I am happy you got to see your Grandchildren. They do help. The letter you wrote as a great idea. Maybe she is understanding you need the little ones & they need you. I am not on DS much lately, I am trying to keep busy. But keep me posted. Hugs & Love, Lucille

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Child15 years ago my second son was accidently shot and killed by a friend - have learned to cope. 6 weeks ago, my oldest son died of suicide - no warning signs - leaving a wife and 2 young sons.
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- I learned from past experience that I have to allow myself time to cry often.
- Getting Angry Somewhat Helpful
- At the cemetary, I scream and yell and cry, in my car.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- my 2 young grandsons are the best distraction for us all
- Music Working / Worked
- I can only listen to upbeat music; soulful music just makes me cry
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- I have read at least 6 books already - to understand suicide
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- my daughter and two grandsons are now living with us - we lean on each other
- Talking Too Soon to Tell
- find myself re-telling the incident, the disbelief, the anger, the sadness
Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide
I am an old hippie Mom with four sons, a daughter (son's widow), and two grandsons. I have been a stay-at-home most of my life and treasured being a Mom/Grandmama. 2 months, 15 days ago, my oldest son died of suicide. 15 years ago, I lost my second son to an accidental shooting. Though I have learned to cope with his death, this new death is much different to deal with.
