LIFE AFTER A LOVED ONE'S SUICIDE

 "No matter how beautifully your life is arranged, no matter how lovingly you tend to it, it will not stay that way forever."  Kathryn Schulz

There was a time when our lives were beautifully lived, embraced with tender and caring love,  full of simple joy and happiness. Our future bright with shared affection, promises and dreams.

A normal day begins with its daily routine, then in an instant - it ends tragically. A sudden suicide, a devastating death and all was lost, all was gone - our lives forever changed, never the same again.

Life after a loved one's suicide is heartbreaking, horrendous, horrifyingly hard. Nothing in our lives has prepared us for the shocking sadness and sorrow that overwhelmed us - lost within ourselves, consumed with profound feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.

Although we are dearly embraced by our family and friends, we feel alone and abandoned as we mostly suffer in silence - at night we cry, not until we fall asleep but until the sun rises and we must once again slowly struggle through another day.

But as time passes, our wounds may not heal but they won't be as painful as they once were - gradually our life improves, forever mindful of the love we lost. 

The death of our loved one may have destroyed the life we had, broken our hearts and shattered our souls - but it did not defeat us.

We are strong! We are resilient! We are courageous! We will survive - for that is our desired destiny.

    I agree, we become courageous! We learn to express our pain by helping others. With an understanding that grief is a life-time healing process.

WHEN YOU KILL YOURSELF

When you kill yourself, this is what happens - you end your life and as you do you steal life from those that love you, destroy their dreams and devastate their lives of all hope. Their shattered souls and broken hearts will never heal, never mend. Your suicide will condemn them to a life sentence of endless nightmares. Their nights will be spent in a flood of tears, not until they fall asleep but until the sun rises - and a new day of sorrowful struggles and suffering begins, day after unending day. Your death will cause so much destructive damage to your family that it will be beyond repair. All will be ruin. They will remember the day you died every day in mournful misery, in sadness and sorrow, in hopelessness and helplessness - forever doomed to a life of agony and anguish. Their minds will ache in brutal pain as they abandon all hope of a peaceful life. Their lives will be spent wandering wearily, not knowing where they are or where they are going - because their life ended with ...

A LOVED ONE'S SUICIDE: WHAT IF?

  What if? Two simple words, but if you have lost a loved one to suicide - those two words, "what if," can torture and torment you relentlessly and endlessly. What if he talked to me, what if she called me, what if I stayed home, what if I called to say hello, what if I invited her out to lunch, what if I stopped by his apartment - what if? What if...two words that leave you trapped to a past you cannot change, cannot escape. And that is the life you now have to live - and as time passes and you slowly move on, there will be moments when you reflect back in time and ask yourself, what if? - as I do. What if I had joined Anne for breakfast on that Sunday morning - would she had sat on the banks of the Hillsborough River with a gun in her hand on Monday afternoon? What if?
