I've just got off the phone with my son. My AH's nephew committed suicide this afternoon. Think the mind is in shock. If you all remember this was the one whom I had posted about sometime in May. He was in a serious motorcycle accident. He survived was back at work and just had a new little one a few weeks ago. My kids were so close to AH's sister's kids. My son well he spoke okay..... no tears........yet. No one knows why....... Serveral things go through the mind. A DUI Fri. may have put his job in jeapordy. May's accident left a mountain of med. bills.... Yet he always had such a good outlook on life when I was around him. Soooooo many why's.......and I know in my heart it won't bring him back. Just had to vent. Please pray for his wife, his kids, his parents, ect......everyone who knew and loved him sooooo very much.
Hi wanda, Sorry to hear of your loss. What a terrible waste. My prayers are with you and your family. Lani

I will say a good prayer for them. I went to my first meeting tonight in 4 years and met up with someone who me and her were a bridesmaid for my sons godmother. She told me tonight that she died 2 yrs ago so although my meeting was good I have that hanging heavy in my heart. Like I say though, whist I am praying for her tonight, I will pray for them too.
Thank you both. Welcome KLT. Great for you on making that first meeting. Life is sooo bittersweet at times, huh? Had my little man aka grandson from 1 yesterday afternoon to almost 2 today. Loved it though he was a little "pill" at times fussing. (He loves attention and likes to be held.) Kept gazing at him while I rocked him. Ironically Nick and my kids crossed my mind.......thinking back to when they were little/babies. Nick's sister's birthday is today. She is 30 and I guess they all had a big surprise party for her last night. Can't imagine what she must feel? This will surely overshadow it always. Still can't phathom why? That is such a useless waste of energy to even try. The thought of alcohol keeps coming to mind. How it destroys the thinking. God only knows how much I HATE it and what it has done to my own little family. I guess it's the anger thing surfacing ......anger at alcohol, anger at Nick, and anger that this couldn't somehow be averted. God help us all to see alcohol for what it truly is. Again......grateful to you both.
This takes me back, Learning. I have my best friend's obituary and photo on my refridgerator. She died as a result of this disease and a decision one night that she could not take back.
I understand your sorrow, and know that I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

My prayers for you both & those involved. I can't speak. Suicide is one of the greatest & most poignant mysteries of life & death. That decision to leave such a lonely one. I'm so sorry for their loss of life & to those who will always love them. Danielle x
