Summary :
The words of others have nourished, carried, infused their energy and their emotions. Until my brother died on October 14, 2015 in Montreal, I did not see the need to write. Alex's suicide pierced me with grief, also made me madly angry. Because a suicide is the double penalty, the violence of the disappearance generates an embarrassed silence that takes all the place, preventing even remembering the happy days. I didn't want to be silent. Alex was a flamboyant being, he had a beautiful, full, exciting, loving and loved existence. He fought against melancholy, she won. To tell about his courage, to say how happy I was to have him as a brother, seemed vital to me. I did not want to mourn or give in to desolation. I wanted to invent a happy way to be sad. The dead can make us freer, more alive. Olivia de Lambertie.
