My sister did the same thing. She had tried before, promised to get help and so on. You know, the only thing that really gets me through sometime is to believe suicide is an illness. It is not really a choice, it happens as any other disease takes someones life. I suffer from the same thoughts, what if>? Could I have done more>?? Was I too hard on her?> All I know is I miss her every day, if I only knew what to do, but maybe there was really nothing anyone could do. I am very sorry for your loss....

I am sorry for your loss. I know suicide is an illness and not a choice our loved one's made. I know how easy it is to want to give up, but we do have to keep going...for our sake and their's! Praying for you and your family...Hugs, Steph

Im so sorry that this has happened to you,i lost my only sister the same way,she too tried and failed once and promised me she wouldnt do it again.I understand when you said why he didnt call you,i have said the same thing,we were so close and i was there for all of it while she was trying to get better.All i can say is the she WAS suffering from depression and watching her suffer was so hard.What helps me is to know she is not in pain anymore,she is at peace,i miss her EVERY day,but it was HER choice.~carrie~

My brother killed himself when he was 16 and I was 10. I'm sorry you have to deal with that too. I can't really tell you how to go on and feel better because I can't seem to ever get over it myself and don't think I ever will. Just know you're not alone in this. It hurts and you feel guilty like I did wondering if I could've said or done something. But deep down I know it's not my fault and it's not yours either. I wish you well.

My boyfriend took his own life on Oct. 6th. He had attempted suicide on May 9th and survived after 10 days in a coma. He was given a second chance at life and seemed thankful, at first. As time went on I could see the monster of depression returning which eventually won the battle. I don't think our loved ones had the strength to come to us - they were so consumed by the agony of themselves. I have relived that day over and over and over again wondering why he didn't talk to me. All we can do now is rest in the thoughts that our loved ones are now at peace.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
