For the life of me sir I can not express my sorrow for you and your entire family. So sorry for your loss. ^^^^ This! Cant even imagine being in the shoes of the OP. Please take any assistance that you or your family members may need to even in a small way help you cope with this tragedy.

I am so incredibly sorry to hear this news. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I can’t imagine it.
My wife is a grief counselor. Please consider finding one for you and your family. What you all are dealing with is terrible and it might truly help.
You sound like an awesome Dad by the way. Try not to hold on to any guilt about what happened.

OMG I can't even imagine your sadness! Bless you and your family. I don't know what else to say other than to say that I'll say a prayer for you.
I live for my kids and love them more than I do myself. Try to stay strong.

I don't have any words that will help your pain and for that I'm truly sorry. I can't imagine having to go through this, I am praying you and your family will eventually find peace.

May he rest in peace, and find the comfort he could not recognize here....My heart goes out to your entire family,
Even with these few carefully chosen words, Make no mistake,
I cant even begin to feel or understand the pain and emptiness in your life right now.
think of him during the good times, the smiles, the laughs, the memories you shared,
It won't be near enough, but possibly provide a few moments of peace....
Stand Tall, just please, continue to stand Tall.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Just remember, you as a man are responsible to do your best for your family. Things happen beyond our control, and we just have to accept that.
You have a wife and a daughter that need your strength more than ever. Helping them, will help you.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

I hope everyone takes heed reading this especially parents. I agree. I had a friend’s wife who was psychiatrist tell me at a neighborhood BBQ when my daughters were in their early teens that a lot of her practice was dealing with kids who get “injured” by online issues via social media. My kids were there when she recommended that I not allow them on social media until they were old enough and mature enough to deal with the impacts of social media.

devnull, I was where you are about five and and half years ago.
I have no real words of wisdom, am still processing my own loss, and assume that I always will be.
We have an epidemic of despair among young people in this country and we are "treating" it with the holy water of that good old "river in Egypt"--denial.
"Mental health" is simply HEALTH, and should be as much of a priority for everyone, not something to deny, scorn, or blame, as we have done all my life.
A dead American kid is just as dead from suicide as a dead American kid from a Taliban IED, and we need to spend as much concern--and resources--on the one as on the other.
We put such a high priority--and pay such a high price tag--on "national security" while virtually ignoring just how insecure many of us obviously are.
My thoughts and prayers are indeed with you. But we need to get past that and start doing something. As a nation. It's not a problem for some one group--it's national.
