Message	My husband Clint took his life last week. My 12 year old son found him after school. I was at work when I got the call. We had only been married 3 and 1/2 years, but he showed me so much about love in that short time. I am so hollow and I don't know what to do. My son is trying to be strong for me. He is a strong little man. He loved his stepdad so much. I wish I could has talked to him, I keep thinking maybe I could've stopped him. He is the love of my life. We both had bad first marriages and found our way together, and loved each other regardless of our flaws. I always said we aren't perfect, but we are perfect for each other. Depression is such an ugly monster. I have seen it in life, at home, in ,myself and through work. I am an lpn at a medical clinic. But all this is no help with the pain I feel. I don't know what to do or where to start. Please pray for us. Especially my son, he found his dad. He shot himself and was totally unrecognizable. I pray that image dims from his mind. He is so protective of me now. He told his friends he had been through and seen stuff he prayed that no one else ever has to endure. We are in counseling and have a wonderful church and family support but I feel so alone most of the time. I like this site, it seems to have alot of good advice and tips. Thanks for letting me talk to someone.

Message	I have found such comfort in this website. It has made me realize that all I am feeling is normal and there really are others who truly understand how and what I am feeling. So many of the words written by other survivors could have been written by me. This site has given me hope. For the first time I believe it is possible to work thru this and reclaim a happy healthy life. My hardest task is working on surrendering to the fact that no matter what I think I could of done to prevent this I COULDN'T ! IT WAS HIS CHOICE ! I know that in my mind but my heart hasn't yet accepted it.Shortly after my brother died my father also passed away, I was left all alone to deal with that myself. Glen was my only sibling and our mother had passed away a few years before Glen.I am thankful my mother wasn't here on earth to endure and deal with the pain of her only son dying by his own choice. I am still so angry that he has hurt us all SO MUCH. Especially my children. They were 17 and 10 yrs old at the time. They have lost so much in their short lives.My 12 yr old son asks me on a regular basis if I AM SUICIDAL ! THAT BREAKS MY HEART ! My prayers for all the survivors is that we can all come to a place of PEACE within ourselves. For the first time I believe I am capable of making that journey. Thank You so much for this website

Message	My brother, Steve Clendenen, took his own life this past March after fighting bipolar illness for years. He is survived by a wife, five sisters, three sons,two daughters, and seven grandchildren. He was 48. Your site has been most helpful. Thank you so much for sharing and helping each of us survivors find wellness in such a difficult time. I am referring each of my family members to your site to find healing. May God bless your ministry and for all you have done to reach the world in such an emotional life altering time.

Message	I lost my brother to suicide. As many others I didn't see any warning signs.I struggle everyday with the guilt over how i could not have known how much pain he was in. This tragic event has shatterered my entire family. Three months after his death my father died. He was not able to cope with the loss and he died with a broken heart. I am struggling with the guilt of still having a life to live and trying to find happiness and joy at the same time trying to keep his memory alive. I believe this will be a life long journey of dealing with the loss and grief.My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has endured such a loss. Gail Vitucci

Message	I found this website by just googling. My father killed him self 9 days ago, and I am just looking for help. I am so glad that I have found the sites that I have, and to know that I am not alone. I feel as if I belong to a club I never wanted to know about let alone be a part of. But atleast there is help out there for people like us.

Message	I am happy for this site because I know I'm not alone with my lost. I received a telephone call from my son wife telling me that my son is dead, he shot himself. I still cannot accept that my son took his own life. I question myself as a mother, how could I have failed my son, in the most desperate moment in his life? Why did he feel like he could not reach out to me to ease his pain? I try blaming my whole family for my son death, because no one was there to help him, even though I know deep down inside we did all we could to keep him here. This was his second attempt, he tried five years before he completed the act. He was 27 years old, he decided to leave his three children. I know it was selfish of him, but I get angry when anyone else say it. Loving Mother

Message	I lost my husband May 9, 2008. We were married for 26 years and have a wonderful 19 year old son. I am in so much pain. I am a christian and have been for many years, but this must be one of the weeks, months, etc. where all I want to do is cry. I miss him so bad. He was so sick and I stayed by his side all the way. I found him and that is what is another thing that is so hard. I feel sometimes he is watching me when I cry and I would love to feel his arms around me once again. I know I will see him again one day. His birthday is this month on October 19th and that is also very hard. My son and I are now living with my parents and I am taking care of my Mother. She fell and broke her hip. It is all so sad sometimes it overwhelms me. I can't even hardly type this. I was in search for some support groups or something when I found this website. Keep me and my son in your prayers that we may laugh and actually be happy again one day. He was a wonderful loving man.
