My son suicided 5 weeks ago
My eldest son,Danny, hung himself 5 weeks ago. I found him in his workshop that we built for him. He had never attempted suicide before and did not leave a note. My husband and I are in therapy and are going to a suicide survivors group. At this point all I feel is a paralyzing sadness. I don't know how to live without my son..I don't know how to do this at all! Marie

7. I am so very sorry to hear of this painful loss.
Suicides are so hard, because they leave the survivors with so many unanswered questions. I am glad you're getting the help and support that you need, both privately and in group. These people will be your lifeline to sanity.

And, we're here for you, too. :hug:

12. Hi pecwae,
I'm doing okay, today. Tuesday would have been Danny's 34th birthday. We had a Shamen out to the house to do a healing ceremony and to celebrate his life. Of course I still want my baby back but she really helped {for now anyway}
peace and love,

14. I Am So Sorry
This is my first visit to this forum and my eyes focused on the title of your thread. Suicide is such a hard death to deal with. My husband's brother committed suicide on December 16, 2004. We still have a hard time this time of year. Losing a son must be more painful than what I can imagine. I am so sorry.

15. Thank you Irishonly
It is difficult beyond belief. I always said if something happened to one of my boys, that
I would die, but here I am, 3 months later. Not that I want to be mind you, I just don't have a choice. Many nights I have "prayed" that I wouldn't wake up but wake up I do. My youngest son {31} told me if I do what his brother did he will never forgive me. And I have made him promise the same. So we all cling to each other and do the best we can.
I am so sorry aabout your brother-in-law. May he rest in peace.
