My baby sister, Liza (28), ended her life February 17th of this year. I had spoken with her the day before, as did my mother and father and a few of her friends. None of us saw this coming. Not even her fiance. She didn't leave a note, she didn't warn anyone. I miss her so much - Knowing I will never have closure is unbearable. I love you so much, LizaD and I hope you know that.

Our very handsome grandson Chris, you would have been 20 years old today. We know you are celebrating with Our Father and the angels above. We miss you so much and wish you were here. We wish you a very happy birthday honey from our hearts to yours. We love you always.

4 years ago today our grandson Chris, went home to be with Jesus. Honey, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you and remember your beautiful smile and the touch of your soft face. Grandpa sends his love too. We love you very much Chris.

TODAY CHRIS WOULD HAVE TURNED 34 YEARS OF AGE. MISS HIM DEARLY

My only son,Charlie committed suicide on
March 15,2010. He had problems,but if he would have given himself a chance he could have gotten through them. I don't think he realized how many people love him. It is so hard coping with the guilt. I just wish I could have found a way to help him. I miss him so much. I love you Charlie!

I hope to see everyone at group tonight. I had such a break through last meeting. Steve tried to make me see that my husband's suicide was NOT my fault. There's at least 5 reasons why his death weighed so heavily on my heart. Steve helped me in healing just a little more. It's been 12 years since Mark's death, but it was the first time I said out loud, "Mark's death was not my fault." Sobbing, I kept repeating it, all the way home. If I keep saying it, maybe someday I'll actually believe it. We carry the grief, sorrow, depression, and responsibility for our family member on our shoulders. It's such a heavy load. I know it's a load, I will always carry. But in time, maybe it won't weigh so much. I can only hope. See you tonight. Thank you Cathie and Steve for such a great group, and giving us the chance to learn to live with suicide instead of letting it consume us.
God bless you both.

My daughter, Ruthie, left so suddenly in August 1997. I didn't get to hug and kiss her good-bye like we always did. I didn't get to tell her again how much I loved her. I miss her so much! A piece of my heart went with her and I will not be whole until we are together again. I have God's promise that we will, so I hang onto that.

My only child, Brian, commited suicide in Aug.2007. Facing this was the most difficult challenge of my life.SOS are unique people who have been dealt the deepest sorrow one could ever imagine. The pain does not go away, survivors are left with guilt, pain & sometimes the ability to move beyond the suicide. Taking "one day at a time" is the best we can do. Whomever is reading this and continue to feel the devastating grief, just keep your chin up because God is looking down and will help you get through this most difficult time. Reaching out to others who have been through the same experience will give you strength and hope.

My mom atempted to take her life a few times. She died in 1974 of carbon monoxide poisoning at 49. We were best buddies of 3 kids. I want my mom. I drove the same car after her death. The toughest part of her funeral was when her casket was lowered into the ground. She was gone. I thought someone might come along and be my mom. I've a life without a mother. I am 60. I have known 7 people who have committed suicide. You never get over it; just cope better.

How could you have done that? How could you not see how many people care about you, and only wanted you to be happy? How could you leave us??? You were in so much pain. Any of us would have erased that pain if we were able to, and if you asked for help. We didn't see how much you were hurting, and am sorry. We will always remember and love you, Danielle.

Ran across some old love letters the other day. Though the dates were old, the kind words are timeless. Letters from when we dated, when he was deployed to Desert Storm and Desert Shield, and when we were married. Mark, me and the kids miss you very much.

Christopher, mom loves you and misses you so very much. I miss witnessing the love and concern you had for others, and the way you would get children around you engaged in activity (building tents, playing games, everything!). I miss seeing your artwork, smile, and beautiful eyes. I miss holding your warm hands, and kissing and hugging you. I also miss picking on each other which you always took with a playful spirit. You are terribly missed. I will see you in a moments time!!!! I am looking so forward to that moment. Love always, Mom xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

In memory of my sister Carol. I remember, when I was younger, I wanted to learn how to swim. Carol would sit on the edge of the bathtub and let me practice in my swimsuit. I couldn't go very far but I thought it was cool that she would let me think I was doing something. She was a wonderful Christian woman who spent alot of time with me and my other sister as teens. She was a good example to us and I miss her ver much.

In memory of our grandson Chris. He went home to be with the Lord in January 2007. He was an awesome boy who had the gift of drawing. He could look at something and draw it exactly. He loved to draw, skateboard and play video games. Chris had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. As each day goes by, we realize more and more how much we miss him.
