My God. I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry.

I've had a lot of suicides around my life from the time I was a teen. Family members, friends, roommates. It was a burden I carried for a long time. I have had to make my peace with it in my own way. Now my son, age 10 makes suicide jokes and offhand comments referring to it from time to time. I don't know why. A part of me fears that he will go down that dark road. I can't imagine how horrific it must be. I wish I could say something to make it something beside what it is. Just know that my heart goes out to you.


I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.
