| Message | I lost my son Casey to suicide on May 28, 2008. Tommorow is his 22nd birthday. I happened upon your website strictly by accident and I am thankful I did. Your story is my story. I hear all of my fears in your writing. I am 8 weeks into this as of tommorow as well. Kind of ironic that he was born on a Wednesday, died on a Wednesday and this first birthday is on a Wednesday. Thinking maybe I should stay at home tommorow. My son shot himself in the head and I was the one to find him. So unreal how much your brain will process yet how much it will allow you to remember. I don't remember to much, I remember calling 911 and then I remember the EMT saying "He has Expired". I remember my daughter getting there (I have 2 step daughters) but his only other blood sibling is my daughter. After that, I don't remember to much. I still have a hard time concentrating or remembering things. I have gotten a notebook and started writing down things so that I don't forget. I feel like my life stopped when my son died. Thank you |

I know you do understand what I'm feeling right now and I ask for your prayers to help sustain me. My pain and sorrow are so great I sometimes just cannot breathe. Please pray for the Blessed Holy Spirit of Comfort come and fill my heart. I would like very much to have your newsletter. My only solice when my Chris died was to get on the inernet and write his story. I created a web site for him and if you are interested please feel free to go there and read his story. www.lifewithoutyou.org I would also like to ask if I may add your link to my site. You have been able to put into words the way we all feel when we lose our children. Your site has been such a blessing to me I would like to send others there also. God Bless You for your support group. Do you have local chapters? I live in Fort Worth Texas. Thank you so much. Melinda |

| Message | I am thankful to have found others that feel just like me. My husband shot himself by gunshot and I was the one that found him. He hid his hopelessness from me. I would have never thought he would do such a thing. I visit his grave every other day. I keep thinking he will just walk in the door." Hey Baby!" I feel so alone and unable to be social, my pain is so obvious, it causes me to avoid most social settings. I feel like when I do smile, my heart breaks more. If God would only let me see him one more time, I never got to tell him goodbye He was a wonderful husband.The kind of man most women would only dream about. The love we had was incredible, which makes this even worst, because I'll never know what happened. horror of finding him never goes away. There is a huge social stigma in our society for the survivors of suicide. It's almost callous, and most certainly uninformed. the one's you would think would be there for you, friends, your church, etc... are not . I have trouble maintaining every day practical matters, as though steps 1-9 are missing .Greedy in-laws threw me away like a used paper towel, left me with no where to go, no job, no money. I went from a six figure life to foodstamps. My husband had been a sucessful , well educated man. During his recovery from Prescription meds, his length of hospital stay should have been longer to safely reduce him off. Somehow, he must have had a meltdown. The doctors never informed me of a potential sucicide risk. |

| Message | It has been 3 months this week that my 21 yo daughter took her life. Her father blames the antidepressant and I blame me. Why didn't I call more, visit more. I always saw her as much stronger than I am. I never in a million would have thought that, she, of all people would kill herself and especially leave behind her beautiful 2 1/2 yo daughter. Everything that day was going well from what we could piece together. Sometime between 3 and 3:30 she put one bullet in the chamber and pulled the triger. I never got to say goodbye. The note she left was addressed to her Dad, no one else. I have suffered so much in my life, why did God see fit to add more. I miss her so much. |

| Survivor? Loss and date | lost my big brother, Mark Markham, May 17, 2008 |
| Interested in our SR2H Survivors Newsletter? | not sure |
| Message | My brother, Mark Wayne Markham hung himself in his garage almost 2 months ago at the age of 54. He struggled with depression for approx. 5 years. His teenage sons, my sisters and mother are absolutely devastated, of course. My own son struggles with PTSD after fighting in Iraq as a Marine and I worry about him constantly. I have written a poem and am writing a story about Mark and this experience and one day I would like to share it with the general public to help others through this nightmare. Thank you for this wonderful website! |

| Survivor? Loss and date | Still Surviving - hanging on June 28, 2008 |
| Interested in our SR2H Survivors Newsletter? | Yes |
| Message | My sister hung herself on June 28,2008 she is on life support. She was just beginning to seem happy again, had been remarried for 5 weeks. She had her younger son, age 8, on that day and her new husband found her. Her 1st and 2nd husbands will not stop coming to see her (each is the father of a different child - oldest age 15). They are both monsters. I, too, feel like I am going to hell and back again. Just as I feel like I have a grip some new development happens like a nightmare from which you cannot awaken yourself. My father is despondent as he takes care of my mother, a stroke victim who is hemipelegic. She had become a good friend of mine. Now I am hurt and angry. I am sorry for your loss. I hope now to be a better mother so that my children are happy every moment of their lives, though I know that means little in the realities of the world. I am afraid for my sister. In the Jewish religion her soul has no place to go. I hope that there is a peaceful place for the souls of people who did not have the strength to accept this world and all of its faults. I hope that somewhere or sometime I see her again. I am not sure how I am going to tell my children when they are done with camp. I thank you for the site. I wish you peace in heart, for you and your surviving children. JG |

| Message | Hi Louise. Yep, I'm still "just being me". It's what I do best. I am in awe of how R2H has grown since we first met. I am here today looking for helpful information for a new survivor family. One of Chelle's good friends will be buried Friday, he took his own life Saturday night. I am hoping to be able to help his family as you and the rest of R2H helped me so many years ago. Love and hugs, Laura |
