I'm so sorry too.

I’m so sorry Annie. Such a sad day for you. And sorry for your loss too Joseph.

I am very sorry. It is so hard loosing someone you lover to suicide.

God bless the loved ones who, for many different reasons, had demons which caused them to leave us. It must have been so hard for them too. I understand Annie, the sadness lingers.

I'm sorry, Annie and Joseph.

So sorry Annie and Joseph. Very, very sad, indeed. Many years ago a friend said to me, "Suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem." It made me wonder if he was contemplating or not because it was a comment out of the blue. Unfortunately, some peoples demons aren't as temporary as others. One must be in the darkest of holes to commit such an act. So devastating to the entire family.

I am so sorry Annie and Joe C.

I cannot even imagine how horrible it is to have that happen.

So sorry Annie, how sad.

(((hugs))) for both Annie and Joseph. I'm so sorry for your losses.

I am so sorry for both of your losses.

My sympathy!

I'm so very sorry.

(((Annie)))

I am so very sorry for both of your losses, Annie and Joseph.

So sorry (((HUGS)))

so sorry for those who have lost loved ones to suicide. My brother in law committed suicide in their home. it was a horrible thing for my sister to return home to. Horrible for everyone involved.

Oh. So profoundly sorry. My heart reaches out to you.

Im so sorry, Annie and Joseph. Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of my sister's nephews death. He also would have been 37. After drinking with some other kids, they were playing Chicken with a train. Life altering event for the train engineer, too, who could do nothing but watch it happen. :(

Sympathies to all.

So sorry to both of you, Annie and Joseph.

My sincere condolences to Annie and Joseph.

One of my closest friends lost her husband to suicide last month. She is having a very hard time. I am so sorry Annie.

I am sorry to both you & Joseph as well as anyone else who has lost a loved one to suicide. We lost our beautiful daughter to suicide, it was 6 years on Dec 5th. What got me through it was knowing she was after years of suffering at peace. For years she had suffered with her demons that only got worse. She was just so tired of being on so many pills that made her no better. Liz would have been 52 this year. Loosing a child is the hardest thing a parent can go through.

sabbath, I'm so sorry about your friend's loss. You might have her contact American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It's a very professional nonprofit organization. They have a Survivor Outreach Program (I volunteer with them...all volunteers have lost someone to suicide) where they can have volunteers visit to listen to her story, and they can put her in touch with support services in her area.

I'm so sorry, Mary. My poor Mom lost both her husband (my father) and her son (my brother) to suicide as well. I was always so glad that she passed before my nephew did. He was her only grandchild.

I am so sorry, Annie, Joseph, and Mary. We lost my beloved SIL to suicide in June, 2010. We were all devastated. Every once in a while, her daughter's laugh reminds me of what I miss the most about my SIL.

I'm sorry sherwood for your loss.

Annie you are right, there is a special kind of grief when you loose someone to suicide. When we lost our son I believe a lot of people felt they didn't know what to say.

My sympathies are with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss and for your sadness. Sending hugs your way.

eandhl2, I'm so sorry for your loss.

You're right. There are a lot who feel shame or embarrassment or awkwardness. People want to understand why but they don't understand that we can't know what it was like to be those we've lost, and how much it hurts when others ask...like we are to know...like we are to blame. When people die of heart attack or cancer, no one asks the family why.

Annie - I'm sorry. It's so hard to wrap your head around suicide. My maternal grandmother and my oldest brother both chose that path. Lots of conflicting emotions and family issues to resolve. Sorrow, helplessness, bewilderment, why???

Annie, Joseph and others, I'm very sorry for your losses. I hope you all find peace and healing from your grief. God bless their souls.

So sorry for everyone's losses. Life is so difficult especially when we get left behind. Blessings on you and all their souls.

Seagrass, I'm so sorry for your losses and the extra stress multiple suicides puts on a family. In my case, I really believe that if my Dad hadn't done it, my brother wouldn't've either, and if they both hadn't done it, my nephew wouldn't have either. Somehow the first seems to set out a tacit acceptability for what otherwise mightn't even be under consideration.

So sorry for you all. We lost a nephew many years ago. It was devastating for his young wife and two little kids.

I'm sorry, jak for your loss.

So sorry for everyone who has lost someone to suicide. There's a definite, distinct difference.

I can't imagine the pain for all who have experienced the suicide of a loved one. And those who are gone, I'll bet they were all, and continue to be well loved.

Hugs to you all.

People who felt there was no way to go on.....no solution to their pain. It's very very sad. I wish their burden could have been lifted. No one can know what it is to be in such a place. Bless all the souls who could not remain, and bless those that remain here. This is but a short time and soon we will all be together and understand. Love to all of you who loved and still love.

I always cringe when people say the old adage that God never gives you more than you can handle...oh yes he does. For some of us, he does.

I agree, Annie and Rob. People have the need to say something and it's usually not helpful.

I don't thing anyone can truly understand the depths of despair that a suicidal person feels, unless you have been through it but survived.

I know two people that were in such physical daily pain that that was the only way to end their suffering.

So sorry for all of you who experienced loss to suicide. I have never been able to wrap my head around the fact there are people who feel that death is a better alternative to life. What pain they must have been experiencing. I can’t imagine.

Often mental pain can be as devastating as physical pain too and for some it's so overwhelming that they literally can't find a way out of their suffering.

Both my brother and his only son (my nephew) shot themselves to death. I do know what it's like. Wishing you the comfort only God can provide.

I'm so sorry vicsgirl. It's a hard story to tell, a hard story to live with.

Not suicide but our most beloved 3 year old grandson drown on this date several years ago. 12-01-01 * 1-18-05 My dad passed out abt 12 hours later. Eight days later my dad passed away. (Causes of their deaths were unrelated.) I quickly found out among other things, grief can make a person physically sick!!!

One way, I found help coping with sudden death was learning about the many phases of non-relenting grief was by reading the following book which includes suicide.

I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye: Surviving, Coping and Healing After the Death of a Loved One by Brook Noel

Condolences to all of you who have suffered and are suffering still this special kind of pain.
