grieving a suicide death of my son

[TygrBright]

26. There is no loss like this. Please know, you are not alone.

Others have lost children and dear ones to suicide, and they can be with you. Please, reach out. You and your family.

I don't know where in TX you are, but there are resources like this one in Tarrant Co.. They will likely be able to refer or connect you to similar resources where you are. Or check with AFSP which has a national Find a Support Group page.

This kind of grief is unlike any other. I wish I could say something that would be more helpful, but being from a family that has had more than one suicide death, I DO know that it eventually does help to know you are not alone, and that you can talk with people who share this painful experience.

Yes, channeling the energy of your pain into something positive will help to some extent. But there is more to it than that. Stay strong, post here on DU if you can. There are other survivors here.

lovingly,
Bright
