[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 141116, member: 3388"] Steely, I truly am at a loss for words... My heart goes out to you. I honestly don't know how to respond... I think the advice you were given about talking things over with your therapist is an excellent idea. I don't think what I'm going to tell you in any way compares to you losing your sister. It's just the only experience I have that even remotely comes close to it. I lost a very dear, close friend to suicide over twenty years ago. For a very long time, it bothered me, and even haunted me at times, that I would never understand why he did it. I felt like there was absolutely no closure. Now, many years later, I am finally able to let go of the feeling of needing to find out why it happened. It took me many, many years to do this. I didn't get any therapy to deal with it. In hindsight, I think I would have been much better off if I had. I'm glad you have a therapist to talk to. It is so, so sad that we live in such violent times... I wish I had some answers. The only thing I do have is a couple of cyber shoulders for you to lean on. Sending hugs... WFEN [/QUOTE]
