I lost my Son

Post by Mary L »

I just want to start by saying I LOVE this forum. I am on every day, I'm mostly a lurker. I feel like I know all of you.

On Monday I lost my son, he committed suicide, he was 20 years old. He leaves behind his daughter who is 17 months old. I am in total shock ( I can't even cry ).
Tomorrow is the funeral and I know that is when I'm going to lose it. Please say a pray for my son Bernie.

Here is a picture of him taken in STJ in July 2004

I am so very sorry for your loss Mary. I have only one child - a 19 year old son - and I can only imagine the shock and pain you and your family must be experiencing.

I am so sorry.
Peace,

Mary, I hope that it helps to know that there are many people here that are sending prayers, hugs and love your way. May God give you the strength to get through this very painful time. How greatful you must be to have your little granddaughter. You will always have a piece of your son in her. I pray that your memories of him and the joy of having her helps you through the coming days and weeks. Hugs and God bless.

Words can never express your loss. May God guide you and your family through these difficult times. As so many people have said on this forum, we are family - and we all share in your sorrow. My wife and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy and our prayers will be with you.

My deepest sympathy, Mary. I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for you, especially tomorrow.
I can't even begin to understand what you are going through. I have a teenage daughter and I don't know how I would cope if something like this happened to her. God Bless you. Talk to us on the forum if that helps you.
