    Here's how I deal with it

    I have become used to death. In January 1992, I was asleep in my bedroom when I was awoken by a loud noise. I went across the hall and opened my brother's bedroom door to ask if he had heard something. He had blown his head off with his gun. I can still see that scene even today. In February...
