      It's been a very short time - don't pressure yourself to feel better yet. I'm glad you have a good support system. Sue

      From Jillsmom September 2

      The loss is so all encompassing at your stage. I read a wonderful book The One Year Book of Hope. You really do read it one day at a time for a year. It is especially good it you are a Christian. Faith is the glue that holds me together and keeping busy. For you right now it is taking one moment at a time. Take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest and remember to eat. I napped every day and sometimes still do when I have rough days. I hope you will keep writing to me. It is so hard to find a group although I do think they do have groups for suicide survivors. We all need to stick together. I hope you can find something in your day today that will make you feel good even if it is only for a moment. I agree we have to hold on to our wonderful memories of our children and the time they had with us. Sending you many hugs, Jillsmom
