Re: Advice

My grandfather died a couple of months ago, and we all suspected he may have, not to put too fine a point on it, helped things along. He'd been sick for a while, he'd outlived his wife, one son and one granddaughter, he was just very tired. (There was also the timing - my aunt found his body the same morning my parents got back from an overseas holiday)
My dad's been cleaning out the house, seeing what can be taken by various family members, what can be sold, what can be donated, all the usual business there. And last week, he found the suicide note my grandfather thoughtfully wrote, then tucked in a random pile of papers in his study.
Dad came home, told my mum, told me, and asked me not to tell my brother - he indicated he wanted to do that himself. Not a huge challenge, in and of itself, as my brother lives in another state and we don't call that often.
Well, it's been a week, as I said, and I really want to talk to my brother, but I have no idea whether Dad's told him yet - he might be waiting until he visits in a few weeks. I've struggled with depression and suicidal ideation for years, and naturally a suicide in the family is messing me up a bit! I would like to be able to talk to my brother!
But Dad's been having a rough time, and I just don't know if I can ask him without him taking it as nagging :c

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss.

Second, I don't know what your relationship with your dad is like obviously, but could you talk to him and see how he's doing and then also take the opportunity to ask about your brother?

I'll try and slip it into conversation over dinner, I think.

If you're close with your father, check in and see how he's doing, but maybe gently remind him that if there's already suspicions that your grandfather helped things along, that it will be better if your brother hears the truth from him and no from some rando.

We're close-ish? He's a bit, uh, emotionally closed off? He has his reasons.
But I think my brother might already have an idea - the circumstantial evidence, which I mentioned above, is already known. Finding the note wasn't a shock, it was just... Emotional? It stirred things back up.
