Hello - I'm sitting here at 10PM missing the heck out of my only child Michael.  How could this be happening?  It still so hard to grasp that I won't see, hear or touch my boy in this life again.  There are times (so many) that I just want to be with him.  I know not to act on it but the yearning to be with him is so very intense.

I'm grateful to have such brave and honest people to share my sadness with.  Peace and hugs to you.

Rj and Connie - hope you are getting through the days and nights with peaceful and loving thoughts of your precious children.

I also spoke to a medium who I connected through the prayer registry for parents who have lost a child. Her name is Susan Sanderford and her web site is susansanderson.com. She is a remarkable medium. Whenever I fall down in the pit I replay my reading and once again know Kyra is with me and I will see her again. My husband is getting better since having a triple hernia operation on the 6th. I just want our lives to go through a trauma-free period. Love to everyone here I don't think I would have survived without this group.

I do know that God doesn't WANT to condemn anyone.. and gives us every possible chance to repent... like the thief on the cross next to Jesus... and He loves the 'brokenhearted' which must certainly include those desperate enough to contemplate or commit suicide... so I don't know... when does the 'forgiving' part stop happening... is it too late for someone who commits suicide... and then there's the part that says we have a time to die... so if its not our time to die would suicide be possible? I don't know these things... but I do know that God loves those who are looked upon as 'less' in this world.. both my sons have/had severe CP and I have worked with others with that condition as well... it is an extremely difficult life for them... that's all I know...

as for whether or not its a sin... what difference does that make? We all sin and come up short.. every day in some small way.. or BIG way.. even if its only to think a bad thought about someone else.. that is in God's eyes a sin.. just the THOUGHT of commiting a sin can be the same as doing it .. because you have done it in your mind... Matthew 5 : 21-28  says this. And because of this we all need the forgiveness for sin regardless of when we sin and what sin it is... none of us will die without ever sinning again.. does it matter if its at the point of death that we sin as opposed to a minute before or a year before we die? That is a question I can't know the answer to for sure... but if Christ died for ALL sins.. which sins don't 'qualify' for that covering?

I don't want to add to your pain Sheri, but i think the idea that people that commit suicide are 'selfish' is just the 'party line' so to speak.. ask people who have survived suicide attempts how they feel... not the people left behind who are after all still alive and NOT suicidal.... its the same thing.. unless you have been at the point of suicide yourself, or have made an attempt, you don't know how totally bereft that person has to be to get to that point.. to call them selfish is just a way to divert the blame to the one who can no longer defend themselves.. and probably wouldn't even TRY to defend themselves if they could because they are so totally unable to function emotionally.. if the people left behind are devastated, think how much more devastated someone has to be to get to the point where they can't stand to live anymore... don't just say they are selfish... just like you wouldn't tell a mourning parent that they should 'just get on with your life' .. if you haven't been suicidal or made an attempt at suicide do NOT judge what those people go through..

We are here to support one another, not to judge anyone.

Sheri, my only child died by suicide. He was not selfish nor a sinner. He was and will always be my shining star. He git lost in his mind and could not find his way back. I Will always grieve my son, larry and miss him terribly but as connie says...we are survivors and our pain and grief is real but we must continue on this path of healing. It doesnt matter how they haved died it is the fact that they are gone and it is awful.

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
