my daughters boyfriend committed suicide last year and she is having a really tough time getting over it. I was hoping that there was a community or some people out there that she could communicate with.

She is certainly welcome here. This site is full of people that are very understanding and are always willing to listen. Tell her to give it a try. We would love to meet her. :0)

I know what she must feel. My husband hanged himself 6 weeks ago and I'm at a loss for what to do next. What am I supposed to do now? I have two boys, 13 and 7, and all I know is to keep being a mom to them and God will have to do the rest.

This website is the best form of group support I have found, ever. But it might also be helpful for your daughter to find a group she can meet with face to face, as well as this one. Your county mental health facility should be able to direct you to any in your area, or "google" "support groups" and see if you can find any National Mental Health organizations -MAMBA, I think, is one of them- that can help you locate a local group.
This site is great, because the people understand, you are encouraged and encouraged to respond, and you can "go to group" whenever it is convenient for you. Have your daughter give this a try, if she is at all willing. I highly recommend it.

BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
