It's been just over 8 months now since I lost my daughter to suicide, thought I was coping ok until recently but I am a mess. Other people have told me only time will make things a bit better, I just feel that time is making things worse, has anyone been here?
RE: Suicide Loss
I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's been 4 1/2 years since I lost my only son. I just don't feel qualified to answer your question. But I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
All my love,
Vicki
RE: Suicide Loss
Have these other people lost thier child? I guess not or the would not say anything so stupid.......Time makes us realize that we have to cope and we shall never find all the answers to our questions WE learn to live with our loss/losses some days/weeks/mths are worse than others but if we look hard enough we learn to notice that Time does pass quickley and is too short to listen to others say Time will make things better..x

RE: Suicide Loss
I lost my brother to suicide four years ago, my mum was an utter mess for what seemed a long time, and she still crys everyday, but she tells me the tears are becasue she misses him, and in time the heart ache and the physical pain you have will go. You never stop missing them and never stop hurting but you begin to cope with the grief.
I hope this helps, my thoughts are with you.
Take Care

RE: Suicide Loss
Thanks Elka, yes every little bit of support is helping at the moment. My problem is that I usually deal with situations head on but losing Melissa cannot be dealt with in this way and at times I feel so out of control, feeling a little better today, hope it lasts,
Regards, Jean
RE: Suicide Loss
i lost my son to suicide last july,like you i am still finding it hard to deal with every thing that come your way after someone as taken there life.
my son lost his home his wife and his children after his wife had an affair.
he just couldnt cope with the pain even though he had support from true friends and family.
i am struggling with the injustice of it all not only have have i lost my son i have lost my three grandchildren who i cant have cotact with.
like you people say time is a healer but i also seem to be struggling more and more especially with the anger side of grief.
my heart goes out to you and all those who are going through the same pain.
regards Linda

Re. Suicide Loss,
It is now two years and eighteen mon. since my son Dorian took his own life , He was 25 years old. Life has not been the same
There is no easy way to eradicate the pain of grieving. Only you now how long it will take. Take one day at the time.
Thinking of you , and your daughter Dorian's mother
RE: Suicide Loss
Thanks to Linda and Mariea for your support, hearing about other peoples experiences reminds me that I am not alone, One thing I do know is that sudden death of this nature can rip families apart. I'm trying to find the strength to foresee a future with or without the support of other family members, aiming to get back to work to see if that will help, I can only try, take care of yourselves,
Kind Regards,
Jean,x
