I'm so sorry mama.

I don't have any experience of this but wanted to send you There are organisations out there, Friends and Families of Suicides is the only name I am familiar with.

I hope you find the support you need in order to grieve and heal.

I am so sorry for your loss. You are going through such a hard time right now.
I lost my brother two years ago on xmas to suicide. It was the hardest thing in my life and still is.
You will go through so many emotions, you must allow them. Things will be thought and said that you can't believe. Find support among your family and friends and allow yourself and those also mourning to do so in their own way.
Things won't get easier for a long time, but someday they will.

No advice just a

You probably have not begun to get out from the shock of it all. But when the feelings do come, get them all out and let those who care help.

I've lost three people to suicide in my life, each one equally heartbreaking and difficult to understand. My teacher, whom I was very close to and whose son I dated, hung herself in her bedroom. It was completely unexpected and shattered me. A few years later, that same son I dated and remained friends with shot himself. Finally, a friend of our family, who my brothers and sister and I considered our grandpa, shot himself a year after his wife, our granny, died of cancer. He said he was too lonely and just wanted to be with her again. Most recently, this year, my husband's aunt tried to end an addiction to painkillers by ODing. Luckily we found her in time and after some therapy and a stint in rehab, she's much better.

I know how it feels. I remember the questions, the whys, the how could theys, all of it. And although the pain lessens with time, the questions never do go away.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry for your son's loss. Hold onto him, let the feelings come and allow yourself to grieve. Anger is a normal reaction to a suicide that too many people feel guilty about and try to suppress. Working through it one day at a time, and dealing with that day's emotions is a must. I know for me, just talking to someone who understood, a friend, therapist, whatever, allowed me to get out a lot of that raw pain and anger that I felt so that I could allow myself to grieve and remember the people I loved in a better way.

to you, mama. Hang in there.

I can't speak to losing a spouse to suicide but a dear family friend committed suicide 3 years ago and I am still grappling with the whys..

I did find an organization online that had a lot of information that I found useful but for some reason the name escapes me.. I will see if I can find it and post again.

Take care of yourself and your precious child.
