Anyone Lost a Parent/loved One to Suicide? Posted: 02-06-06 16:06pm
I was just wondering if anyone has ever
lost anyone they were close to-to suicide?
I lost my dad a few months ago to
suicide, and he was my best friend and the
only person that I told everything to and
the only one who made my life great. He
always had the right things to say and
always made me happy. I just wanted to
post this question because its not a topic
on the website, if you look up suicide on
here.....It comes up with abortion stuff.
I just wanted to know I guess how you all
are doing because I know its the hardest
thing in the world. Also, grieving is
not all that easy too. I am only 20 some
years old and I have had to deal with
tough issues but nothing like this. It
is sometimes hard too because I was the
one who came home from college the day he
did it and I was the one who found him.
I'm okay right now but I was definitly
depressed weeks after it. And one more
thing--my mom is already dating people and
going on weekend trips with different
men--call me "old fashioned" or
traditional but I think that is just wrong
(b/c its just too soon)and I really don't
talk to her as much but I never really was
close with her to begin with since I
always told my dad everything.
Anyways, ill stop rambling but I was just
curious about how you all are doing and
how you grieve because I never really talk
about it with anyone.

Hi "collegegirl3" firstly I want to say
how sorry iam to hear about your dad, I
cant imagine what you must be going
through.
My friend also found her dad when he
commited suicide. She too went through a
pretty rough time. Her mum had moved on
at time of her dads suicide due to the
break up but my friend too found this
disturbing at times, his name was also the
same as her fathers which added an extra
sting to it.
Please find someone to talk about this
with, help share the load alittle.
Your in my prays

Thank you for your comment, that was so
sweet of you to comment on my topic and
tell me about your friend. I do talk
about it once in awhile with people, but I
try to just avoid the subject. Anyways,
thank you again so very much! Take
care!

I know exactly how you feel. My Dad
commited suicide 17 months & 1 day ago
today. I heard that sometimes the 2 nd yr.
is the hardest, & that is proving to
be true! Like you ,my Dad was my best
friend & I could talk to him about
anything. I miss Him SOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! I
want him back so bad I can't stand it!!!!!
I haven't been to the cemetary in months
because I want to avoid the "break-down".
I STILL can't believe he's gone!! I will
be 40 on Sept.3 & it is still hard for
me! You're so young, Ifeel for you!

Whenever you need to "talk" write me. I'm
having a REAL problem dealing w/this! I
dround myself in beer & wine to escape
the awfull pain. I'm sure my husband
doesn't understand that.......But he's
never lost a parent........especially like
I have!~ Take care of yourself....&
remember, it had NOTHING to do w/you!!!!
AND your Dad IS in heavan. Write me back
& tell me how He did it. My Dad used a
gun.
