Suicide Grief Support Forum

Information and support for those touched by suicide

Skip to content

The Suicide Grief Support Forum is a public message board, an outreach project of the Parents of Suicides (POS) and Friends and Families of Suicides (FFOS) Internet Communities. The forum officially began on October 2, 2002.

Our mission is to provide information, support and comfort to anyone whose life has been touched by the suicide of another person. Connecting with others who have walked the same road can sometimes make a difference in how we survive a tragedy that may be incomprehensible.

The board is monitored by special volunteers who give freely of their time in memory of the people they lost to suicide.

We do not pretend to be professionals, and we encourage anyone whose needs are greater than can be met here to seek out professional help.

This is not a suicide or crisis hotline. Please contact a counselor, family member, friend, or emergency services if you are having suicidal thoughts.

Visit www.samaritans.org or e-mail jo@samaritans.org or www.befrienders.org for international telephone numbers.

Or in the USA, call:

1-800-SUICIDE 1-800-273-TALK
1-800-784-2433 1-800-273-8255

Six Months

Postby danielledenne » Wed May 23, 2012 9:17 pm

Its been six months since I lost my love Judah. I have ups and downs, but when Im down it is bad. I have just recently started going out again. Trying to live my life as best as I can under the circumstances. Things still don't seem real. Its like being trapped in a nightmare. Im really trying to take everything day by day, coping as best as I can. Ive become so good at lying to everyone around me about my feelings and what Im going through that Ive become numb to any kind of emotion. I know I want to move forward, not necessarily moving on bc I could never 'move on' from this, or him. I just know that I HAVE to move forward. I owe it to myself, and to him.i love him with all my heart and I will continue to love him. I try to keep his memories as close to me as possible, but sometimes the memories hurt so badly, bc they arent what I really want. I, as well as his family and friends would much rather have him beside us physically. Just to hear his laugh once more, or listen to him play music, smell him, hug him. Im sure each and everyone of us grieving would give up something, anything just to see our loved ones again. I hope everyone can find peace and even the tiniest bit of happiness in their days. A comfort of some sort, bc I know how hard the days can be. <3

(((((danielle)))))) I wish you peace and comfort as well. I can remember telling God that I would give up anything - everything - to see my son again. I'd beg him to take me instead or just take me too. It was a really hard time to get through. Somehow I managed but it took doctors, medication and therapy. They'd tell me I was stuck in the bargaining and denial phases, then tell me that was okay. What you're feeling; no one should ever feel; but it is normal. You're not alone.

I am at the seven month point and am going through a lot of what you are. I have started to force myself to go out and about again. At first I shut myself off from almost everyone but now I just force myself to go through the motions of doing those things I use to do. I'll meet a friend for coffee or I attended a jazz festival recently by myself but often doing all these things makes me miss Brian even more.

I wish you peace, contentment and some kind of normalcy again.
