Some Personal Notes
Grieving a Suicide Loss
The grieving process is tough enough, but it becomes even more complicated when dealing with the loss of a loved one to suicide. This unique type of grief often brings an overwhelming mix of emotions, including sadness, guilt, anger, and confusion.
It can be hard to accept the reality of such a loss, as many are left grappling with unanswered questions and feelings of "what if."
It has been almost 3 years since my son Joey took his own life, and I still keep hoping that it was a horrific nightmare and my son will text or call soon.......
but that never happens,
he is gone and in my mind, I lose him again.
Tragedy Notes
My son texted me on Thanksgiving weekend 11.24.22 asking if me and his brother would like to come to his house for a "mini Thanksgiving," and of course I was so excited because he and his family are pretty busy all the time with work and kids, so this was a fantastic invite, I immediately got some snacks/food to take over to the house.
You never think it could happen to you and your family, suicide was other peoples nightmare not mine, and BAM, 11.27.22 about 2:30pm
I get that call from my in laws and ex husband, that my son was going off the rails mentally and not answering calls,
he went to a sporting goods store and bought some ammo.
