Lost a family member to suicide yesterday

I’ve almost been successful a few times in the past, I understand what it takes to get to that point where life becomes too much, but when it claims the life of someone I love…all I know is my heart hurts like nothing I’ve known.

I know it doesn’t help any, but I’m sorry for your loss.

Can I ask who he or she was to you?

It was my nephew.

I am so sorry for your loss. Whatever you do, don’t take your own life. Maybe you should see some kind of counselor who specializes in tragedy and grief.

I’m sorry for your loss, a Marine from my platoon took his life due to survivors remorse and PTSD. It’s a terrible feeling. It gets better in time, have you considered talking to a therapist?

I send you my condolences to your loss. Please take care of yourself.

I lost my best friend to suicide about five years ago. I know it’s hard.

Take care. Much love sent to you and your family.

It’s the greatest fear of those of us who are afflicted with this disease for your son, daughter, nephew, or niece to have it and if the disorder caused you to attempt to take your own life as i also have the fear is even greater. I have nieces myself and I sometimes fear that will happen to them as well. I am sorry for your loss and hope that if you have any other such relatives left they remain unscathed by the tragedy of this illness or the possibility of suicide. It’s not your fault that you became ill and it’s not your fault that your nephew killed himself and I hope you remember the good times you had with him before he died.

@Csummers I am so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to you and your family. You and your family members should consider grief counseling or a grief support group.

My best friend’s brother committed suicide several years ago. My friend went to both private counseling as well as attended a grief support group that was specifically for people who have lost a loved one to suicide. She found this support immensely helpful.

Take care. :purple_heart:

It’s really difficult to lose someone, even more so when they were desperate enough to take their own life. So sorry for your and your family’s loss and grief.
Praying for healing and peace for you and them :heart:
