I am so very sorry for your loss. I can not imagine how hard it must have been. I wish there were magic words that made the pain go away, and showed us the way to deal with all of this. As for me and my journey, it just took time. Talk to those who understand, go through things, and let the emotions come and then deal with them as best I could.

I see that you are new to DS today, so welcome! I am sorry for the circumstances that brought you here, but am pleased to meet you.

DS has many support groups, and there is no limit to the number you can join. The only limit is time, the more time you invest in a group (to a point!) the more you will be able to get out of the group. There are a couple of groups you might want to consider:

http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Families-and-Friends-Affected-By-Suicide/support-group

This group is for family and friends of suicide. They are not very active, but they have a sad distinction of understanding what you have gone through.

http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Depression/forum

This is the depression group. I am a member there, and have found a great number of good people who understand and have helped me through my issues.

Again, I am sorry for the circumstances under which you have come here, but pleased to meet you.

Gentle hugs

I am very sorry for your loss. We are here to help if you need support so please feel free to post as much as you want to. We have all lost very important people to us and have a understanding and compassion for you.

Big Hugs to you and please share your pain with us.

I am always saddened to hear of another mother going through the loss of their child.
I am also a grieving mother--I lost my 19 year old almost ten years ago...I still think of him daily and miss him so much. The missing is always, but the raw stabbing pain of grief subsides...you will always grieve this loss...so hard for a mother...
9 years ago a group of grieving women/mothers met here on FB and formed a group called ForMomsOnly. They are truly my
lifeline through this journey.

Here is a link:

Take gentle care of you,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have also lost my only son, over the Easter weekend. I think I'm still pretty much in shock, but I have no interest in anything and I really don't know how to go on without him.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

All I can really say is continue taking it one day at a time. Some days will be better than others.

Hugs & Prayers

I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard it has been and is still. This group is a great place to talk about what you're going through or even to say if you're having a hard day.

HUGS.
