It sounds like if her brother did not stop her, she would not commit suicide...she would ALMOST commit suicide. The word "stopping" is also the wrong tense.
She would have committed suicide had her brother not stopped her.
She almost committed suicide, but her brother stopped her.
Those sound better to me.
