Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildMy 19 year old son committed suicide 9-24-2008. I'm just trying to find my way through this horrible experience without losing what's left of my sanity. I thought maybe others who have been through this could help me. I'm truly lost.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I seem to cry all the time, but I seem to feel a little better after a good cry
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- Keeps my mind occupied, less chance to think about it
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- I went once to speak with someone through my job. Was a little helpful.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- I've read 2 books on suicide, just trying to find answers that don't exist
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I enjoy talking about my son. He was a funny kid & it helps to remember that
Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide
On September 24, 2008, I came home from work to find my son Bryan dead in his car in our garage. He was 19. How could he have chosen to end his life? How could he leave us. We surely must have been some horrible parents for him to do this. I'm just trying to make some kind of sense out of a senseless act.
