I put this onto another thread, but realised that many others on this site maybe affected by suicide. So <as we say down here in the SW> yer tis:

I may have mentioned in PP that my late DH killed himself - I found him dead on the living room floor on Christmas morning. I was PG with my DS, but he didn't know at that stage. I'd had 6 miscarriages & was waiting to tell him as it was very early days. I so regret that I didn't tell him, but I wanted to protect him from another. Rather complicated, but he was adopted, I come from a large family. He used to say how envious he was that I knew where I came from & he could see similarities in my aunts, uncles & cousins - he used to refer to my family as a bevy of beautiful blondes. He would say that the only person who he would know looked like him would be his child(ren). Ironically DS is the image of me - God bless him. 😥
29 years later - I'm a survivor. Content to discuss with any others who would wish to share. 😘

How incredibly sad for you @Ibloodylovetea , it must have been a very hard time for you. Your poor DH obviously didn't have that feeling of belonging, of knowing his birth family, of feeling he had a place in the world. I hope seeing him in your DS is a comfort to you

My husband died by suicide 8 weeks ago. I have two young children. Please tell me how to get through it. I can’t imagine what my future looks like.
