I haven't been here for a bit, since my son committed suicide on Oct. 9th. I wonder if there is anyone here that can relate to a loss like this?

Thanks,

Lynda

Thank-you!

I didn't lose a son to suicide, I lost my dad. I witnessed his suicide when I was only 12 yrs. old. It is now 40 yrs. later, and it seems like just yesterday. I understand the pain of losing someone, believe me. I was daddy's little girl. I ended up with PTSD because of this, and will be on meds for the rest of my life. I am very sorry to hear about your son.

There is nothing worse than losing a child. So very sorry for your loss.

Notifications said that you quoted me, but I don't see anything here? Am I missing something?

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to suicide and it is very tough. I found that time was the only thing that really helped. It went from being the first and last thing I thought about each day to being the second thing and so on. Now I am finally able to think of him and smile. You are already a step ahead of me though at this point. I let the stigma of suicide keep me from talking in the beginning which is what we need to heal. I was already in therapy and I felt that helped me a lot as well but that may be because I wasn’t taking to anyone else. Still, Something to consider.
