Lyndsey, my heart goes out to you. I lost my boyfriend of 3 years to suicide in Feb 2011. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I cannot know what you are going through, having lost your husband of 5 years, but I can imagine.

Have you tried a support group for those who have lost a loved one to suicide? I do not know if there is one near to you, but you can search by zipcode here

http://www.afsp.org/coping-with-suicide/find-support/find-a-support...

I found such a group helpful. I also isolated myself, but I found being with others with a similar loss in person helped. Not many people know what to say to someone who has lost a loved one, let alone one lost by suicide.

I found this book helpful - Understanding Your Suicide Loss by Alan Wolfelt, PhD

I am glad you found this site and reached out. You are not alone.

Sandy

Lyndsey,

Sorry for your loss.  My wife recently passed away and tomorrow will be 3 months since.  The pain is indescribable.  I wish we as humans never have to go through such pains.  I want to isolate myself from others as well.  I am so tired.  I can't sleep and refuse to eat.  I missed my wife so much.  She was turning 24.  I am no longer the motivated person just like you are, I've lost all motivation in life.  I cry every morning before work and cry every night before bed.  Last night I've cried and woke up and realized, my tears have been crystalized.

I wish I can help you.  I wish someone can also help me, but I know no one can.  Life is not the same and will never be the same.  Sorry if I sound depressed as today is very depressing for me.

Hollowed,
