HI My name is Stafford
I am struggling at the moment my brother michael Died last year he went missing in the april and he died the same night he went missing and he was declared dead on the 21st of this month he was 38 years old. and my dad died the same way on April 29th 1985 he was 36 years old i was fourteen years old when he died. they both took there lives.
Please help me i cry every night because i miss them both.
Oh I am so very very sorry for what you are going through right now. In fact what you have gone through since you were 14 and now again.
Is your Mother still alive? Are you close to her? Have you got a partner? You need people around you. Which country do you live in? In the UK there is always the Samaritans who are very good. You need someone to listen to you at this time. Don't worry about crying. Who wouldn't in your situation?
My husband died in February and I have days when I just cry and cry. Go to your doctor and tell him/her that you need counselling. In the UK there is a long waiting list but the sooner you get your name on the list the better.
Keep in contact with this site too as everyone has lost loved ones. Your case is so sad though. Please take care of yourself and know people care. Ring the Samaritans tonight if you are in the UK.
A big hug to you.

Hi STAFFORD
It must be so frustrating that the Mental Health Team don't seem to helping you. You talk away to us, we've all been there and crying is compulsory!
Here are some resources for you to read and contacts of those who can help with your depression, highly recommended.

Stafford -- Everyone here has given you good advice and on your own you have made contacts that will help you get through this period of time. I will just add that I feel in my situation I am "l the last man standing." Each of my three consecutive husbands has died; one only 35 years old. Your partner may still be able to understand your situation, but unable to express sympathy at this time. Cry as long as you need.
Wow this is a very distressing time for you stafford to lose any loved one is bad enough but to lose both of the men in your life in such tragic circumstances is bound to be hurting you badly..its still very raw yet with the loss of michael you need time if you want to cry you cry. My mum died 10 years ago and it still feels like yesterday i still feel the pain i still miss her so much half of my being went when she did we all have experienced a loss too and im glad youve reached out to talk to us about it. We are all still feeling our loss and still grieving but we are all here for you no matter what your not alone in this honey.

In the uk cruse bereavement offers free counselling. If you mention the nature of your bereavements thee should be someone in each area that is trained specifically for working with bereavement by suicide. Public health England produce a booklet called help is at hand. It is for those who have been bereaved by suicide. It has lots of info and places to go for help. One of he ones it recommends is uk-sobs.org.uk who I think have local support groups. I hope you find someone who can understand and help
