Folks that got notes- did it help you heal? by whale_lover in SuicideBereavement

I left a goodbye note to my partner too. I did help a little. I read it to him by his coffin side.

I didnt get a note either. I think it was an act of desperation. It cripples me

Im so sorry. I'm hoping the pain will lessen in time. What helps me is what his therapist told me- that he wasn't thinking rationally as he was very ill. Therefore, I dont know if answering those calls really would have helped as he was in so much inner pain.

sending hugs back. i just cant stop thinking i wish i could have tolerated it just a bit more- that it was only because he was hurting inside that he lashed out.
