I am a mum whose daughter died by suicide just over 18 months ago while in hospital informally though we feel she should have been in under section at the time. It would be good to talk to others. Not sure if this forum exists as I can't get to see any posts Lynn

Hi, I am new to all of this and did not quite know what to do. I found my brother after he committed suicide 11 years ago. At the time i did not deal with any of the grief, just buried it all deep inside and tried to stay strong for my mum. Over the past few weeks all of the feelings have begun to resurface and I am struggling to cope. If you could give me some direction about where to go from here I would be really grateful as I am very confused. fi

Hi there, Your post has just stood out at me because my father took his own life 5 months ago. It does get swept under the carpet and it really shouldnt. I really can relate to how devastated you must be and how confusing it must be for you. I am 31 but for you to have lost your dad at such a young age must have been horrendous. Your are strong and have coped with something most people wouldnt stand a chance against. I am replying to this some months after you posted this and I really hope you are ok. I have only just joined this forum and hope you will post and we can help each other out. I find that its almost too painful to remember him sometimes but know that you have to help with the healing process. Do you have any brothers or sisters. Thankfully i have 2 sisters and we can help each other. Although we all need an outsider sometimes. Hope to hear from you. Helenp28

Hello Lynn, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss,I lost my husband through suicide around 30 years ago,although I have moved forward , I am now a bereavement volunteer for cruse and Samaritans,I still feel myself personally still affected, its not something you can get over, but you can learn to cope with it, talking about your loss and what your feeling with others is a great start, there is so much support now , I wish it i had know about it when I was in the early stages of grieving, instead of stumbling along on my own, Regards to you and your family Jenny

Hi Lynn, I hope you don't mind me contacting you. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. This may not be of interest to you, but I am a journalist and write real life features for a range of national publications. I have worked with women before who have been forced to cope with a bereavement through suicide and who have wanted to talk about what they have been through to help others. If this appeals to you and you would like to find out more do get in touch. My email address is emily@medavia.co.uk and my company's website is www.medavia.co.uk Thanks for your time, Best Wishes Emily Retter

Hello Lynn I am very sorry for your loss. To reverse things, my father commited suicide about 3 years ago now. It sounds like a long time but as it was just swept under the carpet at the time it is coming back to me now. I am 16 and now depressed and very confused about my feelings. If anyones out there who can give me advice, it would be welcome. The loss of my father is a big void in my life.
