You have my prayers and condolences. Now you need to take care of yourself and the rest of your family. Understand and accept that you need professional help every bit as much for mental and emotional health as you do for a broken bone. Don't e afraid to go after it if you haven't already.

I am so sorry to hear of this. There are no words that can truly comfort, and even time itself can only ease the pain! Unless someone has experienced what you have, they cannot fully understand the unbelievable pain and the thousands of times you will relive the weeks prior......asking what you could have done differently. I can only pray that through God you may have the strength to carry on and face each new day! Do not concern yourself with those that make cruel comments, as they are either completely ignorant, have never experienced this in their lives or have no soul.....perhaps a combination of the three! memtb

SOMEDAY WE’LL UNDERSTAND
Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the better land; We’ll read the meaning of our tears And there someday we’ll understand.
We’ll catch the broken thread again And finish what we here began; Heaven will the mystery explain, And then, ah then, we’ll understand.
We’ll know why clouds instead of sun Were over many a cherished plan’ Why song was ceased when scarce began ‘Tis there someday we’ll understand.
Why what we long for most of all Eludes so oft our eager hand; Why hopes are crushed and castles fall, Up there someday we’ll understand.
God knows the way, He holds the key, He guides us with unerring hand; Someday with tearless eyes we’ll see And there, up there, we’ll understand.
Then trust in God thro’ all thy days, Fear not for He doth hold they hand; Tho’ dark thy way, still sing and praise Someday, someday, we’ll understand.

Sir, may God hold and comfort your family during this nightmarish ordeal. You didn’t contemplate your son becoming your family’s Guardian Angel in heaven, but he’s there watching over you guys now. Though your time here with him was short, fifteen years is still a whole lot of time of sweet cherished memories all of you made together, and you’ll make more with him, because he’ll always be in your heart.
And one day, one day, you’ll all make memories together again, for eternity.
From a book I read, “Everyone grieves differently. Don’t let anyone ever tell any of you how you are supposed to grieve”.
The hurt will always be there. The hard part is finding some way to live with it. Cherishing those memories, and letting them put a smile back on your face after you learn to live again, is how it’s done.
Take your family outside tonight, and look up into the heavens. Those aren’t stars…those are hugs from your son, being sent down to you guys.

Man, I don’t have any words to say. All I got to offer are my prayers and sympathy. God loves you, as he loves your son. He can heal all wounds. You’ll be reunited. Until then be strong. He’ll never test you above what you can bare. I wish I had something else, but rest assured I’ll be praying for you and your family. 7mm

First: phuuck social media.
I really don't know what to say except I'm so sorry and you have my thoughts from NH.
My boy is 15..............your story hurt tremendously to read.

You are doing right by taking about your loss. I lost a GF/Companion who died by suicide,. As a result of lack of resources a Suicide Survivors Group was started at the local Hospice. Based on my experience it is a good thing to have a support group, That survivors group was made up of people whose loved one's had taken their own lives. It sure helped me. Hope you can find support like this in your community. I kinda go along with the comments here on self-blame.

I should have added this isn't God's plan or design
God loves us and doesn't send disaster down upon us even though He could
We're all human and fallible

My sister’s learning-disabled son took his own life after an incident at school. My sister brought him home and talked to him a good while, then she went outside to tend some stock and he hung himself.
A student at school, well liked, popular, good family, walked home from lunch one day and shot himself. No explanation, one knows why. There have been others
We cannot see what goes in someone else’s mind, Sir if you had only known you would have done anything to stop it, we all would.
I can only think if these kids only knew the devastation they inflicted upon those that loved them they never would have done it.
I am so sorry for your loss.

UNimagable - UNimaginable - UNcomprehendable ! ! ! !
All the thoughts and prayers others have offered with mine.
I can’t express my emptiness of words.
God is greater, God has the strength you need, God has the peace you need.
May God be WITH all your family and his friends.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

As the father of two I can't imagine the pain and grief of your loss. May the good Lord watch over you and your family. More needs to be said but I just can't find the words. God bless.
