I just remembered....

Several people on here tonight have given me condolences about the loss of my oldest son, Isaac, to suicide on 9/17/05.

I usually get maybe one or two in a week or two, but tonight there have been several....and I was just telling another friend that, when I remembered, a year before he died, on Nov. 4, he fell and broke his heel in 6 places. I always thought it was a suicide attempt, but he would never admit it. His story just didnt add up.

PLEASE DONT TORTURE YOURSELF!! THESE ARE THINGS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU SEE HIM AGAIN. LET YOUR HEART BELIEVE WHAT HE TOLD YOU, YOU DONT NEED THE ADDED STRESS OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN.
LOVE AND HUGS

I am truly sorry for your loss. To loose a son and not really know what happened must be torture. Try to rest on the fact that God knows what happen and he will look out for you son. If it was suicide he will forgive and if it was something else he will have carried him home. Get some strength in the fact you are not along. We all care here. You will be in my prayers today.

I'm no one to give advice on how to get through today. My one month mark without my boyfriend is this Wednesday. All I do is say that I care and I will be praying for you to have strength and peace.

God bless you on this anniversary date of your dear son. I agree with Dylansmom; don't torture yourself. When we lose someone to suicide we have so many what if's and what could I have done or said differently, that we can drive ourselves nuts. I know I do it myself, and give myself a lot of unnecessary stress. You have enough to deal with, without thinking things like that. Take care!

The hardest thing is looking back on the 'what might have beens' - You're in my prayers.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
