Suicide, A Personal story.

[Big V]

My heart goes out to you and your Daughter.

 

[EROS]

My heart continues to go out to Caitlyn and yourself. I can understand your DH's decision to kill himself; no one should have to endure escalating pain and feel that he/she is burdensome to a family. Unlike most people here, I support physician-assisted suicide.

I hope that time will bring the two of you its rich powers of healing........

Take Care,

Robin, I'm so glad you posted. It's good to "hear" how you are doing. How wonderful that Dan left poems and letters.

Take care,

It does take one day at a time Robin. I am finding out that no matter how a loved one has passed on - it's hard. And at first it was hard but it was a different kind of hard. As the time goes on you have more time to reflect and think - and sometimes that is good and sometimes it's not. But I am finding that farther away from death it does get harder - I find myself questioning alot more about why and how and why didn't we have more clues that it was happening.

Hang in there Robin - cry as much as you need to - and hug Cait as much as you can!!!! But also remember to keep loving the memory of Dan!

I am so sorry for what you are both going through. I don't know what else to say but that I am so sad for you!

 

[DisMNagain]

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. How horrible it's been and my heart breaks for you and your child.

Bravo Eros. There is nothing wrong with wanting to check out early and with the help of a caring and compassionate doctor, that should be a choice given to all who might want or need to do so.

Again, please know you'll be in my thoughts often.

Do you have some sort of support system (family, friends, church?) to help you thru the holidays?

Robin, your post brought tears to my eyes. I can't even imagine what your life has been like these past weeks. You sound like a very strong person with a lovely little girl and my prayers are with you both.

Many good thoughts and prayers for you and Caitlyn. Nobody knows themself how they would deal with a situation like Dan's, so it's hard to pass judgement. My FIL committed suicide and even though many looked upon him as selfish (he was VERY selfish in his living) in some ways, it may have been the most unselfish act he could have done, because his wife and kids can live in peace now.

Robin - I am at a loss for words. Hang in there. You & Caitlin continue to be in my prayers.

Robin,

I wish I had words.......you and Caitlyn are in my thoughts and prayers. God be with you both. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Robin, i also wish the best for you and your daughter and the pain you and your daughter are experiencing at this time. I have dealt with sucides on the front end and have seen how it affects the families and have later dealt with the same families as they have dealt with the grief over their loss. I hope the best for you and your family and my only reccomendation would be it dont be afraid to get counseling if you feel its needed for you and your daughter as this type of loss is very hard to cope with.

I am so sorry for your pain and loss, Robin. I hope all the good people of the Dis have helped you a little in dealing with all this pain.

I have no words, Robin. Only lots of {{{{hugs}}}} and support for you and Caitlyn. Take care.

Oh, Robin - I am so sorry!!! My father had cancer which took his life at age 42 - he said many times that he wished he could just end it all, but he just couldn't because of my Mom and I. I hope your daughter does remember the good times, not the bad. His suffering is over and he can be at peace now. All three of you will be in my thoughts.

God bless you and your little one.

HUGS to you and Caitlyn.

Hugs and prayers for you and Caitlyn, that you'll continue to find the strength to deal with this terrible loss.

It sounds as if Dan was very special, and very loving. I hope that your memories bring you comfort.

Robin, please know that you and Caitlyn are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish that I knew the right words to comfort you and take your pain away. All I know is that you need to take the time to grieve and just don't hold it in. You will be much better off in the long run.
