Sharing my pain with you guys
Five years ago today I woke up to my worst nightmare. My only son, had taken his own life. Unless you have lived through the loss of a child, it's an impossible feeling to understand. We had a good relationship (at least I think we did), shared the same name, sense of humor, taste in music, and movies. Almost everything. Like any father/son relationship we had some tough times, but always worked through it quickly. I always apologized when I was wrong, and couldn't have loved him more.
I can't believe it's been 5 years. It's like the world keeps spinning, and moving into the future, while I'm still stuck on Jan 29, 2010. He was 11 days from turning 17 when he passed, he was just days away from watching his favorite team the Colts play in the Super Bowl. His future was so bright, and he had so much going in his favor, so I'll never understand exactly why he felt taking his own life was his only alternative. I still cry about it a lot, my head is still messed up, and will never be the same. Time doesn't heal ALL wounds. If you care to watch it, here's a video I made for him. http://youtu.be/zWoyr7jU6Gc I love you TJ, and miss you every single day. I will mourn your death until the day we are finally reunited. |

So sorry for your pain. Lost my brother almost 3 years ago to overdose/suicide. Keep working to get better and understand you have the right to grieve however long it takes. Sharing this is a great step forward. Going up to hug my son now. Be a friend to yourself man.

This would have to be the worst pain imaginable.
I have one child. A son. He's 16. If something happened to him, you may as well lock me away because I would be useless to everyone. I'm sorry for your loss. |

Thanks everyone. If it wasn't for having 2 daughters that need me around I surely wouldn't have made it. Right after he passed I was on the verge of joining him. I can't even put into words the pain that comes from this type of loss. Now I try and stay as positive as possible with all other aspects of my life. It's all I can do, keep moving forward, keep smiling so you don't see the pain inside. We all have our hardships in life, and nobody leaves here unscarred. One love!

I am so sorry for your loss. My nephew passed away last Jan 20th from a roll over crash. I think about him all the time but its nothing compared to what my brother is going though. Its just not right for your kids to leave this earth before you....

My son who technically is a TJ although I call him Ty lost his dad to suicide. He tells me it's okay because heaven isn't just for dead people. It's also for people that still want to live but had trouble doing it here.
His dad is having fun adventures somewhere else. So is your son.

Personal question before I elaborate on this any further. Was he a victim of bullying, and did that play a role? |

That is almost the worst thing imaginable.
My daughter had a staph infection and my ass almost melted down. I'm quite certain I don't have the fortitude to deal with what you have. I'm sorry for your loss brother. |
