A question for Survivors of suicide

I think that by answering from the heart will be your way in this. To be honest there is no easy answer to that question. You are suffering..you have suffered and there is noone that can truely relate until they have been in your shoes. There is a great difference in my losing someone close to illness and them taking their own life. I can only say that my thoughts are with you and good luck on your interview. I think you have a lot to offer people that have suffered the kind of lose that you have and even those that haven't experienced it.

Jess, when reading your discussion I start asking myself few questions. First, I was not much active for the last year on Mylot. I was login in for one respond, one discussion once a while. I start my activity back this year. I guess I have miss a lot. I didn't read your previous discussions.I went back today to find our about Brian. I am so sorry about your lost. I am also thinking why good discussions are not answered..... I lost my mother and my father recently, only 7 months left after my father departure. I lost them due to cancer, but I know how hard it to talk about. In your case, I think you can help others. I went back to your discussion about Brian. My mother used to say that those who are left behind are victims, not those you are gone. No matter what you do, you always feel quilt of not doing more to prevent things from happening. Don't think what to say, just say about how you feel. Be honest. I trull y believe that you can help for many people. Warm hugs.
