How is this happening again????

I lost my only brother/best friend to suicide 6-12-01. We were 18 mths apart and very close he died when he was 18 I thought at the time that his death was all I could handle. For the eight years following his death my dad and I tackled the issue of suicide and I still have a law suit against Teddy's high school. My Dad and I were always close but when Teddy died he and I had a common bond more than ever and became best of friends. We celebrated and morned Teddys 8th anniversary on 6-12-09, little did I know I was losing my dad 6 very short days later!!!!! He was at my cabin on 6-18-09 cutting a tree down and it broke free crushing him instantly! I am physically sick about this!!!!

Oh my, my brother died 6-12-01. I am so sorry.

Talking and sharing helps as well as posting pics. Do you have some pics to post? I would love to see them.
Do you live alone?

Lisa - I am so sorry for your loss. Suicide is a terrible thing to try to understand - I lost my father to suicide when I was nine. It will never make sense. The unexpected death of a loved one is also a terrible thing. I lost a husband I was separated from in 2006 - he drank himself to an early grave at 36. A suicide of sorts. On 5/16/09, my special friend Bob, literally dropped dead of an anuerism. One minute he was smiling having a great time at the Blessing of the Bikes in Baldwin - the next minute he was gone.

No answer for you on how to get through it - I'm still working on it myself. Some mornings it is all I can do to pull myself out of bed to start the day. While I'm laying there trying to figure out why I should have to get out of bed, I remember that I have friends, family, two kids, people who love me and need me - and I am so fortunate to have that. It doesn't make it easier but it gives me a reason to get up.

I feel so bad for heard about your loss. Lost of loved one is very painful and difficult to accept this grief. Its really hard time for your and your family. It should be a big loss for you.
My father lost his brother 3years ago and my father was difficult to deal with this grief. Sometimes very bad things happened in our life and we can't forget it. My prayers and condolences for you.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
