@bellsback My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Reach out to NAMI to help you find a support group for families who experienced a suicide of their mentally ill children.
Many support groups are out there. Get all the support you can get. You need to be with other parents who are going through, very sadly, exactly what you are now experiencing.
They are/have been in the exact place where you are now.
These are the parents who you need to be with right now. They have lived it; they truly understand the very deep pain you feel and can help you, somehow, survive your tragedy.
God Bless.

@bellsback I am sending love and prayers for strength to get thru this your way. I know this mental illness experience is agonizing for everyone involved and it seems so unfair. I can’t ever make any sense out of it myself so I think we have to give it up to God and he will help with all the suffering. Praying your son is at peace now. Please take extra special care of yourself right now. And please reach out anytime if you need to, people here care.❤️
