just wanted to aknowledge someone here on the board who helped me during a crisis earlier.you see my son attempted to take his life 3 weeks ago and i did not know what to do or how to do it or how to feel..it was like being in a tunnel and time had stood still..now i know what people mean when they say they can be around many people and still feel alone..i cant begin to imagine the pain my son was going through and am not sure if il ever fully understand..hes on medication now and its helped very much..i dont think il ever be the same though..its like something inside has been taken away..maybe its the fact that i always thought that i could protect him from the things of this world and in reality i couldnt..thanks marie for being there when i needed you and im sure tht during times in the future when i feel alone and scared that i can turn to you and youll lend me your ear..im asking the people on this board to say and extra prayer this christmas eve night and christmas day that god give my son the will to go on to see that this world does have good in it and that it is worth it to live and go on .. please pray for me also ..

Despite everything conspiring against you, I hope you find a way to have a Merry X-mas...
There is a saying I like: "God never gives us more than we can handle."
Perhaps for you and your son, this may help you summon the strength to go on. If you just believe you do have the ability to tough it out, and that there is meaning, good, and a purpose for your life once you live through this rough patch, you may make it and live on to make a difference.
Best wishes to both of you. (You can't see it cause you're looking in the wrong direction, but both of you have a great many supporters and friends who are more than willing to help. Allow them.)

Things have a way a working themselves out. Looks like you and your son are heading on the right track. Just keep the train going and it will take you to the next station in life. Don't take it out on yourself, life has a way of throwing us for a loop once in awhile. Hang in their you have a lot of friends to help you and the good lord watching over both of you. Enjoy the holidays and enjoy one another.

Consider it done, Snuggle. My best friend took his life two years ago, and his family has never gotten over it, much less me. You have our utmost support. May God shine his light upon you both and grant you peace.
