I am so very sorry. My younger son took his own life in November. It feels unreal and unbearable and just so tragic. I am finding a little comfort from a book called ‘bearing the unbearable’, but honestly I just don’t know how to do this new life

My eldest son died in November too.
The days are a rollercoaster, feelings all over the place.
I have found talking on here is helping. Other parents who have similar thoughts and I’m not alone.

So very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. We parents think we understand our adult children, but they all have their secrets. You just hope they will confide in you when it’s something really important, but even then they don’t always.

My son took his life in August and I like you didn’t see it coming. He had gone from being down to really upbeat for around a month before. I think he was happy as he’d made the decision to save himself from depression and it was going to be over. I’ve read somewhere that they are at ease with their choice and happy it’s going to be over. It gives me no comfort knowing that as all I want is my precious son back . Take care x

Mental illness is so overlooked in this country, when I got the coroner’s report it said he’d stopped engaging with the GP so why weren’t steps taken to make sure he was ok? They should have at least contacted the crisis team.
