Loss and Grief: How are you doing?

Thanks for the insight on anticipated grief. My son planned his suicide for a year and discussed his plans with me constantly. I sent a mobile crisis team to his home in another state. They went to see him and did not take him to the hospital . he called me and screamed at me cause I sent them. He was dead two days later.

No pain like it! I was with Mary after it happened and it took me a while to understand what was going on. I'm a slow learner I guess. Never understood emotions like that, painful stuff which thankfully few have to endure. I understand empathy now as opposed to apathy. Don't understand some things still, don't understand traitors, when someone betrays me I usually just walk away, to hard to deal with.
My heads still foggy, I may have written something already. Anyway I have dealt with my wife for 22 years over the death of her son by suicide. It's not an easy thing to go through, guess love does it. Sometimes she'd make me crazy but I never got mad at her. There was other grief and I helped her with her hatred for Clints father. He was a cop and thought his son was crazy so he 5150'd the guy which mad him more angry. He did it on Easter Sunday which is coming up soon. I can't figure if I should say something to Mary. She was pretty mean to me the way she left me.
Anyone out there have a clue? Should I send a card or just forget it? My tendency is to just let it be. I don't think she cares and she's with her son and they have a strong relationship. Used to amaze me because I never got that. Mom was a busy lady with 13 of us.
