I'm new, and am tired of trying to find support on chat because let's face it, if your not posting a pic or willing to cyber, you don't exist! @#$%! My husband just blew his head off with a shotgun in front of me, a month ago today, and 8 days later, after moving back in with my parents, I have to call 911 because my Mother, who was there for me, was throwing up blood and surely would have died had I not been there... I am just trying to get a grip on all of this. Of course it gets more complicated but I am just hitting on the "highlights" of this most feastive season... And please excuse me, I am oh, just a little bit livid, because after 3 weeks at UVA my momma went to the ER again tonight,
Sorry just needed to vent a little, would love an ear and Happy New Year to you all. Today is also my son's 17th birthday!

I hear you. That's a huge load. I don't know what to say except if venting is what you have to do, then vent. I will pay attention when I'm on the board. And you have my deepest sympathies and respect for carrying on in the midst of all this.

Have you gotten professional couselling? You need it and you are probably still in shock. Fondly, Phillipa

You have been through hell and the way you are feeling is to be expected. There are different stages of grief and i hope you are in therapy to help you cope with this overwhelming amount of events that have happened. You have come to the right place to open up, rant and rave, scream or cry anytime with people who do care. You are never alone here.

I am so, so, very sorry.
When you are ready, please attend a support group for survivors dealing with others' suicides. Maybe you're ready now, since you're here.
I felt like I was completely crazy when my daughter died; having your feelings validated by others who REALLY know what you're going through is incredibly helpful. And those who have never experienced your situation will say really sh*tty, hurtful things. Not because they mean to hurt you, but because they have no idea...
Your attending won't change the situation, but hopefully knowing you are not alone in your thoughts and feelings you must be having about your husband will be a step towards a better place.
