Suicide of a child

Hello Mandy, well done for starting this new thread, hope the grans who contributed to the other older thread find this.
We were in touch a short time ago. It’s early days, take each one at a time

So sorry for you. I personally have not had this experience but a friend did. I cannot imagine your pain and will pray for you.

So deeply sorry.
I have no words but am sure others with more experience of this tragic topic will be along soon.

I am sure someone will be on soon with practical information to try to help you through this.
All I can send is my good wishes.

So very sorry Mandymoo, I cannot imagine anything worse.I do hope there is a help line you can access. I know its one minute, one hour at a time at first, there is nothing you could have done, it’s such a terrible shock to you and his family. Hope others come forward and wish I had the right words.

I send my condolences.

We have not lost a child to suicide, but across the years my biological father, my maternal grandfather and my sister-in-law all took their own lives and left behind devastated and guilt-ridden family.

I know there are specialist online services specially set up by and for parents affected by child suicide and specialist counselling services.

I wish you all the very best

I am very sorry for your loss. It must be the worst thing ever. I lost my son last year, but not to suicide.

Oh Mandymoo it would kill me. I really feel so sorry for anyone facing this. my friends son did this at age 21 he had absolutely everything a lad could wish for, a very well off family, he’d had a very good education and exceptional holidays , cars etc etc He rang his mum and told her he was going to kill himself, she rushed there but he’d already done it
Totally heartbreaking
Sending you a handhold x 💐

Oh Mandymoo - I have no words
