LipstickLady 25,682 Posted January 28, 2016 When someone makes a heart wrenching decision like suicide, it is THEIR decision. I know it's easier said than done, but the weight of his actions should not lie on your shoulders. You had this surgery for you, and now is the time to fulfill the advantages of that surgery. You do not need anyone but you to make this right. If you are determined, you can succeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted January 29, 2016 Five years later, I know. It isn't easy now, but it was impossible for me to accept then. I was just looking for a wee bit of support and understanding. I guess those are difficult items to give. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted January 29, 2016 Five years later, I know. It isn't easy now, but it was impossible for me to accept then. I was just looking for a wee bit of support and understanding. I guess those are difficult items to give. I read both posts as the before and after your discovering his suicide. My heart aches for you (and him, too). No, not everyone is capable of providing the support you need, but some are. Even though he was not in a position to do so, there are many others (friends, family, and even strangers on the Internet) can. How are you doing this week by the way?

Valentina 2,642 Posted January 29, 2016 Thank you for trying to understand. If I understood his suicide and my reaction to it, I wouldn't have needed the 4 1/2yrs of therapy. Thank you again. This week, well since Jan 12th, I've lost 11 pounds. I've gone back to a Protein shake for Breakfast, greed yogurt for lunch and an "allowable" dinner with a green salad topped with nutritional yeast. I am having trouble drinking enough. I've never been a big Fluid consumer, but I'm working at it. I am going three times a week for aqua therapy for my back since spinal fusion. After that I will join the pool. Thank you again, for asking about my progress. It means a great deal to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
