Everyone has faced hardship in their lives, some people more than others. Facing difficult situations head-on allows you to grow into a stronger person. In my 18 years of life, I have faced my fair share of problems that I had to overcome to get to where I am. But the one that changed my life forever had to do with my older brother, Adrian Gross. His death is the reason why I am going to become a psychiatrist. I’m going to make sure I can do my part to help other families not go through this or if they have, get them the help they need. My stepbrother committed suicide on December 4th, 2020. People will never understand why someone feels they are all alone in this world until they are the one who is fighting for a reason to stay alive every day. Leading up to his death, no one saw the signs, and that's one of the hardest things to come to terms with. People blame themselves for it every day, and it's a very sad thing to go through. But blaming yourself doesn't do anything to fix the situation and never will because he will never come back to life. When people see that someone has committed, a lot of the thoughts are, “they were just too weak”, “why didn't they reach out”, “their life isn't that bad” or a very big one is, “I wish I saw the signs so I would have saved their life.”. Every day I used to question my life choices, and wonder if I could have saved him. It put me into a very depressive state of mind and made me have the thoughts he may have had which lead him to pull the trigger. But at the end of the day, he wasn't okay and there may not be anything we could have done to save his life. He was mentally ill and felt that there was no cure for it. Everyone deals with death in different ways and some may not be so good but that's how people cope. The way I have coped with his death was by writing him letters telling him how I feel. Now, I would be lying if I said that I’d gotten over the loss of Adrian and moved on, but what I can say is that I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't had to face such tragedy.
