recent suicide in family, what now?

Question

anyone have comments, suggestions?

why did it have to be this way
no one knew of your pain each day
now you are gone and we are sad
every parent knows to bury kids is mad

life so long yet cut so short
grief so strong, I must report
now we will be together again
the family gathers holding hands

why does it take this for us to be
together only so often and not happily
maybe there will be closure for all this time
and we can live now, forward, and life sublime

each day a gift a chance to love
each other equally ,no one above
each day is new, clean slate to live
but for others our heart and being we give

thanks Russian

at times like this, we are reduced to being a 3 year old because we don't know why one would do this to self, 27 years old and only brother

if this was fiction, I would use better words but since it's for real, sorry man it's just from the heart as whatever tribute to this cool guy that is now gone

the Pope - great answer

'Remember that their life was not all about the end - it was about their living.'

as we were going through the pics to put in a collage, I had to push them away. He did live a great life, and although gone now we have the good memories and hope something is salvageable. there was a huge family fued he was an innocent bystander to, a divorce, a sexual scandal, his own divorce, and mounting debts that led to his choice. in between he was a really great guy. Isaac you will be missed

Answer 1

The sudden death of a suicide will be difficult to cope with. I am sorry for your loss. The mourning process has no limit. Remember that their life was not all about the end - it was about their living. Their love, and their joy. But, know that it was also their time. That they are at home now. Once again, I am sorry for your loss.

Answer 2

I don't know the details of your loss, but I have also lost a family member to suicide. It gives a whole new twist to the pain of losing a loved one. Just remember the bible offers a hope for you to see your loved one again in the resurrection. Acts 24:15 states: "and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. "

I know you still feel the pain, sorrow, anger, maybe even misplaced feelings of guilt...but these feelings will lessen. Just cling to that promise offered in the bible.

Answer 3

Well, just try to move forward as best you can.

Unfortunately, these things tend to cascade in families. My family suffered three suicides in the space of five years. Do not let yourself get to that point. Recognize taht you and your other family members are at risk simply because it has already happened. Seek help if you feel you or anyone else needs it.

Answer 4

The chances are very good that Issac will be resurrected after Armegeddon. The choices for all of you is whether or not you will be there to welcome him back. Put God's will first in your life and perhaps you will survive. Meanwhile, know that God loves you all and understands your pain and suffering.

Answer 5

People say that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.....but they are saying this without knowledge of WHAT the specific problem is. Maybe this person's problem was the nature of life.

All you can do, is move on and not forget about the positive things this person did for your life.

Answer 6

My father killed himself when I was 13 years old, never gave it a chance, and did not realize that it is not a way out.
You have to Go to God for this, and Go to the Bible and what you need to know The Lord will tell you.

Answer 7

Very sorry for your loss. Pray to the Lord, for he will comfort you in your sorrow . Just let yourself feel whatever it is you feel. If poetry helps you grieve this loss, then write poetry. God Bless You and your family.
