how do i help him understand

my little brother has been suffering from depression since my grandmother died a few years ago. it started with him not sleeping at night and has now progressed into a OCD condition. he is always been hard on himself. it seems like in the past few years he has gotten worse. i am always worried abotu him. i dont want him to make the same mistakes i did in school. he keeps blaming himself about my grandmothers death. he feels that if he stayed a few days longer than maybe he could have done something. this is the same way i feel. it has taken me years of therphy to understand that it is not my fault. i jsut wish that he could understand that there is nothing that anyone could have done to help her. it was her time to go. anyone have any suggestions???????

I wish I could tell ya babe, I still have a hard time putting some things behind me that are REALLT not my fault. Good luck to you, and your brother, and your family.

BTW - How are you and Jason?
