    • Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide

      Last month my husband decided to end his life. I believe he took an overdose of a combo of different pills. We are still waiting for the exact determination. I know in my heart that he committed suicide. The kids are still waiting to hear the determination. It will hurt me for them to know the truth. I know they have their suspicions. They have anger, as do I. Unfortunately we did not have the best relationship and I had just left him the night I think he did this. I do not want to bllame myself because it was his choice to do this. I keep pushing this thought from my head. Unlike others, and I feel bad about this, but I feel a sense of relief. There is no longer verbal abuse and arguments. But he didnt have to do this!
