    All I can say is that my deepest condolences and my heart goes out to the ENTIRE family. I will not say "I hope you find peace", there is none to be found, all you can do is be thankful that his struggle is over o will not say "he's in a better place", his "place" is at home with his loved ones. I will not say "in time it gets easier" that is a flat out boldfaced lie, however, in time you will be able to "walk around it". I speak from nothing but direct experience... Nick DiBona was/IS/will always be, my baby brother... this struggle affects us all. It consumes every single person involved with the one afflicted. Much love to you and yours
