My wife's father committed suicide about 5 years ago...the questions still remain as to why and what could we have done to help him. Stay strong for your daughter, she will need you for a long time to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family....

Prayers from Oklahoma. When the world shakes kids look for something to hold on too. I'll bet your up to the challenge, stay strong for everyone involved. George
Thanks to all. I'm not sure why this happens either. It was almost unheard of when I was growing up, and never kids. Suicide has probably touched us all nowdays. I have had several people I was close to go that way over the last 20 years including a cousin and one of my best friends. I appreciate all your support and continued prayers. J.B.
That's horrible, prayers to your family. My grandmother committed suicide when I was 10 and I hated her for it. I have forgiven her for myself, but I don't think that I ever can for what it did to my mom.
Our family has experienced the trauma suicide imposes. It seems to be a selfish thing, but what pushes someone to do this is beyond our comprehension. Your pain and that of your family is known to us, and we share your feelings. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your daughter, and your former wife. Jim and Judy
I will add my prayers to those of the others, I hope the rest of the family pulls through this ok. Randy
Lost a daughter-in-law 3 years ago January 17th. 28 years old and had a heart attack. Left a 9 year old son and 5 year old daughter. Not a day goes by that one of the kids doesn't mention her name. It was harder on the 5 year old than the 9 year old. Not the same but still missed by all. Keep your little girl close and don't be afraid to be open and honest with her at this time about what happened. She and the ex will need a lot of help for awhile. Be patient with both and help them all you can......
I hope I put this in the correct words. Make sure his friends are watched with care. I had a friend whose child wanted to join a friend after killing hisself.This child also died at his own hand. I am very sorry for your loss... Bobby..
Very sorry to hear the bad news. It puts a nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach. Be as strong as you can for all involved.
Damn wb3, that's exactly how my best friend died in 1993. One thing I learned to is keep the lines of communication open. Keep an eye out for the quiet ones too, they're are the ones with all the questions but too afraid to ask. Til this day, I am still close to his family. We make it a point to be there for them on their birthdays, and his as its the most difficult and painful one to remember.....and Xmas. Whenever we throw a party, they are always invited. Our prayers are with you and yours. Guider
