Great read!

As parents when we realize that we have made mistakes and then tell our children so, no matter how old that they are, we should be absolved of any guilt. It then becomes the child's responsibility to forgive and move on,

Suicide is basically a very selfish act.

Wow! That's sage advice. We can love our children and try to point them in the right direction, but they are still free moral agents.

Thank you for the post.
Though I have not lost any of my children, I am sure this can help some-one some where.
My brother lost his only son, he drowned at the age of twenty one, drugs and alcohol. My brother and his beautiful wife
have never been the same since the accident and, they never will.
I am troubled, should I print this and allow them to read?
I know they did many wonderful things for their son but I am still puzzled as to what to do. Help!

Every word she says rings true. I would save this article for other suicide survivors. These are the questions that haunt us all.
