I'm starting this group in the hopes of finding others out there who are in my unique situation - having lost my entire immediate family before 30. My mother passed when I was 13 after a six year battle with breast cancer, and my father died of lung cancer when I was a sophomore in college. This past New Year's my sister committed suicide, leaving me as the sole survivor of my family.
Ideally I would like to start some sort of meet-up in New York, but I'm not sure how many people will stumble upon this post. If you're out there, I'd love to connect.
I hope it's okay to post here... I feel as if I've lost my whole family, though my dad is still physically alive. He has MS and dementia, and his health and mental well-being have severely declined.…Continue

Hey Bill - I caught the irony there as well... it's a pretty alienating experience, which is why I came on this site to begin with. Definitely appreciate you reaching out - I've just relocated to Austin and figure I might as well start with a suicide support group. Thank you for the kind words, and I hope you're moving forward through whatever loss you are dealing with too.
Jessica: I hope you'll forgive me for joining, even if only temporarily, as I do not "qualify" - but I was so touched by your situation and found it sadly ironic how even on this site you are still alone (the only member of the group) that I felt compelled to reach out simply to offer my sympathies and an ear, if you wished, as I can relate to loneliness as I have known plenty, though I appreciate it's not the same as yours of course. Again, for whatever it's worth. I'll check back off and on in case you want me to exit the group, or want to talk at all. Regardless, I am so sorry for your losses and wish you the well in this hardest of paths to try and (again) navigate...
