Even though I was not a big fan of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain so much talk about their suicides is very triggering. Anyone else feel that way?

I'm so sorry that you are struggling right now!

Sometimes it’s just sad already, when someone is an addict and then they’re gone and you wish they could have beaten it and lived a good life, one you know they were capable of living, more than capable.

Hi everyone! I am sorry for everyone's losses. My heart knows the struggle so we'll.
I lost my fiancee 5 years ago. I can't explain the pain I have felt since that day. It has forever changed me. I always speak of my life in two chapters: before the suicide and after the suicide.
I can't think about it for to long or the pain overwhelms me. I have not dealt with this grief much.
I know that finding others that can understand my grief has been so helpful in my journey. So thank you everyone who shared.

@UnclesGirl Here are links to 2 articles, from PC's archives, on the subject of surviving a loved one's suicide:

Guideposts for Surviving a Loved One's Suicide

This Side of Suicide: Using the Written Word to Cope with Loss

And then I thought I would also share with you my personal favorite, among the articles in PC's archives, on the subject of grief & loss:

What My Dog Taught Me about Grief and Loss

He took another drugs overdose, and this time he was successful. There was some evidence my Dad had tried to recsusitate him (he was a doctor). Later, at his inquest, the pathologist said it was the biggest overdose he had ever seen in his career.

My Dad didn't call anyone. Unbeknown to me he'd been fighting a case of constructive dismissal at his job and was also suffering from depression. He took an overdose of painkillers.

Some days later, when my Mother was worried because she couldn't get an answer on the phone, I opened the door to their house and found them.

If someone you love commits suicide, here are some bits of advice you might find useful.

* It's not your fault.
* That black, physical pain you feel will ease eventually.
* You may be very angry with them at times. This is normal. Don't be ashamed of it.
* Acquaintances, and sometimes even close friends will avoid you. This is because they don't know what to say, and are afraid.
* It takes time, but one day you'll wake up and it won't be your first thought. Promise.
* Just in case you missed it. It's not your fault.
* You will learn to live with it.
* If you're depressed yourself, get help.
* Be kind to yourself.

I may add other useful bits and pieces to this thread as I think of them.

Keep well, ppl :)

Thank you, This means a lot to me.
