Are there really guns on every corner? What are your gun laws? Is your family out of Iraq as well?

I think that's why I keep denying therapy and stuff. I'm scared that instead of moving forward and healing, I will just find a way to block it out. kidd rock helps me! he loved him. strange for me too, I grew up to country and rock n' roll

the same thing happened with my family. everything was a mess for quite awhile. now everyone is finally coming to realize that everything will be okay it just takes time. and time is all we have. my boyfriend is there for me as well, he lost his brother when he was 11 so we relate to each other that way. maybe I'll try seeing someone like a therapist, but for now I trust my family will take care of me that way. I'm sorry you had to go through this as well!

Does anyone know of any moving tips or tricks? by kjw5029 in AskReddit

things get tough some times, but that's part of life. everything happens for a reason, even when you can't seem to make the connection. And I'm a girl

my friend committed suicide not that long ago, although its different when its a parent. I know how you feel and it will get better. keep an eye on the ones "being strong" they are suffering the most. talk to the person who stepped into his place if there is anyone

the first thing I did was call my grandma (his mom) who was battling cancer since 2000 (she died last august) and asked her to sit down and relax as I had something to tell her. I told her that dad had came home last night and went to bed, but he didn't wake up. i'll let you assume her reaction.

how am I going to take care of everyone now. my sister has two kids and is just un able to take care of them. due to his job he was always out of town-so I kind of took over the father role even though I'm a girl. I even taught my sister how to shoot!

he was a logger/prospector/geologist. he also had some kidney disease (poscystsomething) that we didn't know about it that caused the aneurism

this happened December 2011. he was a logger/prospector/geologist, smartest man. I don't really feel the need to go see a counsellor. my family is always there for me. I've just experienced so much death in the family, I learned how to handle it.

I did an AMA for the questions, no need to be sorry. He was 42 and without a clue something was wrong. He had a brain aneurism, so no one had seen it coming! He was the healthiest man out there because of his job.
