Hi, Trish
I think your message was meant for the other "Sue" on this site. She is the one whose brother committed suicide. I'm Sue C., whose father just committed suicide. Your words are wonderful, no matter what. There are a lot of hurting people out there, I'm learning.
Thanks!
Sue C.

I would like to share what I have learned with losing two sons 40 days apart but the youngest one, he was only 19, committing suicide & I was the one who found him! It happens to be one of the worst things that can happen to a parent first to lose a child, but by Suicide even makes it more unbearable!! It took me quite awhile & lots of Therapy to finally realize that you have to learn this "You have to move on but you do NOT forget"... I had to learn to breath & live again by doing something in the honor of my sons, which I do! I speak to young people about thier deaths trying my best TO SAVE OTHER YOUNG ONES SINCE I COULD NOT SAVE MY OWN CHILDREN! And I know they are together and in Heaven & some day I will see them again!

Hello my name is Denise. I would like please to provide comfort for you because we also have loss loved ones to death and it is very painful and can hurt for a very long time. grieving is a process, it really is. When someone commits suicide members close to the person suffer severe mental turmoil, some of us even blame ourselves for the tragedy. Remember though it is not always easy to recognize signs of suicidal feelings. The Bible says: "The heart alone knows its bitterness, and no outsider can share in its joy (Proverbs 14:10) So sometimes it is simply impossible to discern what anotehr person is thinking or feeling. Many times a person cannot commmunicate their inneermost feelings to others, even those close to them. Rather than torment myself, I have found comfort in the words of wise King Solomon: "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Your loved one is not being tormented and the metal and emotional anguish that led to his death has ended. He is not suffering, he is simply at reast. Real assurance comes to us now knowing that there is a very beautiful and positive hope for our loved ones, even those who may rest in death. The Bible even promises that there is going to be a resurrection (acts 17:31) and so for now we must allow ourself to go thru the grieving process, shed tears where and when we must as this helps us thru the process. many sad days have come to us but as we allow ourself to grieve we find that we begin to allow room for cherished memories of our loved one and we hod the hope of the resurrection ever so close and dear to our hearts. may you too have peace.
