My Grandaughter Iris was born on October 12th at 28 and a bit weeks. She died in My Daughter Amy's arms when she was 4 hours old. On the 23rd October at 7.42pm Amy was pronounced dead by paramedics. We'd taken our other out for the day, and left Amy on her own. She said she needed space. We got home to find our beautiful daughter had hung herself in the bathroom. There was nothing we could do. Amy had gone to look after Iris in heaven.
She was 16. My oldest child, yet she was still my baby. I am falling apart, but i have 7 other children, who have all lost their oldest sister. My oldest son has told me he misses her so much he want's to die to be with her, and i have a todler who keeps asking me when Amy's coming home. It's breaking my heart, and i don't know what to do.

I guess, what I would do if I was in your position is to be strong for them...
At the same time, don't be afraid to let yourself cry and express how you're feeling. Keeping everything locked away is not a good thing for anyone..
May peace be with you, if it means anything. I'll pray for your family.
And I for one do not believe that those we have lost to suicide end up in a different "Place" than anyone else who has passed. If anything they have lost their way and need God's loving, healing arms as much as the next person. That is what you must believe. I do. I never once believe my Mom is any other place than in God's loving embrace and healing from this life.
God bless, Kari. :)
