Please know that I am thinking of you - you have been through a tremendous amount of stress recently - when you say BIL did it - are you talking about suicide? Please tell me I am wrong. If your H was not over the edge before, if suicide is the case, then he will be now and I know this will affect you negatively as well. There are no right words to say - I can only offer condolences and love to you and your family (including you beloved dog) - may God bless you all.
Yes, WTSMM, that is what I mean, and that's what he did. H is 2.5 hours away, and not reachable by cell - I think he's spending the night up there. I will wait and see if I hear from him again. I am so sorry that H and other brother found this brother. I wish someone else had found him. Thank you for your prayers. His family will need them.
I would if he asks me. I don't even know where exactly he is. I really don't have any choice but to wait and see if he calls me from a pay phone or a land line. It's pretty remote.
Azure, I am so sorry for your loss. Maybe you can take comfort in not having to sit and wait not knowing where he was. I'm praying for you. Please keep us posted.
Oh, Azure, I am so sorry too. When you can, please make sure you emphasize to the family the biological nature of depression. People can get so caught up in looking for explanations, and blaming, and being mad at the person who committed suicide - it is SO important for people to understand the biological illness, that it's really not the fault of the person who committed suicide, it's a terrible disease that drives them to this. I'm so grateful my H finally sought help when he started feeling suicidal, and that he responded so quickly to treatment.
I was hoping for the best for your H and his family, and I'm sorry to hear of this. You already know a lot that will help, when H is ready. I hope you at least attempt to take care of yourself, if nothing else to keep you strong for all the support you will be giving.
Puts things into persepctive a bit for me.. I all of the sudden don't care what my H is doing. Here's a long hug. ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) jenhoco let me know if you need to talk, I will get you my number.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me, other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me, what a long, strange trip it's been. -- Grateful Dead
Azure, I am so very sorry. This is what you all feared and also hoped would not be the case, but here it is. I will keep you and your H's family in my prayers. What a terrible thing to be facing.
And.....you? How are you doing?
Thinking of you and *all* that has happened this year.
