Anyone ever lost a loved one to SU?
Anyone ever lost a loved one to SU?
Hi everyone. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has lost a loved one to suicide. My mom killed herself 3 weeks ago. I guess I am hoping to find someone to talk to who has gone through a similar situation. I know it may be hard to talk about, but if anyone would be willing to share I would like that very much. ![:redstar: :redstar:](./images/smilies/rdstar.gif)

My mother lost her father to an apparent suicide when she was 18 after her sister died and I've lost a couple friends, either direct or indirect. I'm always here if you need to talk either through pm, e-mail or aim. Be safe, ~DT

hey, im really sorry about your mom.
i lost one of my best friends to SU 6 months ago as of yesterday & its killing me.
ive also lost my mom, but that was not to SU. it was from natural causes.
i know its not the same, but i believe i have an idea of what you are going through.
& i would love to talk to you if you think it would help or if you just want to talk for no reason.
take care of yourself sweety,

life just keeps getting harder. i never get a break. i want a family. ive just had 2 people that are close to me die within weeks of eachother. i have to live with my dad for one more month which seems like forever from now & everyones always trying to control me & i hate it. i just wish i had a little freedom & could do what i want to & be my own person.
i think my goal is to make it through this next school year & then move in with a friend (that wont control me) & then i guess ill see what happens from there. i think this goal is my first big goal that im actually serious about... & it took 18 years to just be able to do that............

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom Moonstone.
I lost my Uncle to suicide just over two years ago, and it was the worst experience of my life. I'd love to talk to you if you wanted to, I think maybe if I'd talked about it more when it happened I'd have been able to cope better, so anything I could do to help you at this time I'd be more than happy to. Take care of yourself honey, I'm here if you need/want to talk about anything. Take one day at a time *hugs*

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been to the board much at all. I 've been so busy, and then I got sick.
I feel like I'm in total denial right now. I mean I can talk about the fact that it happened, but I'm so numb about it emotionally. Anyone else experience that? I am having sleep & concentration problems though, which are normal I guess. My anxiety probs are increased also (have GAD, panic and social anxiety disorder). Being the messed up individual I already was, I would expect that I'd be having a complete breakdown, but it's just not hitting me. I cried a lot when I was at home with my dad right after it happened and at the wake...but since then I've only cried once or twice. I keep waiting for it to hit me like a truck. The cemetery was still closed for the winter so I have to go back up to Maine in a few weeks for the actual funeral. That really sucks..like we all have to do it all over again. Anyway, I know that it's affecting me in some ways, but it's just like not real or something. I guess I can't force it. I know a girl who's mom died in a car accident 8 years ago and she told me she's still waiting for it to hit her and she's still in denial. i don't want that to happen. It seems that in order for me to get through the grieving process, I have to start to deal with this at some point.
I have an enormous amount of things to get done right now, maybe my brain has shut off my grief so I can get it all done. I don't know. I'm kind of rambling here huh? Anyway, i would appreciate hearing how you guys have dealt with this. Thanks.
