Bereavement

I can’t imagine what it has been like for you…and I’m glad you chose this forum to post about your son. It’s safe here. Battling multiple mental diagnoses is so so difficult. I’m sure it was hard for your son and I know it was hard for you to watch your child struggle.

My mother made several attempts at suicide throughout my life. When she was in a bad place, I used to hustle home from school in case she had died so my younger siblings wouldn’t be the ones to find her. She finally succeeded in leaving the planet by suicide in 2009. It is a terrible loss and there are so many emotions survivors are left with.

I wish I could hug you. I know these days are hard. I think honoring your son by making Texas a better place in his memory is so very brave.
