Thank you for sharing, the questions will always be there…
but I have found that after 14 years I’ll never truly understand my fathers thinking or lack thereof. The pain suicide causes will always be with you, we just learn to accept that some questions will never have all the answers and that’s just a fact.
I do believe however, that if our loved one knew the shock, pain and hurt left behind they would have chosen a different ending. People are here with you not just surviving but learning right along side of you.
It’s still a subject that no one wants to actually deal with because it makes everyone uncomfortable but those of us left behind don’t have a choice…we have to confront the issues of suicide.
Ignorance is definitely not bliss.
Please know that there is hope after losing a loved one to suicide and continue to reach out for help, YOU could be the help that someone else needs to assist someone else in their journey. Life can be difficult but it’s worth living and loving.
At the end of the day it’s not about success or wealth, it’s about loving and investing in people and creating a better world for all of us. We choose every single day how to respond to all that comes our way…
I’m so thankful that so many have reached out about suicide, no blank stares of someone not knowing what to say… or just avoiding you, or the room going silent when you walk in…there ARE those of us that truly do understand your pain and we aren’t afraid to deal with it.🧐
