Re: Simpathy and impoathy are two very different things....
I'm sorry to hear about your loss my friend. What I'm starting to understand is that the pain never truly goes away, it just becomes less cumbersome as the months go by. It still feels like a dream to me...And when I dream about him (which happens frequently) it feels so real. Odd but true.
Mystical:
You're right on the money. As for faith, I don't believe in God as written in the Holy Bible or the Cohran (sp?) or whatever however I believe that God is the power of existance and that's something none of us will ever be able to define. It's our ignorance, insecurities and our lack of self respect as man that leads us to make up ficticious events such as the birth of Jesus and so on. I believe in the teaching of the bible but not the legitmacy of it. The bible and religions make mankind aware of it's nature thus enlightening ourselves how to improve upon it. I really wanna believe my brother is out there in Heaven but I believe his spirit resides in the people that loved him and knew him well.
I hope no one takes offence to my remarks as they're just my opinion and not meant to knock anyone or dissuade them from praying for my brother's soul as I could in fact be very wrong.
Everyones efforts are appreciated.

PS the reason he killed himself was he was sczhitsophrenic(sorry for the spelling) with severe depression in russia(siberia) they don't have meds specially back in those days so he had no choice and alcohol made it a lot worse the worse part that was not the first time he had a scar o his neck i never really asked where it came from but he tried killing himself 10 years before that but his
wife found him and they saved him...they neve told me he was crazy but he raised me i found out everything from my mom when she called me and told me he was dead, i had a mental break down and still saffering from panic attacs and depression i have not been back to russia for 8 years never been back my cousin is 20 years old, our birthdays are on the same day may 3rd two years apart......i can only imagine what he is going through right i talk to him he was never the same, i have been back to russia i'm from siberia for 8 years because if i go back as a russian citizen i go straight to the army from the airport everyone goes to the army in russia most don't make it back specially with chechnia war going on....
be strong man...
