Ugh. I have just run out of emotion. Last week my husband's close friend took his own life by jumping off the bridge back home. This is the 3rd death in a month. We went to the wake last night and it was an open casket. It was SO sad. It reminded me so much of when my best friend was killed 10 years ago and I had an incredibly vivid flash back, it scared the crap out of me. I feel SO drained. This is not my only experience with suicide, my ex fiance's dad took his life too and it was one of the most difficult things I have ever dealt with. I am trying so hard to support Mike right now and to not be selfish but I feel so sad for so many reasons. SO many memories are coming back and I know I need to focus on the present. I feel like an awful person. Please just pray for his family and friends for us.

I am so sorry for the loss hon.
Its never easy. You are all in my thoughts.
(((HUGS)))
You are in my prayers along with your husband, family, and friends. Death is never easy to deal with, we take one day at a time, My mom committed suicide 4 years ago....four months after that I miscarried, all I can say is allow yourself to grieve, dont be hard on yourself, you are not a awful person. Many hugs to you, and if you need to talk, I will listen!!! GodSpeed!
Saying a prayer. I am sorry...I know how a death (especially an unexpected passing) can bring back memories...I hope you will be okay.
