Now I understand why you said we had similar stories..(ie. gun/2005)..and like you I kept kicking myself–I should have not let him have his guns–except him & his friends used to go out to the range practice shooting…and in fact he was so safety conscious…he had to tell me correct procedures/handling of guns…..I trusted him completely. One night we joked (i thought) about there was no way he could commit suicide–unless he had very very long arms (his shotgun)…we laughed…if only I had known)!!! thank you for having the strength to share yourself

@ Carry – You have been one of my biggest supporters here at Giggle On! & I genuinely appreciate your comment. Many of the folks who kill themselves are suffering from debilitating torment. You hit that nail on the head.

@ Matthew – All I can do is put myself out there with the hope it may help someone else. We all have pain and suffering, whether it’s from depression, loss of a loved one to suicide, postpartum depression, cancer, HIV/AIDS or a host of other ailments and conditions. We pick up the pieces, turn our losses into gains and move on. Such is the journey called life. And that journey is blessed.

@ Karen – I am not sure how you found me but your words brought me GREAT comfort. Your message about “choices” rings true. Jim made a choice and I choose to move on with my life. I hope to see more of you here. Namaste.

@ Susan – your friend Kevin’s story and your love for him touched my heart. Thank you for the compliment, too. I hope to earn your continued support as time goes by. Giggle On my survivor sista! Giggle On!

@ Kiki – thank you for the compliment Kiki. Your post hit me on a day where I needed a lift. Gracias, big time.
