Oh Debbie,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. Suicide is such a selfish thing. It leaves families torn to pieces, with no closure or explanation.

I hope that when your child is old enough, you'll tell him wonderful stories about his Grandpa.

I think Mayor Karen said it best.

We are here for you, anytime you want to vent, feel free. That's what friends are for.

HUGE HUGS TO YOU!!!!!

My step Dad comitted suicide in the early 80's. Mama stayed mad at him to the day she died. I know the pain of surviving a loved ones suicide and all the emotions you go through so you DO have my deepest sympathy and support!

TRY to always remember, if he was going to do it, there is NO WAY any one could have stopped him, he would have did that job, no matter what. It had NOTHING to do with YOU but as Corinna said, it is more about what is going on in his own head. I feel like anyone in their right mind would do anything like that and God will not hold it against them if their mind was sick. My money is on, he is in heaven and will know his grandkids and watch over them!

I am so sorry for your lost. My words probably have no effect on you and probably won't make you feel any better, but I am truley sorry. I have lost no one to suicide. I REALLY hope your baby doesn't take it that hard! GOOD Luck!

I will continue to pray for you and your family. Personally, I havent experienced it but have heard stories. Just remember to stay faithful. What ever obstacle is thrown at you is not an accident, God doesnt make mistakes. Therefore He will guide you through it. (Matt. 19:26 With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible) It is very important to stick with God through this, He knows everything, which is a comforting thought I think. Everything is in God's plan and it will all work out. Hugs, prayers and love sent your way!

I can't say I know how you feel, because I haven't had that happen...yet (someone very close to me-a relative almost succeeded here recently).
I would be lost without her in my life as I'm sure you are without your dad.
Please just know we will always be here for you in your time of need.

Quite a few years ago now, my sister in law's father committed suicide. I will never forget the night that she called me. He was a big, tall, blustery kind of guy - always ready with a smile and a good joke or two. I had spent many an evening with he and his wife and enjoyed them immensely. They had worked hard all of their life in their own business and had successes.

At first I was so upset for my sis in law - and upset for my niece and nephew.
This was their Grandfather! Then I was angry - good and angry with him - how could he leave this legacy for his wife - his children and grandchildren?

But in time, I tried to understand. He had cancer - there was no hope - and he was already taking the strongest pain killers and morphine and it promised to get worse. He couldn't face that - and he didn't wish that on his wife.
So he took his own life.

A natural death is one thing - but suicide is just difficult to wrap yourself around and understand.

We are not in their heads - we don't know what they are thinking - how desperate they must be to chose this end. So it leaves us - the family and the friends numb.

My heart goes out to you - your child and of course, your Mom. You must feel abandoned - and indeed you have been.

This thing called Pet Talk - it brings so many different people together with so many experiences - and we can all put them in the pot and take a look at them. We are all in THIS together.

We won't let you down - and will help you in any way that we can.

I am so sorry for your loss - it will take time.............to heal.

I've never experienced suicide with anyone close to me. I can't imagine the feelings that go along with it. I'm sorry to hear about your dad
