I lost my daughter to suicide in 2018 and I struggle with panic attacks majorly now. Somedays are better than others but life is never the same.

@crh5914 Suicide took my son the same year. I’ll never be the same … relearning to live :heart:

Hey there friend. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. As a father to a beautiful 8 year old, I would be devastated to lose my little girl and could see how difficult rebuilding would be after having your world shattered. Difficult likely doesn’t even begin to describe it.

In that way, the only things I know about grief are the things I’ve read and learned from those close to me. Some have said that you never really overcome it. That sometimes, it’s a visitor that shows up at your door unannounced and you do your best to accommodate them until they leave again.

For what it’s worth, it sounds like you’re doing the absolute best you can to navigate the ups and downs of it all. I hope you’re finding the ability to give yourself grace when applicable - you deserve that grace, even if you think that sometimes it isn’t for you.

We’ll be here to listen if you need us.

@crh5914 I cannot imagine I am deeply sorry for your loss I will pray for you
