I lost my only child of 16 on 12/0/2002. I witnessed his suicide. My life has been forever changed. He sends butterflies from time to time and I get little signs, nothing like I wish I could get, but no matter what signs or feelings we get, it will never be enough. We have to realize that our child is forever in our hearts and nobody can take away our memories. My heart goes out to everyone. This is such a difficult time of the year when you have lost your child. I have found talking to other parents who have lost their child the best therapy ever. These parents are truly the only people who understand how we feel. I am so sorry for your horrific loss. I lost my only child of 16 on 12/0/2002. I witnessed his suicide.

I am a survivor of a murder/suicide. My father killed my mother, uncle, wounded my aunt, and then came to my work and killed himself. I am a christian. I love Jesus with all that I have, but it is very difficult to understand the guilt and shame that goes along with such violence entering your life when you try very earnestly to do what Jesus would want. Anyway, yours words helped somewhat. Thank you for writing you blog. I am a survivor of a murder/suicide.

My only child recently died of suicide, shortly after her graduation from medical school. I am a Christian, and have questioned her salvation. I hope she cried out to the Lord before she died. At times I feel I will not be able to survive this pain, but so far I have. Your piece helped tonight. Thank you for writing this.
