What has helped me cope is the promise from Jehovah God that we can see our dead loved ones again on earth. Isaiah 26:19, Psalms 37:10, 11. Jehovah also promised he will get rid of suffering and death forever. Rev. 21:3, 4. This has help me and countless others, I hope this gives you some comfort also. I will keep you in my prayers. Take care Judy.

Just like yourself, my other son and 3 grandchildren (and a daughter) are what have kept me going. I lost my son Charles this year in May. My daughter is due to have my 4th grandbaby on the anniversary of Charles' death, and this thought brings me much joy. Lord bless you and I pray 2012 is a better year for us all. All the best to you.

I lost my son Charles the same way this year on May 1. How old was Chris? Charles was 26. His younger brother and I celebrated Charles 27th birthday together Sep. 19. Losing a child to a death by suicide is such a complex kind of grief.
