  1. Very sorry to here this.
    You have already started reaching out and that is the best advise I can give. You will need peoples help to get thru it. I am sure you where a better dad than you think. You cant walk others paths for them.
    Stay buisy too.

    Man, what can I say?

    Just know that if you need anything you can call any of us.
    See if there is a grief counselor in your area that specializes in suicides.

    We're praying for you here at the HAMB Chapel.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. Please don’t blame yourself for this. Mental illness is a tough thing for people to understand until they’ve been there themselves. You wouldn’t blame yourself if he broke a leg or developed cancer. It’s no more you fault that he had mental issues that led him to this point of despair. I have been there and it wasn’t anyone’s fault. I don’t pray often but today I will for you and your son.

    'Condolences' seem so hollow, but know that we're all praying for you and your family. If you ever need to talk to someone, just to have someone listen, PM me and I'll give you my phone number to call me any time of the day or night. You're not to blame for this and you need to talk to someone and get things clear in your mind - It's NOT your fault. People handle things in different fashions and some people just can't handle things at all.

    We're all here to help and we're praying for you all.

    My condolences to you, your family and his girlfriend. Please go to counseling and get assistance - either through church our a grief counselor. My wife has attempted suicide on more than one occasion (bipolar) and the greatest harm I did to myself was try and "man up", be the pillar and not show emotion. It was really too much for me to bear and when I finally opened up to a counselor I realized how much I was hurting. I am now man enough to admit that being a man includes being human and asking for assistance when needed. Best wishes and remember we are all here for you.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. I lost a brother years ago; talking about it with people I know helped more than anything.

    Don't blame yourself, it will only make things worse for you.

    So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my 36 year old son six years ago. You never get over the pain. I would like to recommend a great organization called Compassionate Friends. The are an organization of parents who've lost children. They DO know your pain and will welcome you with open arms. My prayers are with you and your family.
