My beloved daughter took her life in the early hours of this morning.

My first born, my joy, my best friend , my laughter, my tears

I am broken

Annie I hope and pray that you have support of family around you at this sad time please keep in touch.
Sometimes there are no answers but you know your lovely daughter had you at the front of her thoughts,a candle was lite this morning and a pray said thinking of you,it doesn't help in anyway just the least I could think of doing.

The tribute to your daughter from the council speaks volumes. She was valued for all the right reasons. She was caring, kind and loving flowers

Anniebach Sat 04-Nov-17 17:36:17

soop, she was all those, she could light up a room with her smile too

Glammanana, a lit candle and / or a pray does much

Annie, so good to read the message from your daughter's colleagues.

BlueBelle Sat 04-Nov-17 17:59:51

Anniebach you may have been given this information or it may not be the right time for you but there is a very good support group called SOBS ( Survivors of bereavement by suicide) and it’s there to help survivors deal with the tragedy
I hope you don’t mind me passing this to you

Dear Annie, I do hope your daughter's last written words are some comfort. You have been a wonderful loving and supporting mum and grandma. I only know second hand the pain of losing a child, my dear husband's son from his first marriage died suddenly and unexpectedly from cardio myopathy. Th raw grief in losing a child is so much greater than losing a parent, a parent one is prepared for it's the natural order. I know my husband tells me that time has helped him come to terms with the loss, but his son is ever present in his thoughts especially when his birthday falls. I think you are an open person and talk about the sadness you have had to endure in the past and you have been so brave in coping with everything life has thrown at you. Sharing grief is cathartic for many people, there are some kind ladies on GN who have lost their children through the same circumstances, I hope they can provide you with some comfort. I hope also your strong faith will sustain you through your grief and we are all here for you. Once again I am so very sorry for your loss with much love flowers

Sorry for going overboard.

Anniebach, what a lovely message your daughter left for you. If it was actually written on the wall take a photo of it (you may have already done so). I hope it will give you comfort.

Keep those words Anniebach and as Mary did “ponder them in your heart”

Anniebach Sat 04-Nov-17 19:52:44

not overboard wot, thank you .

I think my younger daughter has done that for me Andy.

Yes, lovely words Maw

Bluebelle, I didn't know of that, thank you.

Iam, it was lovely to rea the message, they remember her as she was before the illness.

Terri, I have always been open be it sad or happy, perhaps being Welsh - why use one word when you can use 10.

I am so sorry for your loss. Depression is such a difficult illness to beat. Try to remember the good times and keep her message to you at the front of your mind.

Annie I confess to shedding a tear reading through this thread. Please keep coming back to post whatever you find helpful and know that many of us are thinking of or praying for you at this time.

Sending loving (((hugs))) to you Anniebach and hoping that you are being upheld by many loving arns. So lovely to hear of the tributes coming in with people remembering her lovely qualities and her work in the community, you were clearly a special and good mum to her to bring her up to be so well respected and loved. So good to be able to remember her with love and thankfulness that she was yours and know that she loved you as you loved her. flowers
