Thank you so much, Debra and Suzanne (and any other readers out there). It helps so much to know I'm not alone, and that you "hear" me in a special, though...
Hello, I lost my brother to AEA in January. So far, when I tell people that my brother died I say that "he took his own life". I don't say he committed...
