> Thanks, Suzie. I do not personally consider the warnings on the inserts adequate, as I think it a bit ridiculous to expect a depressed person to warn those around him/her that "Oh, please keep an eye on me for suicidal reactions!" Please. Do the people doing this have a clue about depression or how it feels?
---Not enough of them, thats for sure.

> So, you see, the black box doesn't give me hope at all. And the grief board people might have good intentions, but everyone has their own demons, and honestly, I find that others going through similar things usually are so ensnared in their own issues that although they may mean well, there is not much room to help others.---Hadn't thought of that, but I can see where that could happen. Too many needs in one room...
I don't particularly care for any psychology/psychiatry people right now, either. I hope you can understand that.
---Certainly. If/when you get to that, you'll know it. It seems that you are still very angry (understandably). I've been very angry before and being counseled would not have helped it; I needed to burn it off and get through it before anything constructive would have happened. On the other hand, we have to be careful not to be permanently stuck. Do you have other children?
I just thought I'd put up a warning for those who might find it useful.
---I'm sure it is. I don't take it myself, but I'm sure it will be to someone.
I am again sorry for your loss. I have a son around the same age and I can't imagine what you've been through. Glad you are here.
