Hi my name is Leah Bryant and I am Nathan's older sister... you know since his untimely death I have yet to mourn my brother passed away 5 years ago and I truly miss him my mom is currently volunteering with the
Didi Hirsh
center and with span and with the American association of Suicidology I am sorry if I misspelled it
I recently thought of taking my life and was told by my mother to call the suicide crisis line I wanted to say that they helped me
a lot they taught me that I am a beautiful person and that I have something to live for although I couldn't help my brother but I felt that they helped me you know when I found my brother it was the hardest thing that I had ever been through I was in so much shock I really don't think I even remembered what was going on all I knew was that I was hurting that I felt sick and that I had lost someone close to me that meant everything in the world to me I wanted to tell you guys that seeing my little brothers picture on your website knowing that he is living on through the memories of my family and myself has helped in ways you could never imagine it feels good to know that he lives on and that maybe what happened to him wont happen to anyone else I understand that people commit suicide and I understand that it is wrong and that there are other ways of dealing with your problems and I would just like to say that I appreciate what you guys are doing and how you guys are helping other families and people who are thinking that suicide is the only way out my mother ester Bryant helps by doing seminars
TV interviews and high schools and I would just like to know if there is anything I can do to help maybe I can volunteer in my community... sincerely Leah Bryant
"THE FINAL HOUR"
a young man with so much love to give
a young heart that could not find the will to live
my brother decided death was the only way out
he considered suicide without a doubt
his young brain started thinking what method to use
then finally he said carbon monoxide will do
his life was great, although he never had dates
his mind was all honors, his heart was always giving
how did he get to that final day
when he decided to give his life away
in that final hour, at that final time
he decided that his life should be no more
he closed the doors, and sealed the cracks
he started the guy, and laid flat on his back
my brother inhaled all the fumes tell his lungs did collapse
and his last breath finally left
my brother was dead there was no time for goodbye
he was just tired of living, he wanted to die
in his final moments he thought to himself
what would I tell my family if I had one last chance
he'd say mom I'm sorry I love you a lot,
he'd say please forgive me this wasn't your fault,
I was dealing with things I could not express,
I was dealing with things that I have now put to rest
he'd say I'm sorry for all the pain I caused
because my heart just could not go on...
