my husband suicide

My husband commited suicide while I was in the garage watching a basketball game. I'm so depressed and I hate myself for not picking up on clues. He didn't leave a note and left me with so many questions. I miss him so much somedays I want to commit suicide too but I can't. He left me wondering why. He was 28 and we didn't have children. I had known him for 13 years and our 10th wedding anniversary would have been aug 4. Its been over 2 months but the pain is more profound. I miss him sometimes I wish that when I found him hanging I should have done the same instead of trying to revive him. I love him and it feels so horrible to wake up each day and face reality. I'm so empty inside and I feel there is no point to mylife. Somebody help me.

Re: my husband suicide

Firstly I'd just like to say how sorry I am for your loss. Although I've not been in your position I can appreciate just how much it hurts to lose someone and no matter what people say, you still feel hurt that you've been left behind to deal with life on your own. You don't mention if you have any relatives or friends to talk with about how you feel but please do talk to someone. No-one in the world can tell you just what was in your husbands mind when he took his life and although you mentioned that sometimes you feel you wish you could do the same, please take a minute to think about why you want to do this.
By "talking" about it on here shows to me that it's the last thing you want to do but you just need help with dealing with how you're feeling right now. You were lucky to have as many years together as you did but please don't end your life because of regrets of what you didn't share together. You are valued by more people than you realise and I'm sure they would be sad to know that you're feeling this way. Sometimes we can build a wall around ourselves when dealing with grief and effectively block others out who just want to help. You will feel guilty that you didn't pick up on the signs but don't keep blaming yourself. You are still young and your life is so very precious. Please don't throw it away.
Just take one day at a time, talk when you feel you can and please let someone know just how you feel. If people don't know how you feel then they can't help.
Anyway, I hope you read this and realise that although I'm a stranger to you that there are people out here who do care.
Look after yourself.
(hugs)

Poppy

Re: my husband suicide

I will help you. I have been exactly where you are and after 19 years I am still asking questions. My brother took his life May 27th, 1989 but I am not posting this to talk about him or how bad I had it. The point is I know what your going to go through and are going through and it hurts so bad and the worst part is you will never get a defnitive answer. I am the pot calling the kettle black because I still can't deal with my brother's suicide but what I can say is that it is going to be an intergral part of your life and the only thing you can do is allow the passage of time and learn to absorb the brunt of the hurt. Talking about it I believe always helps and even though we are total strangers I am here to listen.

Rob

Re: my husband suicide

Thank for your wonderful comforting words. I feel like I'm living in a nightmare. My life is empty. Everyone tells me you have keep going on for him but it seems ridiculous because he was the reason for my living. Its been almost 3 months and my parents and siblings don't understand why I still cry. They think that I should go to the dr for meds as if he is going to perscribe me a magic pill. But I don't think they have an amnesia pill and with that I don't think ill ever forget him. Writing on this forum has helped because I feel emotional ties with everyone because knows my grief. thank you (((hug)))
