I can answer questions about surviving suicide, about losing a family member to suicide and how to heal the hole that is left behind by a loved one committing suicide.
My father committed suicide when I was 8 years old. It took me 13 years to even start dealing with his death but once the healing started it was truly an educational experience. I know now that he is with me all the time and though his physical self is no longer here, his spirtual self lives on in me and my son. I'm now 49 and have talked to several people about losing a loved one to suicide and have received some positive feedback about my advice. I am a medical transcripitionist and have been in the medical field for 20+ years. I feel I survived my dad's death to have the understanding to be able to help others. I love to help others.

Hi friend! What a sad story you have but through the pain there is always hope. Of course you still love your husband; 17 years and two children are a lot to share to suddenly feel nothing. I really
Yes, I really do think you need professional help. And I know you need spiritual help. In some ways, April, you are already institutionalized within your own fear and anxiety and awful memories. You
