My brother is 25 and he has been in a coma since Saturday when I found him trying to hang himself. It was his birthday and nobody could contact him. I had to break the door to get in.
He's hanging on to life but doctors say not to be too hopeful about it. He spent a lot of time without oxygen.
There are no words to describe how my mother is right now. There's nothing you could do or say to make her feel better. She just stays with him in the hospital, day and night.
We all had noticed my brother was acting strange lately, barely speaking, no interest in doing anything. Never thought it would get to this.
He wrote a note but didn't explain why he was doing it, just said that he didn't want any religious ceremony for his funeral. He wanted a cremation and nothing else.
This isn't really a question but I had to open up somewhere, sorry.
Terrible terrible situation. I'm really sorry to hear this. It's really awful that someone is in that state of mind where ending it all like that is an option to them. Too much to handle for everyone involved.
Hopefully, you and your mother can take some small measure of solace in knowing that your post is being read and people will be deeply moved by what you have openly shared with them. May your family find the inner peace that is needed during such troubled times.
I'm so sorry ASPrince. What a horrible scene you stumbled upon. Those intent on suicide can't think beyond their own release from their inner demons. I'm sure if he was in a healthy state of mind he would regret what your family is now going through. And understand, it isn't you, it's him.
One part of me wants him to live, he's my brother and I don't want him to die. But the other part of me wonders what kind of life he'll have if he survives. There's still not a good picture of what lifelong problems he may have to deal with if he manages to survive.
I am so very sorry about your brother. You and your family must be going through hell. Thinking of all of you and wishing you as much peace as is possible at a time like this. *Hugs*

He was...well, is such an extrovert person, always making jokes, always having fun with others. He just finished his master's degree with top grades.
We've never been very close because, despite being outgoing, he was very reserved regarding his personal issues. You would never hear him complain about anything.

A lot of people wear facades and you'd never know what is going on under that hood so to speak. I hope it turn out well. It's all depends on how long he was deprived without oxygen, don't want to get into the details, but times will tell soon.
Again, awful situation.
