At 0900 on the 23rd of September, my younger brother Sharad jumped from the Tyne bridge in Newcastle. I will write more details when I am in a better state and have recovered fully from this devastating experience.
I am writing this post from India where I have spent the last few days sending the ashes into the Ganges river and conducting the hindu rituals to cleanse Sharads (an our) souls for the future.
The day of the ceremony was very special and was a once in a 300year Solar eclipse which is normally a bad sign in Hindu beliefs but this one was a very special one. The hindu funeral cereomnies completed on the 13th day of the death (yesterday).
I saw my mother for the first time in 11 years, which was a necessary and strong experience. Now I am ready to move forward and have taken from Sharad's spirit. He was a wonderful person and everyone loved him.
He completed his own life the way he had lived it, full, determined, brutal. It has been a sick, painful, gruesome experience finding out the details of his death. From the recent events, the actual death and the family history that all came to light.
But let me tell you that I am stronger than I have ever been, calmer and more confident, more spiritual and positive. My young brothers life and death have given me the strength to do what I must do in my life and for this I am glad.
Please email me with any photos or other content you might have from Sharad to pras@social-computer.com
