Chazzy was also my best friend, we talked all the time and went through absolutely everything together, there wasnt anything we didnt talk about. Im sorry youre going through this too. My dad had planned this as he reached out to several people weeks before he did it and told them to take care of my mom and I if something ever happened to him. He was such a good boy. He may be at peace but today I have none. Five hours later my husband and I found him hanging in an old barn. It was our busiest week of the year at the business and she carried out her daily routine as usual, then snuck out the back while I was distracted with group of customers, turned off her cell phone so I couldnt track her, went straight to the pharmacy, and took the pills.

He also had drug use problems we did not know fully, i should have known. Brian January 12, 2020 at 12:57 am Reply. Um my best friend for 9 years is probably the most suicidal person I know, the cutting got to the point where she could accidentally commit, shes in a mental hospital right now for a month I miss her so much I dont even know if this is gonna help her. The pain has been so bad that at times it takes my breath away. I never knew what pain meant until I lost my brother. My heart is broken and I dont think it will ever heal! Which I can NEVER belittle her. I miss talking to him and sharing our love for 80s rock and roll. I have been tormented, stalked, and blamed by my late Fiances friends and family.

But his despair was strong as was his wish to die. Thanks for sharing, makes me feel better! They were supposed to be dead. He had just got back from officer development school for 5 wks. Maybe his death will haunt them more as they age, and presumably approach their own mortality.

He was talking about how he was having thoughts that morning and I was going to go over to my parents house to help him, but he told me not to come. My best friend took away his life in the 9 of July 2020. He was supposedly intoxicated at the time and beside him they found his bible and three letters to me. Not sure if my gestures to reach out will be welcome and with the grief Im already feeling for the loss of my brother Im not even sure Im even able to be supportive. He chose to leave me and the people he loved that day and that has always been the hardest part for me. He had never once mentioned suicidal thoughts, or even his depression. It is also hard for me to understand that I was not enough to have saved him. He had 7 weeks without anything at all If my mam hadn't just retired I honestly believe he would have killed himself. That, god, I need him back. I feel your pain Ive lived it and still do. And Im imagining what a beautiful love we had, and how we should have been together. The phrases recommended above are actually some of the language being suggested by advocacy and mental health organizations to the media, mental health professionals, and the larger society for discussing death from suicide. For a week she searched and texted and found nothing! My son berth day same as your son ,we are going to celebrate his 30 in 2019. i have a terrrible temper and i simply wanted him to sober up. He is dead gone from this life and my heart is broken. for awhile yes. The physical pain is real. We fought often but I felt I was fighting another side, the ill side. When Im ready to start really getting painfully honest with myself, Ill begin to heal. I was not of an age to have any obligations as a result of his death but the heartbreak otherwise was the same. If you know a child, or adult for that matter, struggling with these concerns, dont immediately disregard their worries. Its like theyre afraid theyll catch something. I as a studying therapist have always had faith our mental health system was working on getting better now its hard for me to trust at all. Sure was funny as hell to see the look of suprised bewilderment on his face. Funny thing is that. not at all. My dad shot himself dec 22 2020. I want to embrace you and help you because I feel so touched. Dear loved one: I have no answers for you; I wish I did. And I often connect these strange thoughts to what he might have been feeling or battling at the time. I honestly didnt know what was the kinder thing to do help her to want to live, or be complicit in what I suspected her actions would be. nothing makes sense to me. I bought books about it none really help. Hello, I am also able to relate to this post, my friend was talking to me over social media when he killed himself 16 months ago now. Its a terrible thing to have to live through and no amount of time will ever heal me from this damage that He left inside. Its tragic, and it doesnt seem like its my new reality but I know that it is. Anyway, I am so torn up over this and cant live with myself if this is my fault. It is also okay not to feel angry. Then something came over me, a felt a weird feeling of dread that something was really off. The thought that he is no longer physically present in this world is too unbearable to imagine. We both had unhealthy previous marriages. Dont even know why I post this, even after months it feels like nothing and nobody can help me. I helped him move into an apartment, continued taking him to his appts, started attending AA again, and we mutually divorced. Michelle Wisdom June 14, 2016 at 6:56 am Reply, I lost a spouse to suicide. I had been raising his two children since there mothers passed. I dont know how to get out of this sad rut Im in. I have his 25th birthday is 3/21 and then the anniversary of his death. Grieve your way at your pace! I have said the many what ifs. Im devastated. About a year later and a whole lot of other issues (oldest came out as transgender amongst them) I had an epiphany: what good does it due to be angry with a dead man.? Can I kindly ask if you know which books helped you? After all i decide to invite my sister that she lives in Santorini, Greece to visit me in Toronto.. i was wandering to ask them to stay and live with me in Toronto and live the island (Santorini) for ever Their lifes at the island was dedicated to nothing else other than work summer time they never had the time to check the sea how it was or drink a coffee like family or having any diner all together because of the pressure for the work (no choice)..!! Thank you. I understand why people kill themselves. When I had my husband I had his support, now I dont have my brother to help me with my husbands loss. Now I have an 11 week old son. She sent years self medicating to numb her pain. My biggest thing is we all knew she was struggling with the pregnancy and did what we thought was everything in our power to help her. Cindy Zagorski January 20, 2018 at 1:57 am Reply. He promised to always be here with me and for me and he broke that promise because he was fighting a battle he could not win.

Jessica0301 May 3, 2022 at 12:41 pm Reply, My kids father took his own life, he was living in another state and here and there he started to come around to actually be in my daughters lives, this happen two years ago in February 20,2020 and till this day I cry and cry when Im alone because he was happily married and I will never understand why did he decided to throw himself in Des Moines Iowa River. I had post-traumatic stress reactions as a result of his abuse and so now I just feel free now that hes not here. Today was the day my brother killed himself. my hubby says with his death his heart has also gone completely and he finds it hard to love or reach out now it seems to me that his brother was the kind side if him and now hes gone theres no reason to be kind anymorehubbby was beaten to a pulp regularly as a child by his dad.why should he I understand but am frightened by the emotions and am helpless to find solutions for hubby or family.. Do sayShe died by suicide or She took her life. She had been planning on jumping in front of a truck, but when she saw a police car coming up the ramp she retreated to her car to avoid looking suspicious (she later confided in me). He will forever be my best friend, my co-coffee addict, my partner. I want to talk to him about COVID, about all the places I can drive now with my license, tell him about my job, and how Tom Bradys the GOAT. I just want to find him and get him the help he needs before I post his story here in the comment section too. I am profoundly sorry of your loss. He too suffered a damaging childhood that he never seemed to recover from. I just want to know why. My small family has been shattered and will never be the same.

As I go through a grief share program at church- I realize that no one is immune to the pain of any ones death but especially by suicide as it seems like they chose to leave us. Please get help!!!!!! They sent someone to the house to speak with her and to assess whether they could 302 her. Hi Aaron. Didnt stop him from being awesome. Required fields are marked *. When the deceased is connected to the bereaved through genetics, especially in the instance of a child grieving a parents suicide death, the living family member(s) may worry that they too will develop mental illness and someday decide to kill themselves. But she still died by suicide. I was entirely stunned, and I have been crying and preoccupied every day, and waking at night thinking about him. He knew he needed to change and he was trying to. I will never stop missing him, longing for him. Was I so busy being mad at him that I didnt see he needed help? I lost my common law partner to suicide 5 months ago and I miss him so. I didn't even know these statistics until my Dad. Weve talked about this and many apologies have come from all of this and yet I still often found myself either lecturing or complaining in some manipulative way, this includes the day my brother died. He had no idea what to say. Ive been studying narcissism for years trying to make sense of him and of us, and the bottom line is, I have to accept this was the inevitable outcome of a lot of factors, some his fault, some not. My brother took his life on 03.01.19. It is like trying to explain living on Jupiter Ya just cant do it. Cristina April 7, 2019 at 3:54 pm Reply. It effected my family, my kid, my relationship, my sex life and sunk me way deeper into depression. We lost our son and the amount of support has been nil. Katie, I read your comment and I can imagine how you feel. I know in my heart that my sister would still be here today to raise her beautiful young daughter and live a full life had she not been filled with ridiculous shame and led to believe the ignorant stigmatization surrounding mental illness. My boyfriend of nine years died by suicide only 7 weeks ago. The people that I know that knew him only knew him a little better then I did, as we all belonged to a MeetUp group. We rallied around her and prayed that she would outgrow this and that it was part of the normal teenage angst. We feel guilty for not checking sooner although everything written says not our fault I dont know how we get past this. The whole situation is really getting me down what can I do. I love him and I think about him from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed as well. Happiest guy ever with a great family. I feel sad for her still to this day. Also for those wondering, from what I got out of him he never touched a kid and he did admit to seeing cp once. Since my father died i cant share to others what happened to my father because i will cry so that i dont want to talk about it. Its hard to watch a loved one go through that, but at the end of the day, all of it has its place in life. Maybe your relationship with your dad is strained, but that doesnt mean your feelings toward him are lacking relationships are always complicated, and its okay to be angry or spiteful toward him; its okay to still be upset that he is sick while still being angry and distant; its okay to not be all too bummed out about it, too. I felt I couldnt deal with his anger, so we didnt see each other for a year. I am devastated. I cant breathe and I feel so lost . I am currently going through some of the challenges he had when he was alive. My 21 year old sister jumped off a bridge September 2020. Yet I wont let it break me. My brother jumped from beachy head 2 years ago. They need you. It has been one month since my brother passed away with only 28 years of life. It had gotten to the point where she wasnt the same old friend anymore. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Be strong and find your very own way to grieve. I walked straight into my sons room to see if he was awake and he looked like he was asleep, I went over to him because he wasnt covered up like he normally does. The only reason I haven't killed myself is because my moms had a hard enough life I can't hurt her and she would never recover. I dont know if being angry at other people counts cause God knows the anger I feel being told I need to move past it and live my life..like Ive just been waiting for someone to tell me that and now Ill be all better.

I hope you feel the love that I am sending you. On 1/3/2023, she left the house, seemingly normal, to go to a therapist appointment. I personally dont think she would have done that. In reference to the other comments above, I use the phrase died by suicide most often. I walk through life like nothing is wrong, but inside I am so crushed, and forever will be. My sister didnt want me around when I was at my lowest because it made her feel uncomfortable and it hurt but I got better without her and now she has regrets but Im not a monster so I forgave her. A have regret is that I didnt take any photos of him at Thanksgiving. Her husband could not cope, especially because their daughter was 4 when my friend tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose. He opted out of his breathing machine because he said he had had enough of the pain, and since there is currently no cure for ALS, he chose even the day he was to take his mask off. The year before he died he was studying nursing. that ones important cuz I lost 30 pounds before I figured that one out. Im depressed too and you put into words exactly how Im feeling.
