on august 18th at around 10 to 10:30 pm i recieved a phone call from my mother that my aunt had hung herself.  i am struggling with this so much.  I had just seen her the night before on my husband's birthday.  My mother was throwing a bbq for him and she came over crying because she was upset at her man.  this is her 4th bad relationship.  the thing i am struggling with is i am torn between saddness and anger.  i just feel like i want to yell at her because she was so selfish.  she was a second mother to me and my bestfriend in the whole world.  i can't stop crying and yet i still want to yell.  so i guess what i am asking for is some advice if this is normal to be so angry?  the pic is of her and her oldest son cryingmark.

I am so sorry for your pain. suicide is heartbreaking to deal with. i think the feelings you are describing/experiencing are completely normal & a healthy part of the grieving process. I wish you strength & courage in this devastating time. my prayers are w/you & your family.

oh yes it is normal to be angry. Dont feel guilty about feeling angry at all. I know where you are coming from its hard because you didnt get to say goodbye or even have a say in the matter. I dont want to say it will get better because it has to get worse before it gets better. You are in my thoughts

if there is a local hospice in your area call for free grief groups and suicide groups- these can help you to talk over your feelings.  i'm so sorry for you and your family.
