Today, on the 4th anniversary of my brother's death, I still feel guilty. I was the party animal, he was the good kid. The one time he took my advice to "just let go and have fun," it ended his life. MMT

Let yourself be free of guilt. It was not your fault, friend.

Everyone here is selfish. Nobody is to blame for anything, ever! Forget confession and divine forgiveness because we can all make the judgment ourselves that each one of us is entirely alone. If Robby gave his brother a gun and told him to shoot it, can he be blamed for his brother pulling the trigger? Of course. He doesn't get the full blame for what happened (a drug death? drinking and driving?) because we can't automatically blame others for our own faults either... but we share accountability. Our actions influence others. As the elder brother he had a responsibility for his sibling's wellbeing. His brother chose to take his advice. He gave him advice. Don't let yourself be *consumed* by guilt, Robby. See a therapist if you haven't before.

It is not your fault. You have to let go of guilt or it will consume you. Your brother would not want you to feel guilty over his death. He is watching over you and wants you to be free.

Lim, if you see dead people tell my grandfather I'm sorry I broke his watch. You've really assumed alot there.

Its going to get better someday. you cant let this hold you down when you can be so wonderful

This is something you should let go or it will tear you up inside, know that your brother loved you and keep on loving him.

It's not your fault.

I don't know you Robby, but I love you! You have the capability to shift souls, and change mountains, let good deeds make you feel good! Love, YouRock!
