The burning question:
WHY?
We will never; can never know.
Sometimes there are warning signs ... other times, none.
There may have been a note, or words exchanged, but these "reasons" are never the complete answer for what was done.
You are not alone in your struggle to find meaning in what may seem a meaningless act.
You may find yourself feeling the need to defend one's memory against the negative societal views of suicide.
You may be just as angry as you are sad, at times.
You may even be confronted by someone whose belief system guides them to assure you that your loved one is going to Hell.
But what you will find here, is simply support, and understanding.

I feel ... numb. Not sad, not angry. Just nothing.

I have a lot of anger because the person who chose to take their life left me with a lot of baggage, but I don't like to hear anyone else say negative things about that person. Is that weird?

Check with your church, health department or yellow pages for local grief counseling services. There are groups that meet regularly and may be available to you and your family at little or no cost. It helps to share with someone who knows how it feels.

People don't ask me how I'm doing. They ask how the kids are coping, but I think only two people ever asked me how I was. It made it feel like I wasn't supposed to be affected.
