i lost my son in febrary of this year, he hung himself, my other son has a family bit his girlfriend sees mine and my sons relationship as a threat as we are close so she cases trouble whenver she can and consequently i am left alone. I feel so low and dispondent about life and just want to be with my son who died, as i feel that he had the right idea.

No, suicide is NEVER the answer. It’s tragic what happened to your son and I’m sorry I couldn’t get to him first to talk him out of it, but… You have to understand that you are still needed.
Because no matter how bad things get. If your legs have been chewed off by a half-naked hobo named Billy and you have only one hand and no teeth and are pretty much deaf, then you still need to live. Because someday you could write a book and someone else reads it and they would feel happy.
And what if you go up to a person who is pretty much in your position. And you could hug them. And they would feel happy. They would feel very very happy. And that’s how you might just save a life.
Death takes away all options; it’s permanent. Even if you believe in the afterlife, you still wouldn’t be able to change or do anything to this plane of existence anymore. And if you believe in reincarnation, you will just be born as something/someone else and you wont still be able to change anything. And if you believe in nothing, then there’s nothing and you will no longer exist, ever.
About your other son, though. You’ve got to understand that now that he has a girlfriend, that girl sees you as a threat. But you’ve got to look past that and still treat them nice. (Being nice to people, is good for yourself as well as the other people.) But if you miss your son so much, just call him every once in a while (not too much, that’s suffocating) and sometimes ask him to visit you, because you’d like to catch up and talk face-to-face.
I hope this helped 🙂
I disagree. Why the hell would I want to suffer through having my legs chewed off and living a miserable life (if having no legs makes me unhappy) just so some other person can read my book and go, ‘gee, that was a good book!’
If what is making you suicidal is the relationship with your family, I would suggest talking with your son and his girlfriend openly about how you feel and see what happens from there.
pammy1962,
Sorry about your son that’s a heartbreaker but by joining him you do understand your really not joining him, and even though he’s gone you should be living for yourself as well you can’t change things but you can go forward even when you don’t want to, sometimes what we want isn’t good for us either.
jjgirl13, but what if that book saves a LIFE. But once you’re dead, you will help no one anymore. That’s the sad part.
