A long time family friend was found deceased in the woods surrounding the park where he went to play basketball.  The circumstances and the scene leave nothing but questions. He was only in his early 30's and was loved by many.  The tragedy is that he felt that he had no friends.  No matter if it was murder, suicide or a terrible accident, it is a horrible loss.  I hurt so bad for his family.  I know that they are now starting this terrible grief journey where only God can help them.  I and his family look forward to the promises found in the Holy Scriptures.

(John 5:28, 29) . . .Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out. . .

See you soon my young friend. . .

today i learned that a friend of 30 years took her life this week. I felt shock and helplessness since im 9,000 miles away from the city where we lived

i wont be there for the memorial or the estate sale of her things by her sisters. I feel so remote from the events there.

All i can do is send my emails, and give them my thoughts and feelings

 

Just wish I could be there now

It has been almost a year and a half since I lost two friends to a long battle with eating disorders, finally culminating in suicide. Although I witnessed a slow decline in the health of both friends, their deaths were not any less devastating. Immediately afterwards I fought with many emotions including shock, denial, disgust, anger, guilt and severe depression. Although those feelings grew less intense, they still plague me. Saint Patricks Day is today; it would have been my best friend Chrisi's 26th birthday, and Christine's is only a couple weeks away as well. This time of year, it feels as if an old wound is reopening and the pain is intense like I just lost Chrisi and Christine. In these times I feel abandoned, and alone. There is so much that I never got to say... It feels like I am stuck in the past. But I know that I can never go back and do things differently, and even if I could, it might not change what happened. You can never go back. You can only go forward.

I lost my first husband to suicide 15 years ago this last April.  We had been married for 17 years.  He shot himself in front of me.  All i could think about was what did i do wrong for years.  I am and have been in therapy for 15 years and it helps but the nightmares still exist!

Chaille,

First of all I want to say that I am so sorry that you have to go through something like this, especially when this is supposed to be one of the happiest times in your life. I am also sorry if what I say after this point offends you in any way. What happened is NOT your fault in any way. In my opinion, you and your baby are the victims of what happened. It sounds like he made a rash decision, and did not think anything through. It is not fair to you or your child, and for his family to blame you in any way is nonsense. The most important thing for you to do is to not blame yourself or your child. The baby that you are carrying is innocent and depends on you to take care of yourself and her/him. I wish the best for you and your baby, and I hope that he/she never feels like it was his/her fault for what happened. If you need to talk, I am here.

My name is annie im 23 my fiancée passed away of a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head after three weeks in a coma, my 2 children and myself where home when he did it. he was very depressed and drank alot to help with that, he had always mentioned things about killing himself but i guess i never thought he would really do ithe was only 27 years old he would be 28 on the 27th of this month, he passed away april 12th of this year. I know its all still fresh not even being 2 months yet, I cant help but feel like it is getting harder to deal with and all the unanswered questions. I havent had any closer with a funeral or anything since his family placed all the blame on me saying I should have seen this coming and been able to stop it. I know i could never have stoped him and it wasnt my fault but i still just dont understand. This is a very hush hush thing with my family and none of my friends understand so i never get to talk about this or how i handle it, so if my postes are long im sorry. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to do to help to help with this feeling of being stuck in place and feeling guilty about continuing my life with out him like going out with friends or anything to have a good time. thanks

My beloved common law wife of over 16 years committed suicide on April 20th, 2011.  I was 1800 miles away when it happened and took 3 days to drive my truck back from California.  While I cannot tell you the specific reason she killed herself, I can tell you she tried many times over the course of our relationship because she suffered from a disease called Huntington's. She watched her father die from the same disease and said many times she would not let the disease ravage her body and mind the way it did her fathers. In the end she was tired of the daily pain this disease brought her and her symptoms were getting worse.  I did not want her to go and I am now a lonely person because of it.

My wife killed herself in a hotel room at some point in the beginning of February.  The police came and told me the news on February 4th.  All she'd told me was that she was going to go away to sort some things out, which she'd done once before.  I'd known she was depressed and upset about some of her circumstances, but I didn't know she'd decided to kill herself, or that she'd been looking into  it seriously for the last two years.  I think what's hardest right now is the plethora of questions that'll likely never get answered.

My cousin shot his ex girlfriend and killed her, then killed himself. We still don't know what happened, or why he did it. It has been almost 3 years, and I just now stopped being mad at him. I feel so bad for his ex's family, and I have wanted to contact them since it happened, but I don't know what to say. They were mad at us at first, which I expected. Her mom isn't even mad at him anymore, but still mourns for her daughter. I gave them a card when it first happened, but I feel like I need to say something. I loved her, and I worked with her brother and sister for a while, so I feel like I have neglected them. I miss my cousin so much. He was always the life of the party. He made everyone laugh, and I didn't know he was depressed until a few months before he did what he did. I wish that I would have talked to him about it. I know that I couldn't have changed anything, but I wonder if even just a few words would have helped him. What hurts the most is that we don't know if he planned it, or if it just happened. I wish I could hug him one more time, and I wish that she didn't get hurt. I wish that her family still had her. I also worry that he will be in hell for eternity. I know that he will, so that means that I will never see him again. I wish that he would have talked to us, so that we could help him get better.
