my mother's suicide, one year later

Post Reply New Topic

deconstruction, thank you for that.

Esther, i appreciate the well-wishes so much.

The-Raven, that is an awesome compliment and i am incredibly flattered. and of course i will visit!

spongy, i am happy you also chimed in. you've been my friend through the events of the last year, and your kindness and thoughtfulness have meant more to me than i can just put in a sentence. just know that you have a super-fan who appreciates you immensely. i like your phrasing - this really *is* like a "restart"!

hugs to you hyperlexian. this is an incredible story and yet you sound strong and so positive. I have lost someone to suicide now more than 10 years ago. It was terribly difficult and knocked me off my sanity for a long time.
Please keep being a mod through the changes and journeys. you're an important part of this place to me.

mntn13, you made me cry (in a good way). what powerfully positive things you have said. thank you so much, as it does really mean a lot to me. being a moderator gave me some important meaning in a very hard period. as stressful as it is, i feel good about trying to do good work on the site.

i am sorry you also lost someone to suicide. it is different from other losses somehow, as the suicidal person makes a choice in there somewhere - there's no way to just rail against fate and curse higher powers. i had to face some hard things about my own character, and i have a long way to go before i really forgive myself.

:)

Wow, I am so sorry. What a horrible thing to happen.

thank you, smudge. it really was horrible, to a degree i didn't really imagine.

I admire you very much hyperlexian and I hope things continue to improve for you. Life is a rocky road. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, I didn't know that had happened.

It's really inspiring that despite so much chaos and loss, you've managed to take control and grow and change. That's really wonderful and remarkable. I hope you're doing well. I'm sure she realized how lucky she was to have you as a daughter, even if you didn't always agree.



{I just like the hockey one and no one ever uses it and you're in Canada}

thank you sunshower. i am starting to suspect things will never be truly "easy" but at least i know it will always be bearable.

mv, i appreciate that very much. you're too kind to me! sometimes i want to throw up my hands and give up, but the problems will still be there in the morning. and thanks for the canaadian-themed smiley!! !

You seem to be speaking in Alien so I'll just wish you the best of luck on things I can relate to ( the meds thing) hopefully all goes well their , you'd be surprised what can be achieved when correctly medicated.

thank you, aussiebloke.

I'm glad your life is turning around for the better, a year on and a lot of changes. Hope the UK works out for you - I spent the first forty years of my life there. It is coming up to the birthday of my deceased mother, old memories bubble to the surface, some happy some sad. Best wishes anyway.

Now back to moderating with you... there is work to be done and spammers to be banned!

thank you Tallyman! this is a hard stretch from now 'til Christmas, but WP is like an old friend to comfort me. i hope you do ok getting through your mother's birthday too. i had a hard time on my mother's birthday also.

i am terrified about moving to another country!! !

(enough chit-chat, now i'll get back to work LOL)

there isnt much i can say that everyone else already hasnt so you have my most sincerest sympathies for your loss and im sure i speak for the whole community when i say that WP(the community itself) will always be there for you to help you through this, it has been for me.

i don't know you as well as i would like to, i talked to you a few times, but if you ever need to talk about anything i am always here, its the least i can do

again you have my sympathies for your loss i understand how painful suicide of a loved one can be, i have never really known my father but i lost the closest person i ever had as a father figure in my life to suicide last October(10/19/10), so while i can't truly know what your going through, i can understand what your going through

TheKing, your sympathies are much appreciated. sounds like you do have an understanding if someone you care about also committed suicide. thank you for offering to talk to me, that means a lot.
