Oh Sue. There are just no words that will help your heart. I'm so sorry. It's been almost 14 years since i lost my beautiful son So many questions about this whole world. It hurts so much. trying to find meaning. He sent us a letter/poem thru very mysterious circumstances 20 months after he passed, so i know he is still with us in some way we do not understand. Bless you. I wish I could hug you. God bless.

"If love was enough to stop suicide, suicides would very rarely happen.But love isn't enough and suicides are prevalent." So very true. I've lost two brothers to suicide. Love, unfortunately, wasn't enough to save them.

Suicides happen when you're in that state of mind to end your life, whatever brought you to that point. You could have a lot of people who love you but if you've been shown that you are also very unloved by other people it can still bring you to that point. And then accuracy and successful suicides just really depend on who's around them when they're in that very moment. Most of the time they aren't thinking or caring about anything else they just want to end their life right then and there, and they won't be reaching out to anyone. So if they're alone and have access to methods then it's most likely they will succeed.

My heart hurts for you, our childs suicide changes who we are from the very minute we find out, or hear those words. I thought all was right with the world March 24th, 2020, even with just the start of covid here in NJ. Then at 845am my 2 older daughters knocked on my door and I can remember every detail on their faces, the words that went into one ear and went out the other because my brain couldn't even recognize my daughters name. I was confused, seriously confused and yelled at my girls they were lying, but I didnt know why they would say such a thing to me. If only her husband had filled us in that she attempted 8 months prior, but didn't need medical attention, then they went climbing I stead of seeking help or telling her family. This gave her time to order a life ending substance from Amazon 3 mo ths before, wait for her brother to come back from France, went on a job interview, got the job and supposed to start may 2020, but she called me the day before and was worried she wouldn't get the job because of covid just starting ....she left 7 notes written over months to her husband. We finally have all her belongings and her husband put his house on the market a few months ago and moved out.

I lost my mother to suicide in May of 2018, the day before Mother’s Day. She was genuinely my bestfriend, there wasn’t a thing in the world I felt like I couldn’t tell her. Two weeks before she took her own life, she climbed Machu Picchu, one of the 7 wonders of the world. It still blows my mind she did that, and I still struggle to understand how someone can go from literally being on top of the world, to underneath it so quickly. Her name was Jennifer Chamberlain and she was an amazing, loving mother. Carrying on with her death has not been easy, but I refuse to allow myself to become just another statistic. ❤️

See my above post. My sincere sympathy to you and your family. My daughter also climbed minchu pichu 9 years ago, traveled to Africa, ran marathons, had her Masters in nutrition, and had just passed her final exam June 19th. 2019. I saw her last on Christmas eve 2019, 3 months before her death., she was peaceful, sweet, open, honest about some feelings, but never told us how out of control her anger was, her depression, her sense of failure, thought her husband would be better without her and she had no purpose to go on with the pain. 32 years, the youngest of my 4 kids. This has changed who we are forever. God bless you.

It's two weeks that I also lost my mother to suicide. It has been a year that I'm student in abroad, and this sumemr I came to my hometown to see my family. I was really happy and I didn't know it was the last time that I would see my mother in the airport. Two weeks ago when I came to my mother's funeral I couldn't believe that she is not here anymore. Now, I feel pain, guilt and anger. I can't stop asking myself that was I a good daughter to her or not? And sometimes I find myself blaming her that how could she give me this huge pain?

My sweet baby girl brought me here. She was so smart, witty and beautiful. She had goals and direction. She was going to graduate high school at least one year early and was trying to finish even two years early. But she was never pushed to do it by me or her mother. It was her own drive. She was hard on herself. If she didn't get a 100% on a test shed say she failed. She was her toughest critic. My baby girl was 15 years, 9 months and 20 days old. I just miss my sweet baby girl so so much. I took for granted that she'd just be here my whole life, and I just feel so empty. Thank you so much for making this video for us. I don't know if it will actually help, but thank you for trying

Last week I lost my friend Andy to suicide. He struggled with depression his whole life. He was brilliant and well-loved by his family and friends. In spite of promising his sister, brother, parents and friends that he would not commit suicide, he lost his battle eight days ago and took his own life at his parents' house. Very traumatic for all involved. Despite tons of counseling and reading and researching everything he could about depression and love and support from his family and friends, he was tortured with dark thoughts that he couldn't escape from. He was 49. Rest in peace Andy. 💙

The concept that death by suicide rather than age, accident, or illness has been on my mind since my son’s death two and a half years ago. When death comes from suicide it’s unrelateable, I get that. The invasion by way of insensitive questions and comments has been extremely hurtful. I’m done taking on these challenges. I’m walking away mentally and physically from other’s fear. My son died, bottom line. I grieve as any other. I’m not on a soap box. I have learned that the only way through the death of my son is like anyone else who grieves. There is no blame on me from me, and I refuse to be shamed by anyone else! Jeff, Forever 40 ❤ Mom

Joel; your story is our story. My wife and I lost our only son, who was only 13 years old, in the exact same manner and with my wife and I in the same room. This happened five weeks ago and I'm still in the same shock and disbelief as I was the moment I heard the shot go off and the glass door of our shower enclosure explode. He was an honor student and a star athlete, had a bunch of friends and a girlfriend, and was loved by everyone. He grew up in a very loving home and had the love and support of both his parents and his older sister, and had everything he needed and wanted. What we didn't know at the time and have since found out, is that he started vaping and developed an addiction and couldn't stop. We think he started vaping and smoking weed on occasion, back in February. We are almost positive that he obtained his own vape towards the end of March and was vaping frequently every day from that point up to this happening, which was only one month. We suspect that his mental health took a nose dive in that one month period and the effects of the vaping on his young brain caused severe depression and was ultimately the reason why this happened. We're completely devastated and don't even know where to begin, adjusting to this. I loved my son so much and was so proud of him, and he was my pride and joy. I spent so much time with him and put so much of myself into being his dad. We had a great relationship and I was the father to him that I wish I would've had. He took such a huge piece of my heart with him, I don't think there's enough left to keep living. I'm trying to be strong because I know I need to, for my wife and our daughter. But this has destroyed me. I was an abused child and I've been to war. I can tell you there's nothing in life that could ever prepare someone for this level of pain and grief. I hope you're making it along, but we are really having a hard time, probably me especially.

In 2016 I met this girl, she came into the store I was working in and I happened to serve her. Instantly, we had a spark in those few minutes and when I got off my shift I was amazed to see that she had friended me on facebook. She took my name from my tag. We chatted for weeks, met up a couple of times and we just clicked. I thought she was far too beautiful for me, and how lucky I was that she had noticed me... that just doesn't happen to guys like me. Sadly though, her mother passed and we sort of lost touch because she needed that space. I then got back together with an ex, and she moved away. I have thought about her every year since then, but my texts weren't sending and I couldn't find a trace of her online. I finally found out last night that she took her own life 4 years ago in 2020. I'am beyond devastated and I almost like I don't have the right to be....

Lost my wife by suicide. 32 years old. We we’re going through difficult times and she has dealt with heavy depression, her whole life. Two weeks before she took her life she quit taking her antidepressants. The night of she started drinking heavily and fighting with me. This happened just two months ago. I I still don’t know how to deal with the reality of it. Nothing is going to make it better. All we can do now is just live our life best we can. I don’t think there is a worse feeling in the world.

I still think about him every day, and about the man he would be today, and what he would think about who I am, someone 17 years older than he was when he ended his life. I regret that I never had the chance to know him as an equal due to the difference in our age.

I returned to this video over and over when I think I can’t take it anymore. It’s been almost 15 months since she took her life. And everything has fallen apart including her. I can’t hardly walk my vertigo is terrible. I was the one helping other people and not accustomed to asking for help or accepting it. People have restored my faith in the I kindness of strangers I had took care of my myself right then and there The pistol was on the floor and I did pick it up and pressed against my temple but she was breathing albeit, very irregular. I thought she is.going to be ok. We had a pact we would go out together. I couldn’t do it. In that blinding moment our lives changed. I blame myself. I was so depressed for so long and talked openly to her that I didn’t want to be here anymore. I feel it was my fault.

Guilt was the most traumatizing part of the grieving. I sat for months after each person passed on and tried to see if I missed any signs. The guilt definitely invoked nightmares whereby I couldn't save my cousin. Thankfully my mom seen the signs of depression I was displaying, she made me speak about what I felt and I spoke to a counselor at my university. It helped because I was able to let go of the fact that none of us were able to answer the questions we all had.

My sweet husband completed suicide on June 12, 2022. I fear my future is gone and if I hear one more person say, "you still have a future, it's just not going to look like you thought it was going to look," I might lose it. Everything that you said, is spot on.

Hello Pamela, I lost my wife to suicide 6 months ago and I know how you feel about the future. I just wanted you to know I feel the same. Your loss of 6 days is so raw I remember little bits of how I felt at that time. After 10 days I went to a support group and let everything out. I don't know if a support group is your thing. The guys who run my group speak from experience n to me that to me makes a big difference. Talking does help Pamela, take little steps too. I think KZfaq notify you if you get a response to what you post so I'll keep an eye open if you decide to respond. Ok

This past Friday morning, a friend of mine I've known for 7 years took his own life. He had been suffering for a very long time and tried to alienate and push away everyone he ever knew, everyone who ever cared about him. He tried to make all of us hate him but all it did was make us want to help more. I'm glad he's finally done fighting but it still hurts to know that he's gone. He didn't leave a note, he never told anyone of us why, he never told anyone of us how he was feeling, how he was crumbling to pieces...I just wish we could've done something. He took his own life in a car I sold him that I had some of my most treasured memories in...this car is being returned to me and it fucks me up even more to know that I have to drive it now because I just got into a car accident that totaled my car...I need it but I just don't want to look at it. It has a name "Solace" which I guess...it certainly was for him in the end. He loved that car as much as I did and it seems like it loved him back enough to be those open arms and that comfort he needed in the end to finally...stop fighting. I don't know how to feel or what to do. The only other thing for some reason I feel is rage that nobody in this situation can be allowed time to grieve amidst all the police bullshit, this legal bullshit, the funeral arrangements and the liquidation of the possessions of that lovedone...why does this have to be the first step after someone dies? Even if they took their own life? It's monstrous and I know this is just the stage of anger in the scale of grief but...knowing that doesn't do anything but make me angrier because I, just like he is...am now a statistic. The pain is just so wrong..he failed in his mission to push us all away...we are all broken. I miss you Nick, we all miss you Nick. Nick Dodge 1993-2023

He had second thoughts & called grandma but by the time he was found he was resuscitated. He was on life support for a short time, he had brain damage. It's devastating, my son had so much going for him, he was only 33 years old.

I watched her body go lifeless and held her for the last time. Ever since that day Feb 27th 2023 2:30pm… I’ve been in this autopilot I can’t get out of. My person is gone.. I’ll never see their smile again. I’ll never hug and kiss her again. She will never have known what could have been. She was so… tired and struggling for so long. I thought we had more time.

She’d been experiencing depression and anxiety for the past eight years. I don’t think my guilt and self loathing will ever go, as we had an argument the night she left the house. Two days later the police knocked on the door. Our whole world was devastated. I don’t think I can ever forgive myself. My heart aches for her daily.

Just lost my baby 14 yr old son to suicide on Oct 4th. I found him hanging from his loft bed after a small argument about him sneaking on his phone I didn't even think he could unlock or find. An argument we've had multiple times over multiple things the past few years at varying degrees amd arguments or issues that had been much worse were worked through and we always were okay. He had cut his arms once but he swore he wasn't suicidal. He said it was just out of anger and to show us how much he cared about his girlfriend. He swore he would never commit suicide because he knew how impactful and traumatic and painful it would be for me and our whole family (he has 3 younger brothers) the argument was short I finally just said go to your room and calm down please take some accountability for your lying and actions for once please stop yelling excuses and tale a break ill be down in a minute when I calm down. About 20 minutes later after a few texts with my husband and trying on a new costume I thought I might wear for halloween.. I felt bad like I always did. It was homecoming Friday and his first since starting highschool. I was gonna give him a hug and tell him he could go to the dance if he just stopped lying to me please.. and he was hanging by one of his neck ties from his loft bed on his knees. It didn't feel real at first I told him to stop faking I shook him quickly realized I needed to cut him down ran up stairs got scissors cut him down called 911 and he flopped down on his back. I started chest compressions until EMS arrived. All my kids were home and up stairs but thankfully for some reason and through all the commotion none of them came down during this. Ems got a pulse he was life flighted to a children's hospital and stayed on life support until the morning of the 5th day when his body couldn't hold on anymore because of his complete brain death/lack of oxygen. It still doesn't feel real. I function I take care of my sons. We had a beautiful service. My husband has returned to work all of my family has flown back home accross the country and I just... I journal.. I take my medicine. I cry a couple times a day. When I actually feel the reality in brief moments. I want to hug his urn. But most of the time even though I was with him as his ventilator was removed he took his last breath his heart stopped all of these things... I'm still waiting for him to come home.

In the Netherlands they translate this bij self killing and that word hurts so much If you know the person ( our son of 23) as a social designer and a lovely person. I can say that because I am his mother who felt a soulmate as I never felt before. He was in a master year and had a relationship he felt unsure about. The strange thing for a lot of people but for me clear is that he wrote that he did not wanted to hurt somebody. I saw his eyes changing, going insite, talking leds and less. My love for him let me survive but it feels lonely. I wish more people in the Netherlands would be more open. I am very open since more than 8 year.

Worse than anything I’ve experienced, except for the loss of my mom. Feeling the heartache of his parents and is heart wrenching. As well as worrying about my daughter. There is no way to make sense of this. 💔🙏 My heart breaks for all of those who have lost family members, and to those who think this is the only way for life to get better.

We lost my husband's son Adam to suicide last week. My husband found him. He will never un see that image. We loved Adam so much and tried to help in any way that we could. His birthday is June 5th and he would of been 42 years old. He had mental illness and was on a decline the last few years. We miss him so much. We know he can finally rest and be free from his demons. It's so difficult. We had so many more times we wanted to say we loved him no matter what. We are trying to process and to remember happier times.

I lost my dear brother to suicide, only a few months ago. He was my friend, my best friend. Even when far away from each other, I still felt him beside me. He was in the US Marine Core, we had a special funeral for him, but I just felt so lonely, so lost, like I can't ever live normal or happy again. Its given me horrible depression, beyond thought, that I don't feel like I can handle life anymore. I was just a normal teenag girl, that got scarred for life.

My youngest daughter took her life March 25th 2020 after going into a suicide site, ordering sodium nitrite from Amazon, 3 months prior to her death at the home she shared with her husband. I'm stuck, I'm seeing a therapist for 2 years and I just dont want to accept shes gone. She has 3 older siblings, and we are all trying our best. She left 7 notes to her husband, we found out she had been struggling for over a year prior, neither of them let us know.

I lost two friends this way, and friends of mine have lost children. It definitely felt different than my many other losses, especially the most recent loss of a friend. I felt guilt at not having been in touch for about a year, and not even knowing they were struggling. It seemed impossible that it happened. I kept visualizing multiple ways it could have happened which was making me more frantic. I then did the faux pas of asking her Dad if he would be willing or comfortable to tell me how it happened because I felt at the time that knowing would at least narrow down the many horrific scenarios in my head. But of course, once I knew (only the most basic info) that is what I visualized over and over (I am a visual and highly sensitive person). My sessions with you Jo, helped a lot to validate what I was feeling as well as my need to take care of myself. Reading about someone's experience of losing a loved one to suicide in their published book, was actually NOT helpful as their coping mechanisms also triggered me into feeling like I wasn't being strong enough. I did a few things that helped me to connect with my friend - wrote a letter "to" her, for instance - in a symbolic way to help deal with the guilt. Thanks for bringing up this topic. I really appreciate your insights into the differences between grief for this kind of loss and other kinds of grief.

I was taken from the scene by ambulance. Major panic attack. The cop was asking questions and I just remembering asking is he dead over and over. It was very obvious he was. It was horrible. I remember the police coming to the hospital to ask me if he was left or right handed. I was in such shock I actually wasn’t sure at that moment. I knew. He was my best friend of 32 years. I will never forget that. I will never understand why they came to the hospital. A friend had arrived before I was gone. This was just a thought I had a few years later. Didn’t think much about it at the time.

My mother was 37 I was 11 - my father in 2019 at 80 yo, I was 55. I was his sounding board & caretaker from a distance. I mistakenly thought because of his age and fear of failing to do so - we, he was safe. I was wrong. It happened at home in both cases. He left a audio message and all his files medical and written from the last 40 years. His “note” was transcribed by me. So his messages contained within could be given to those he wished. The day NY shut down due to pandemic was the day I received all his personal effects. I’ve yet beyond the audio transcription have been able to go through his things. He wanted me to tell his stories. To help researchers have information so he could be “of greater use after life than he was in it”.

It’s just mind boggling to see how many die by this tragedy. I lost my son one year ago, he felt stuck and overwhelmed working in Ca. Corrections toxic environment. He thought he would be a peace officer. Yes all these feelings are big, from shock, processing ,numbness, guilt, and anger its cycles continues a year later, it’s becoming more real. I miss my bear!!!!

Is it strange to feel protective of my brother after he took his life? I don’t want him remembered for that one final act? I somehow think that it is a very private death. I had no idea he was thinking of suicide so since I found him I feel it should be kept private except for those closest to me. Who knows how he would have wanted me to handle it.
