Hi @gramvick and @lilypaws, it is always hard to lose someone, but especially to suicide. I encourage you to join these discussions in the Loss & Grief group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/loss-grief/)

Georgette, Parus and others get it and know you don't get over it.

@gramvick I am so sorry about your losses. It's just hard to lose a son, but by suicide it makes it that much harder. My mom committed suicide too. I was married at 18 and loved this guy so much, but he was killed in a car accident 11 days after we were married. Another good friend just a Senior in High School was also killed with him. They are in my heart.
What I can't understand is why you lost many friends because you didn't get over it. It's been over 50 years and I'm have a new life now which has it's up's and down.
Have you tried to see a sychiatrist (sp) and get on something for depression. I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's hard and you will always me with our struggles together. I have a lot more.
