On June 16th my brother took his own life because of his narcissistic GF…our whole family is still in shock and disbelief that he would do that. Some of us have had our own struggles fall úpon us recently and we're having a hard time coming up with the money to get him cremated. Our family really wants to see him one last time to say our goodbyes as we obviously didn't get a chance too before he died. We got him to a funeral home but they want all the money up front before they will do anything or make any arrangements. We have 45 days from the date of death to either creamate or embalm him…if it gets to the 45 day mark they will just creamate him and we won't get to say our goodbyes. Michael is the 2nd born of 8 kids and our mother is not doing well health wise and all she wants is to say goodbye to her son. We need all the help we can get to say goodbye…Michael was loved by everyone and it's a tragedy that he took his life so soon. There hasn't been a day gone by since that I haven't cried cus he's gone but It still don't seem real to me it hasn't fully hit me I still expect him to just show up one day like he always did just to say hi or whatever…he deserves so much more than to just be stuck in that funeral home waiting to be cremated. He deserves to have his family be able to see him and say goodbye and tell him how much we love him and miss him. We would be forever grateful to anyone that can find it in there heart to help us say goodbye to him…or point us in the direction of any programs or grants or anything that can help…please PLEASE help us say goodbye to our son, brother, Father and friend
