to try to take control and to try to avoid a painful death!. Perhaps later on, though, he'll feel differently!.

Another very small thing- what if he got better!? What if they could relieve the pain!?
I understand it is so unlikely, and I don't encourage you to get your hopes up, but maybe looking at it like that could help!. Just thinking that he will most likely die from this cancer, but he shouldn't get ahead of himself!. Wait it out, that way-just in case- he doesn't miss any opportunities!.

I really don't know what to do in your situation!.!.or in his situation!. But I wish you both and your family the best of luck and I certainly encourage you to talk to as many people as you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not at all!. Cancer is the #1 killer in the world and till now we can not find a cure!. Painful or not he needs to get his life together and start making plans just in case!. I don't blame him but you as his sister encourage him to enjoy what's left of his life and make him his head up and be proud of who he is and who he will he after!. If he commits suicide he is not thinking of his love ones and the pain in the family!. He needs to go on vacation if he has no cure!. Hell go travel the world!Www@Answer-Health@Com

make your piece with him and say what you need to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sometimes spontaneous remission occurs!. Sometimes the diagnosis is incorrect!. The best idea is to be positive; perhaps volunteering to trial experimental medications, and wait until IF there is actually severe pain which medication can't help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
