(8,655 posts)I had a brother-in-law commit suicide. It's a completely different kind of death to mourn, with different obstacles to overcome. There's still a lot of stigma in our society for suicide. And a ridiculous amount of blaming family and friends who didn't (and couldn't possibly) find a way to stop it.
There are organizations out there to help you and onestepforward's husband and family deal with it all. My local org is called Survivors Of Suicide (SOS) because that's exactly what you need to do - find a way to survive the suicide of a loved one.
If you need someone to talk to who understands and won't judge, message me and I will give you my contact info.
I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing you were a friend to someone who truly needed one.
