Our nephew killed himself this weekend. He was found yesterday. He was 24 years old. He grew up with my son Tyler and they spent a lot of time together. He had suffered through years of addictions. So sad to see a young man go through all of this. Thanks.
I know of one 20+ kid in the neighborhood who is going through addictions and troubles. Sad to see so much of it. Best wishes and prayers to your family. Terry
One of the guys I worked with, lost his son 6 months ago similar situation. Home out of the Navy, about a year. He struggled. 15 yrs ago the guy who trained me, committed suicide at a cell site we took care of. I still remember that month. Your family will be in my prayers.
My sincerest sympathy Ive had suicide in my family no way to ever understand why or totally come to grips with I also have addiction very close in my life My prayers and heart feel for you and your whole family gain peace thru the fact that your nephew is no longer fighting his demons but is in a safe place now
Thanks everybody. Went to his apartment yesterday to get some personal items. Not a fun trip, but necessary. Services today.
Unless you have experienced mental issues or periods of depression, you have no idea just how the human mind can 'play games' with you. Sadly, too many do not seek the help they need for various reasons, especially the fear of social stigma, "What will everyone think?" or they don't want to bother others with their problem. It is sad that many end their suffering by suicide. My heart goes out to those who just couldn't take what they were dealing with anymore and to the loved ones who are left to pick up the pieces and wondering just what they could have done to prevent this.
So sorry to hear about your nephew Mark. Suicide is certainly a terrible epidemic in our society. I will be praying for you and your entire family. \o/
Suicide is a sad statistic especially among our Vets. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and all those that suffer through this. Fred
