cubby Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Today I found out that a friend died by suicide. It brought some difficult feelings to the top. My friend died on th 7 month anniversary of my mom's death. It is difficult to even attempt to understand why this happened. She was such a loving and likeable person. I wish I could understand and be able to comfort her family, but I don't know where to begin.Cubby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Cubby, dear ~ I'm so sorry to learn this awful news. Please explore some of the resources I've listed on the Suicide Loss page of my Grief Healing Web site, as well as my Helping Someone Who's Grieving page. Articles there will guide you in how to turn your caring concern for this family into positive action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubby Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Marty, thank you very much for the links. I have read some of the information and will read all of it. I'm not sure if I can handle attending her funeral services on Friday. I haven't been in a funeral home or to a funeral service since my mom passed. I want to be there for my friend's family but I don't want to burden them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
