11% of the way there. Thank you.
I am not looking forward to Monday. I will have to pick out a playlist for his funeral. Ngl, I kinda want to put at least one of the original MOTHER songs. Probably the eight melodies done by the St. Paul's choir.

My family has arranged a gofundme for my brother Kyle. If you can't donate anything, sharing it will mean the world to me. We do not have the funds on hand for his burial and funeral. He did not have any life insurance for us to help in paying.

We are almost to $1.5k out of the $15k needed for his burial and funeral service.

Thank you to those who have shared and donated so far.

I wish I didn't give him the space. I wish I had just kept texting him like I've done in the past.

Now, I am preparing funeral arrangements tomorrow, picking out songs to play, and looking at who to contact with the funeral dates once it's set.

I knew he was struggling, which is why I tried so many different avenues to try and help him.

I always asked if he wanted to hang out, or I would invite him to the movies. And of course, the one day I didn't pester him with calls or messages, he does that.

At least when my dad passed from cancer, I had time to build up for the inevitably of it all. I knew more or less when his last day on earth would be. When it comes to suicide, you have no time to prepare or react.

I keep hoping I would just stfu about all of this, but I just can't. I somehow feel overwhelmed with the affection I am receiving, but also incredibly alone at the same time.

The emotional whiplash of grief doesn't help at all.

He was only going to be 30... I just. 30 is a nothing number. You're barely halfway through your life. I just don't know what to fucking say.

The other two days will be for the visitation and the actual funeral/burial itself.

I do not have any more PTO, so if I even wanted to take off with that, I can't.

His birthday is in a couple of weeks, too. He would have been 30 years old.

I hate that I will have to return to work on Tuesday and just Pretend that my little brother isn't dead, so I don't have to face the fear of not having money for bills. They only give 3 days of bereavement, even for close family members. I want to use one of my days for Monday.

We played some friends vs. friends too. I forgot how fun that game can be.

Playing fortnite with friends to help distract, and we are just the furry squad now.

I don't think I could ever do it now, though. I wouldn't want to put anyone through something like this ever, no matter how far into rock bottom I get. The medication helps too.

I know being happy or having fun doesn't mean he wasn't struggling still. If anything, a lot of the time, I noticed folks who consider suicide are incredibly happy their last days on earth. It's almost from a feeling of comfort, as someone who has attempted in the past.

God, he was just playing Bioshock at my house not too long ago. He seemed to be having fun, too. I just can't believe this. I need to distract myself. Maybe play games with friends.

There's so many things that will be hard to enjoy moving forward. I thankfully have an appointment with my psychiatrist on the 3rd.

I hate to keep bumping this, but i know it's good for the bluesky algorithm to get this passed around. We need help, thank you so much.

I am also okay if you would want this to be shared with other websites since I no longer use a lot of social media. I am only on here and Tumblr.

ken of mere beasts @pocketdile.bsky.social · 1d

I can give more info by Monday hits because we are setting up funeral arrangements then.
