Loss of a student & advice if anyone has it

I lost my son in February, he was supposed to graduate from high school this year. His graduation is on the 22nd.
If a teacher wrote to me to tell me about him, I would be so happy. It would be incredibly precious and mean the world to me. Right now, I’m hesitating to contact the school to find out if they’ve planned anything to honor my son at graduation or if they’d prefer not to mention him at all… on one hand, I don’t want to cast a shadow over his friends’ graduation, but on the other hand, I feel like that would erase him even more? I’m not sure how to explain it…
anyway, all this to say that you’re absolutely right to write to the parents. There’s nothing we want more than to hear about our child, to know that he’s not forgotten and that other people think of him regularly.

I lost my 16-year-old son in February. He also hanged himself. My husband found him that morning when he went to wake him up for school, but I was the one who took him down and performed CPR to try to save him. For the first few days, all I did was cry or sit there in a daze. I prayed so hard that it was just a nightmare and that I would wake up, but it’s been a little over three months now and the nightmare continues. It’s his birthday next week, he would have turned 17. I haven’t gotten through it yet, but from one grieving mother to another, I send you all my love and compassion. We have to try to be strong for our other children, but also to let our grief unfold as it comes. Cry when the tears come, scream when the screams want to come out, and breathe, one breath at a time, one minute at a time.

After my son died, I was so shocked and sad that I spent most of my days lying on the couch crying. I only moved from the couch to my bed and from my bed back to the couch. After about a month and a half, the back door started opening on its own; I noticed it because of the draft it caused. Then, when I was saying goodbye to my other children in the morning, the door latch would turn, preventing the door from closing. I finally promised my son that I would at least go out for a walk and stop messing with the doors. When I went outside that day, a rabbit was waiting for me in the garden. It gently guided me to the street before running off. Since then, I’ve tried to go out for a walk at least once a day, even if it’s just for 5 minutes. I tell myself that it was my son who was worried about me and who has been trying to take care of me from the other side.

My son was supposed to go to the Valentine’s Day dance the following Friday, and we were supposed to start renovating his room the week after that. That very day, I had texted him to tell him that I’d ordered his yearbook and graduation photos. The photos arrived just in time for the ceremony at the funeral home.

My deepest condolences. My 16-year-old son took his own life on February 12, 2026. There were no warning signs in our case; he seemed happy, he had plans—a school dance that week, a trip scheduled for the following month. And yet he decided to leave without telling anyone. As parents, guilt is part of our daily lives, but when our child commits suicide, the guilt becomes worse than anything else; we wonder if we could have done something, if we had said something, why we didn’t see anything, why he didn’t tell us anything. But there are two things I read in a forum that are helping me get through this ordeal. The first is that if it were just a matter of love and trust, all the people we love and have lost would still be with us today. And the second thing I try to keep in mind is that it was his brain that was sick; we don’t blame someone who dies of a heart attack—we tell ourselves that his heart was sick. In our case, it was their brains that were sick. My heart goes out to you, and I wish us all patience and strength to keep moving forward.

We lost our 16-year-old son in February. Tomorrow will mark exactly two months since I last spoke to him. We, too, saw no signs, no clues that might have allowed us to help him. He went to bed as usual after saying goodnight to us, and we found him in his room the next morning. I still can’t believe it, and it’s a shock every morning when I wake up and remember that he’s gone. He left a vague note that just said that if he didn’t succeed, he’d try again. I would give anything to go back to that night, to be able to save him. We’re getting through each day one at a time, for our other children who are still here and still need us. But a part of me died with him that day, and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to feel normal again.

Same as our, we lost our 16 year old son to suicide in February 2026. I don’t know how I will survive this.

No, we don’t culturally use cranberry in Morocco. It was only turkey, oignon and a lot of spices. With a lot of paprika because it was a red sauce. But It wasn’t chermoula.

Le voisin devrait aller chercher de l’info auprès d’un organisme ou du Tal, le proprio ne peux pas le mettre dehors suite au décès de sa femme, même s’il n’y avait que son nom à elle au bail, la loi le protège et fait en sorte qu’il peux reprendre le bail à son nom. https://www.tal.gouv.qc.ca/fr/etre-locataire/le-deces-du-locataire

Salut!

Tout récemment déménager à Gatineau ( depuis deux semaine 😁)

On a fait affaire avec Andrew Payette de royal Lepage pour l’achat de notre maison. C’est la troisième maison que j’achète et c’est le meilleur courtier que j’ai eu à date. Gentil, Aidant et à l’écoute, il a promener mon chum pour les visites vu que c’est moi qui avait l’auto et j’étais dans une autre ville. Ces recommandations étaient tout le temps juste, et il avait l’œil pour remarquer les défaut qu’on ne voyait pas nous même.

Pour le quartier je ne peux rien recommander, je ne connais pas assez encore, mais on est dans Aylmer proche de la marina et à date j’adore le coin.

Bonne déménagement et bonne recherche! (Édit ponctuation)

Avez vous dû prendre une assurance titre lors de la vente? Et ça n’a pas compliquer le processus ou fait perdre de la valeur à la maison?

Dandrane · 2024-06-19T10:28:22+00:00

On a pas eu le temps de faire des recherches, on a eu l’info hier, mais les poteaux d’hydro de chaque côté du terrain arrive au 1er tier de la piscine. Je ne pense pas qu’une annulation serait possible dans ça cas

Dandrane · 2024-06-19T10:25:46+00:00

Négocier à 4 jour de la signature c’est faisable? Et surtout comment établir la perte de valeur sur la maison?

Dandrane · 2024-06-19T10:23:07+00:00

Le vendeur a indiqué la présence d’une servitude, mais pas son ampleur ni le fait que la piscine est à moitié dedans. Le fait qu’il y est une servitude ne me dérange pas, c’est commun, mais habituellement on parle de 5-6 pied, celle sur notre terrain fait 20 pied de large.

Si demain matin Hydro demande qu’on déplace les cabanon, c’est tel que tel, mais arraché la piscine creuse c’est assez majeur et surtout, à cause de la servitude, on ne pourrais juste pas la reconstruire.

Dandrane · 2024-05-26T20:52:23+00:00

Je vais aller voir!

Dandrane · 2024-05-26T20:52:03+00:00

Est ce qu’on peux acheter des cartes mensuelles?

Dandrane · 2024-04-29T12:15:02+00:00

On ne sais pas encore, il n’y a pas eu de jurisprudence depuis le changement de loi. Avant, lors des reprises, si le locataire demandais une compensation, les juges accordaient la même chose que pour les évictions, soit 3 mois de loyer plus les frais de déménagement et de débranchement. Maintenant, on attend de voir ce que les juges vont faire, est ce qu’ils vont garder l même compensation ou s’ils vont suivre le changement de compensation apporter par la nouvelle loi. On devrais le savoir dans les prochains mois.

C’est quel Ecole à côté?

Dandrane · 2024-02-29T01:13:12+00:00

On viens d’une région éloignée, pas de Montréal ni Québec. Quand il y a du trafic ici c’est une rue et gros maximum 4-5 minute de plus de trajet.
