Just called - Dad committed suicide

[WomanWithAWo]

He’s gone. I’m due in a couple of weeks. I got the call literally five minutes ago. I don’t know what to do.

I’m very sorry for your loss. Deep breaths, call your partner or a friend for some support.

Sorry for your loss, op

So sorry for your loss. That's so incredibly heartbreaking. Do you have anyone close by for support? 💐

I'm so sorry

Hi Op,

I’m so sorry. I went through a similar experience when I was 38 weeks pregnant. CID turned up and informed me my Dad had passed away following suicide. I visited him the following day and 2 days later my waters broke. As I was in hospital giving birth, my Dad was two floors down having an autopsy. I was released from hospital with my new baby the day before his funeral. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever endured but let me tell you something, this baby will give you the strength to get through it all.

I went on to have a little girl Oct 2018, my mam passed away March 2019. Again, my children pulled me through it. You will get through this but please remember to look after yourself and baby 💐

I’m so sorry, that’s heartbreaking news xx

I am so sorry.

So sorry, how devastating. Just so what you need to get through, go through the motions xxx

So very sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear that. Sending you lots of love xxx

Very sorry to hear this.
I lost my best friend this way when I was a teenager and contacted surivors of bereavement by suicide.

Just checked and they are still running a helpline. Here is the link with hopefully helpful info. Take care of yourself eh.

Firstly deep breath, then call your partner, friends, family - whoever is good for support. If you are the next of kin there will be a lot of things you need to do so take all the help you can get.

Take care and make sure you eat, drink and sleep - look after yourself

So sorry for your loss

I’m so sorry @WomanWithAWo please make sure you have some real life support and someone is looking after you. We lost my FIL in different but difficult circumstances 6 weeks before DS was born, it was tough I admit but I got through by focusing on DS and looking after him and me. I was just functioning for a long time and the midwives and health visitors were very mindful of PND. It’s good to tell them what’s happened, they will want you to have the help you need.

I am so so sorry for your loss OP x
