I Have No Words...

I have no words is what my sister's husband said to her when he heard that his son committed suicide last night.
I truly had no words to say to her when she told me the news. I wish I did but I didn't.

I received a text from my sister last while at work saying that her husband got some sad news, asking me if I could call her. My immediate thought was that it was his brother, who lives next door to him because he has been battling cancer, he was diagnosed a few months ago. It wasn't his brother but it was regarding his son.

I am saddened and heartbroken because I've never heard such sadness in my sister's voice as I did tonight. She was devastated, heartbroken and speechless!
I wanted to leave work to be there for her, but I couldn't and I carried on with the rest of my shift trying to hold back all my tears.

I wondered how to tell my kids because they were so close. He was only 22 years old, how does this happen!!!

Sometimes being with your sister at this devastating time in her life, and her husbands in all you need to do. Why people commit suicide we will never being totally understood
People commit suicide when they don’t feel they have a way out of whatever is bringing them down. @nedkelly
