We often believe that our relationship with our loved one ends the day they take their life. It doesn’t end, it changes. 
This perception often complicates an already complicated grief process. We think that moving forward means getting over the person and the relationship that we lost to suicide that day. When we can’t let go, we think we are stuck. Changing our perception can offer tremendous relief. It isn’t about letting go; it’s about learning how to continue our relationship with our loved one after they have left this world. I will explore ways to incorporate our loved one into our lives in Thursday’s post.
My heart is breaking. It feels like I’m dying to live without him. No quitters but nan…what’s left. I’m unsure.
We are so sorry about your loss. Both Becky and myself went to a grief group following our dad’s suicide. Connecting, in person, with other survivors was the best decision we made. Also I personally recommend working with a grief therapist. Not just any therapist but one that specializes in traumatic loss. I have found that trying to go through this all alone doesn’t work. Thoughts and prayers are with you!
