I tried everything to save him. He was 27.

I don't know how I am going to get through this.

Thank you all.
I have seen so much kindness and support on MN over the years.
I called Samaritans last night, but I could barely speak and they were a bit stilted. Can't be an easy thing to do.

I thought hard about posting but I need the support.

I lost a sibling to suicide when I was a teenager. I thought I had done everything in my power to raise my DC as best I could and yet here I am again.

OP. I'm crying, I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful man. What can we do ? Anything that would help? Any charity / awareness absolutely anything that would help you and your family , it may take a while to think what would work.

Words can't express how sorry I am that this has happened to you.

Xx

Post mortem is tomorrow.

We have to go and get his personal effects from the police.

DH is going to be in bits.

You poor, poor woman. I remember your previous thread.

There are no words but I couldn't read and run. So, so sorry for your loss. Love, thoughts and prayers to you and all your family.

Addiction is such a horrible illness.

Zampa · 29/08/2016 22:53

You and your family are in my thoughts.

Please don't apportion any blame on yourself.

If Samaritans are unable to support you, please try Cruse. They were wonderful to me.

endofthelinefinally · 29/08/2016 22:53

It helps to write it down.

Easier than talking.

Thank you all.

DH has gone up to bed so I will go and keep him company.

DS2 has bedded down on DD's floor for now. I don't want him to be on his own. He is only 2 years younger than DS1. His big brother for his whole life. Sad

Op that sounds good all sleeping with someone else. I'll keep watching this thread. It's times like this I wish I was religious and I'd offer to pray for you . Xx

Izzy24 · 29/08/2016 22:56

I'm so very very sorry.
This is the hardest thing of all.

The fact that you DID everything in your power and yet your dear son is lost is beyond bearing.

I am sure he was certain of the loving heart of his family.

Racheyg · 29/08/2016 22:57

Please do not blame yourself addiction is an illness.

Feel free to write everything down if it helps.

Thinking of you and your family at this sad time
