Who’s boyfriend just shot himself. A split second decision. Depression, alcohol and a pistol laying on the table! Never should have happened!

Devastating news,and i really don't often discuss this as l know how she will feel,it is so,so difficult the emotions she will face for the rest of her life, of course you'll keep a careful eye on her, and being so young she'll feel like her world has fallen apart,its a taboo subject, and its only just about getting some sort of 'help' here in the UK, but no matter where in the world its someones son/daughter, I understand the turmoil that both families/friends will have to face and everyone will have many questions, and I'm afraid to say, the biggest question is why, well after 30 years of soul searching I'm still no nearer to an answer, yes the pain goes, but the question doesn't, i have ended up being a more cautious person, but I'm not afraid of my own shadow, i ended up being an alcoholic after my friends suicide, (i found him hanging) I've been sober for nearly 8 years and i send you a virtual hug from Scotland, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time x

It’s 12:30am here in the USA Washington state. I’m sleeping on my couch with my cell phone handy. I’ve been talking to my daughter a few times today. I told her you call me anytime day or night if you feel you are losing control of your emotions. Don’t do anything foolish. I told her I’m ready keys in hand to come Get You! My God I can’t even explain how her strange wailing has effected me! It’s as if her grief is coming from her toes to the roots of her hair! Scary as her Dad I still don’t know what she may do. How I wish she were still my toddler I could tuck in bed! She’s an adult. I don’t know if she will drink excessively and drive etc...I find this much more concerting than my my end stage copd!

May God bless you and your daughter and give yous the peace you need and deserve. As a parent of an older child it’s hard to know what to do, like you say you want to surround them in cotton wool and keep them safe. It’s a hard one Apeter all you can do is be there for her when she calls.

You are in my prayers.

Regards

You are just a couple of years older than me, I also have a daughter who is slightly older than your gal,I'm trying to think what I would do if this was my daughter,are you nearby where she lives? If not, can you get a close girlfriend of hers to go and keep an eye on her? I know you have a lot on your plate and I don't expect you to answer, perhaps she might need a mild sedative from the doctor for a day or two to help her get over this terrible period of her life, even picking words I'm trying not to offend you,is there any local group therapy called survivors of suicide, as we can have a massive guilt trip, and this is always a big problem, it plays a big part in our daily lives, and only those left left behind tend to go on these guilt trips,i would try and make sure that she keeps away from alcohol, as this is a depressant and could affect her wellbeing,once again my thoughts and prayers are with you

Not what you're looking for?
