A supportive site

My beautiful, talented 17 yr-old daughter ended her own life on New Years Eve 2005.  My life ended that day too.  Only I have to keep existing day after day after day with the empty space where she's supposed to be.  Nothing makes it better.  Time doesn't help.  I'm just waiting to die.
There is a supportive site at www.suicidediscussionboard.com (soon to be www.suicidegrief.com). It is specifically for those who have lost friends or loved ones to suicide.

I am so sorry about your daughter. What is her name? I do understand your pain. I lost my son to suicide on July 6 2005. I too feel like my life has ended. But I have another son who was left without his best friend. Brandon was 21 when he died and Garrett was 22 at the time. I know that I have to keep my self going for him.

There is a group called SOS (survivors of suicide) there may be one in your area. Everyone there knows how you feel. There is truley something to be said to have a place to go where everyone there has been thru the same thing as you...as horrible as it is. If there is not a group near by, there is always a phone contact person.

You just need a place to have someone hear your pain and really understand. Please don't stop reaching out.
