I know what you mean by that.

and I am glad that there is somewhere that you can put your words.

It also makes my heart smile to hear of the students/friends that stood up for Cassie; we always hear how kids can be so MEAN... What a glorious display to the contrary! I can't imagine how furious you were initially... I would have wanted to smash them all to pieces (the mean ones), even if they WERE "just kids". I'm so glad that Cassie got the support/love she deserved from her PEERS.. very meaningful I'm sure!!!!

Continued prayers for you & yours.

Lori, I have been thinking of you and praying for you all week. I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure I'll sound like a broken record when I say this, but please- no matter how hard it is to walk through the door to that meeting, please, PLEASE go. I kick myself every day for skipping the "meetings" and the "groups" my parents set up for me after Ben died. I know you said you already feel guilty- I think it's something everyone who has had a loved one commit suicide feels- but maybe these meetings will help you to cope and find the methods to handle those feelings without letting them erode your soul.
The anger is something I held onto for a long time. I was so angry with Ben for putting me through that, for putting the rest of his family and friends though that. It wasn't untill years later that I realized something. He put us through that because of what he couldn't go through. It taught me something... something that I have never shared with my parents and I never will. Ben's suicide saved my own life. A year before his death, I had written my own "suicide note". It fell out of my backpack at school- another student found it and brought it to a teacher. She called my father at work and he came immediatly and picked me up. Numerous councelling sessions followed. Numerous "doctor" visits followed. Then Ben's death. I had never really let go of the idea of ending it all untill I saw what his death did to his family and friends- and from that day on I swore I would never put my loved ones through that, however few they were.
I'm glad you can find some solice in BYC. Whatever it takes, dig deep and find the strength to go on. We're with you, we're here for you, every single step of the way. That will never change.

Wegotchickens, I have been thinking of you since this post was started and i still feel badly for you. and i will continue to think of you. no one should have to deal with the death of a child. i worry all the time about my children and when reading this i know it can happen to anyone. and i can only hope and pray it doesn't happen to us or anyone else. seek the counseling you so badly need and you can open up to us anytime. some is always on.. and im sure anyone on here will listen
