It has been 18 months since my true love and great friend's death, he took his own life by walking the train tracks after a long battle with mental Illness, I have my good days and my bad days and today is a rough day were I just wish he was here with me and I keep finding myself down and crying. I have so many regrets and unanswered questions and the what ifs is the worst.  I keep asking myself could I have prevented this? Would he still be here with me if I just told him how much I loved and cared for him. My family was and is supportive but they don't understand my anxiety with trains and how I can't stand to see a train go over the tracks were he took his life, and the images of seeing the train stopped that day and all of the first responders before I found out it was John are stuck in my head and I just wish I had someone to talk to who understood.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I am so glad you came here and let us know about John and your pain.  I'm sure it is hard to put into words your experience of loss and suffering.  Be gentle with yourself.  It is understandable that trains can be a trigger for you.  Perhaps someone outside of your family, a good friend can listen to you. BUT you always have us to come back to share. That is what the online grief support is set up for I believe.  We are a caring group.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
