I Needed .this. My 13 year old beautiful granddaughter was not successful in her suicide attempt and for that I am grateful. After being in a Mentak Behavior hospital for 3 weeks she was just released to residence care. I am so very grateful I got to visit her on a Thanksgiving Eve. I hugged her and told her how much I love her. She is on her way to recovery but it will take time . I am so very grateful for her. She is my only ganddaughter was trying to b perfect with good grades and all the activities in school. She had some setbacks and could not handle it. I am grateful for her.

Your granddaughter is so fortunate to have you in her corner and cheering her on!
Perfection is a hard goal to attain and usually results in setbacks. I'm glad to hear that she is on the road to recovery.
Wishing you and her well.

@damlady2, mental health and teens - it is so hard to watch them struggle. I can imagine how special that hug was to both of you. She may not be able to always show how much she loves your love, but I'm confident that she relies on its unwavering steadfastness.

My 13 year old granddaughter is now in residential care after after a suicide attempt and anorexia. She was in a Behavioral hospital for a month. My prayer is for to realize how beautiful and how loved she is by family and friends and not listen to the voices in her head. She is still self harming and losing weight. I am thankful she is receiving treatment from a respected care team.

Your granddaughter has a wonderful grandmother.
She is blessed to have your love.
You will be a good role model for her... by sharing your experiences with her... some successes, some not so!
My daughter was a scholar and a heavily recruited athlete. She became very thin and her pediatrician talked to her about a healthy weight.
We learned that my daughter was being bullied by a ‘friend’ who was academically successful, but who was not successful as an athlete.
Communication is so important with our growing children.
I look forward to a post from you telling us that your granddaughter is doing well.
