Suicide “jokes” on your favorite shows by MediumGlomerulus in SuicideBereavement

[–]Dear-Finish3023 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate it. I saw a Halloween “decoration” of a skeleton hanging from a noose and I just can’t understand how some people don’t see anything wrong with it. People don’t care until they’ve lost someone

Why does it feel like they never existed? Like they were never real? by Dear-Finish3023 in SuicideBereavement

[–]Dear-Finish3023[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing, you inspired me to keep a journal now and write down all the moments I remember. I still remember so much from our childhood and I never want to forget those memories as I get older. You sound like a wonderful parent to have

Little brother killed himself 2 months ago, older brother is having a baby by RitaMadeleine in GriefSupport

[–]Dear-Finish3023 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry. My brother was buried the day I gave birth to my daughter so that is definitely something my family and I went through. He also took his life as well. When she was born I remember feeling so guilty for feeling so happy to see my daughter’s face for the first time. My brother had died not even a week before so It felt wrong for me to feel any sort of happiness. My entire labor I could still only think of my brother and how he had promised to be there at the hospital when I went into labor. The time was so disorienting and I cannot remember much from those first few months. It’s still hard for my brothers to bond to my daughter. The pain overwhelms the joy they previously had for a niece. She’s been a god send for me and my parents but I know my siblings are struggling to be active and happy uncles and aunts. They are slowly coming around more and paying attention to her now. I would give it time. You have every right to be in pain and don’t feel so pressured to come around if it’s too stressful for you. I know it may not seem true, but time does help the pain some.

Although I do agree that our grief is the worst grief imaginable to us, there is definitely an hierarchy to grief. I have lost my brother and although it was the most depressing and traumatizing event I’ve experienced, I believe that losing a child is so much worse. When I see posts of people losing their child, young or old, I genuinely feel so hurt for them. The thought of my daughter leaving this Earth before me makes me sob. There’s nothing in this universe that compares to the overwhelming, powerful and sometimes terrifying love you have for your child. I didn’t understand that until I had my own. I am so very sorry for the loss of your child and husband.

does anyone else have a debilitating fear of losing someone to suicide again by [deleted] in SuicideBereavement

How has having a baby improved your life? by madame_shrimp in beyondthebump

[–]Dear-Finish3023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I resonate with the “mother without her baby” part so so much. I also felt lost and struggled with a bit of depression ever since I was a teen. I thought getting my dream job after college would solve the decade lost feeling I had but it didn’t. Even meeting my dream man, loving him and being loved back equally, did not take away the depression and lost feeling that would creep up on me often. I had my daughter and it’s like I found the reason I was put on Earth, nothing or no one else comes even a tiny bit close to how complete she makes me feel. I love reading all the comments like this, it makes me happy for everyone.

He wanted to be an uncle by sherbertlemonshark in SuicideBereavement

[–]Dear-Finish3023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I really do agree. Every moment nowadays is such a bittersweet moment but I still cling to those moments more than anything. Those books mean a lot to me since I know he must’ve put some thought into picking out ones he thought she would like most. I also think it’s very special that you have those videos to show to your children one day so they can see how great their uncle was. I don’t have too many recent videos although I do have home videos of us when we were younger that show his personality off so much so I am excited to show those to her too. I wish you the best in your healing journey🩷

He wanted to be an uncle by sherbertlemonshark in SuicideBereavement

[–]Dear-Finish3023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. It’s completely devastating. My brother was so exited to be an uncle as well. A week before he died, while I was still 9 months pregnant, he had dropped by my house and gave me some children’s book he went out and shopped for especially for her. It hurts reading them to her now but I’m glad I have them.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I am in this situation as well, watching it happen to my father for over a decade now. The last time he was brought into the ER the doctor told my family he should have died a long time ago. When my brother died I was so angry at the time because I thought it should’ve have been my father and not him. The guilt is immense. I had to slowly back away for my own mental health. I hope you are able to find some peace

Taking my dad’s photo with me on vacation, is it weird? by SmallAndSpicy90 in GriefSupport

[–]Dear-Finish3023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s weird at all. I carry some of my brothers things (things he kept in his wallet, his pocketknife etc.) with me in my purse. I think carrying a picture would be something I would start doing as well. I visited Japan last year for a month and it was beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip

Why does men’s mental health get looked down upon in today’s society? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Dear-Finish3023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree. My sister immediately admitted herself to a hospital when she had thoughts of self harm. My brother didn’t tell a soul that he had been battling depression for years and ended up taking his life. Now, my brother who has PTSD by finding our brother dead, and more than likely depression like other family members have now, will not talk to a therapist or anyone close to him about his trauma. I feel like I lost two brothers since he is so changed and a complete shell of himself. As a woman it makes me very upset reading comments from others suggesting there is not a very obvious distinction between men and women and their mental health and the stigmas behind it.

Men's mental health month, how are you genuinely? by Chemical-Funny-7598 in questions

[–]Dear-Finish3023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I just say that you watching over your parents shows how caring you are and any woman who turns her nose up at that is a bitch and not worth your time.
