I am so sorry to hear this. My oldest is about thank you's age and the thought of him in such distress is saddening.

On another note, if she had a gun when she came to your home at 4 AM, she could have been planning a murder-suicide and it's a good thing that thank you didn't let her in or she could have hurt him and the rest of you.

Best wishes for quick and complete healing for thank you, Diva and the rest of you.

So sad for her and so scary for him. Definitely don't let him deal with this on his own. I'm not always a big fan of counseling but this is one time it seems not only appropriate but almost mandatory.

Yeah her parents arent helping but maybe the friends that she and thank you had together could have their own sort of wake together. He needs to be able to mourn her loss in some sort of public way with a group..like a wake and funeral and if he cant do that with the real one, he should do it with his friends and family.

Im also pretty glad she didnt get in that night because of the gun. That could have been a huge tragedy where you are writing about something even worse.

Horrible night.

B was a gentle spirit - wouldn't have hurt thank you, physically, ever. Wouldn't have hurt us. The gun was her parents'. She was at their home.

I'm thinking we may go to her grave this weekend, or maybe next. I've never been one for funerals or grave-visiting, but we're all stuck in this suspended state right now, like it cannot possibly be real. She's going to come in the front door any second, with her wonderful laugh and brilliant smile.

thank you stayed at a friend's house last night. He needed to be around people and ... I think he can't stand my worry and grief. I really *really* tried to tone it down when he got home, but I guess it wasn't enough. Full force still hasn't hit him, I think.

Sorry - rambling. Still keep thinking this cannot possibly be real.

Oh my Sue,
I am so very sorry to hear that suicide has touched your family. What a tradgedy.
My thoughts and prayers are with your thank you, you, Diva, husband and the girlfriend family and friends too.

I can only imagine just how surreal the situation is and I agree with others who have mentioned getting in touch with a therapist or grief specialist. I think it will take some time to sort through all of the pain and come to a healthy resolution...healing.

More prayers for all ...
with love and care,
LMS

I am so very sorry. I understand your shock and sorrow, I too have been touched by suicide. Look for suicide support groups for your family, they help. Counseling helps, there is a lot of anger and blame associated, please get thank you some help so he doesn't take this on. I am so sorry, my prayers are with you and your family and the family of the girlfriend.

So generous of you to try to understand why he can't come to the wake. I suppose the fact that they had guns with a mentally unstable person in the home just can't be faced. I hope thank you understands it is just their grief driving that, he cannot be held responsible for her choice. Such a blessing that he has you to explain that to him and has your support to go through this. It amazes me that anyone would threaten him when enough damage has already been done here. My heart breaks for him. It is a good idea to go visit the grave once everything settles down and you can say goodbye in private with thank you and your other children. Will say prayers for all involved, and for your mommy heart.

Odd...there is an ad on this page for a website to create a free memorial website to remember your loved one. Dont know if that is something thank you and his friends would like to do but the web addy is forevermissed.com

Check with the funeral home. Some are now sharing the funeral live over the net, so that those who can't come, can still watch and listen.

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the grief and worry that you are experiencing. I feel so bad for thank you and the poor girl's parents. How awful for all.

Sue this is so devastating for everyone, you included. I'm not trying to find blame but I agree with buddy that her parents should be more understanding and look at their own part in this. Having guns in the house especially with unstable adolescents is a recipe for disaster. And yet they did not cause this so they should understand that neither did thank you.

I'm so sorry for all of your pain.
