My son turned my carry gun on himself

[Lady45]

BluesBear and I send our prayers and sympathies in this most trying of times to your family.

To those of us left behind, it seems impossible to understand the rationale of what causes one to commit suicide....what pain or confusion or depression or unhappiness ...or whatever could bring someone to that end. The only reality is that God does not give us children as possessions...we are their teachers and guides only....and for whatever time we have them....we are blessed. (except for the terrible twos, the trying threes, the puberty.....) just a light note there... Cherish the time you had and never forget the good times. Remember him in his finest hours and seek some help to mourn your loss...be it from a minister, a therapist...or just self-help books at the library or bookstore....but take care of you and your wife. The rest time and God will take care of.


Again, you will be in our prayers.

Lady45 and BluesBear

No words can express my feelings at your loss, as a parent myself it's
overwhelming to think of. My one hope is that America can at sometime
begin to focus on why so many of our young people seem to be in so
much pain, it is very troubling to this old person.

At times like this, I feel really stupid because I don't know what to say, or if I should say anything at all.

My thoughts are with you even as I type this. My sincere condolences to you and yours.

I am at a loss for words. It is sad to say but even with treatment it is not uncommon for people to still take their own life. Where I work suicidal inmates are placed in medical and checked at least every 15 minutes and only released when the crises is over. Yet a week or two later they still take their own life. I hope you experience no guilt...as human beings we have limits.

 

[Mal H]

Very, very sorry and saddened to hear that. My condolences to you and your family.

I know how he must have felt. The only difference between your son and me is that he did it... he's gone... I know it can't make you feel better, but it's hard... Depression is a murdering disease. I hate it... I'm trying to think of words, but... my mind is swirling with thoughts. It's like being stuck in the darkness, and everything is going too fast, and too slow. It's like everything you love turning into everything you hate... I'm probably not making any sense, but I'm trying to connect with how your son felt when he did such a thing... but it's hard to do sometimes. Your son was in darkness... I only hope that in death he will be shown light. Damn this disease.

I'm sorry. I would write more but I'm starting to cry. Please, God, have Mercy on his soul... Don't punish him, he was in his own hell.

[Harbinger]

I'm so sorry, sir.

 

[FPrice]

My prayers for you and your family that God will help you through this time of grief.

 

[armoredman]

God bless you, and keep you close in this time of trial. May He hold you and yours in His hand, and show you the path to healing. May He place your son at His right side, for the reunion to come. Amen.

My son did it with pills.
If there are other ,especially younger chiildren in the family it is important to watch them and probably get some counceling. Statiatics show that it runs in families, and family groups, usually down to the younger impressionable members.
My heart goes out to you I know what you are going through

 

[Gixerman1000]

I am very sorry.

 

[grislyatoms]

I can't even imagine.

For once, I am at a loss for words.

May the Lord shine his Grace on you and yours.

 

[fourdeuce82d]

I am sorrier than I can ever express. I am sorry for your son, and sorry for you and your wife.

Prayers, thoughts, condolences sent your way.

 

[BryanP]

"Sorry" and "condolences" just sound so hollow, but that's all I can say. God be with you.
