Wow.  Trish K., I don't know if you're still on these boards, but your words have resonated with me.  My husband took his life just over 4 months ago.  I'm reeling...actually broke down in Costco today...ug.  Thank you so much for your calm, rational, and measured post.  I will be back to read it often. 

I just passed the 4-month mark with my husband's suicide.  I take one day at a time, pretty much keep it together most days, and then lose it either at night or when I'm in the yard alone with the dogs.  Just trying to survive...need to be there for my two teenagers as best I can.  Still in shock that he's left me alone to deal.

Insomnia, therapy, and numbness have dominated my life since he left.  I struggle to understand mental illness (I begged him to get help for over a year. He had good excuse why he wouldn't...I believed him...Now I'm just the fool)...I'm trying.
