Thank you all and I am so sorry for your loss. It was my sister in law who took her life after Pat and Harvey my brother daughter died of a blood clot. So we are in shock for both of the daughter and mother my sister in law. I am trying to find my brother help in Zanesvile Ohio if any one know of a support group in that town could you let me know. thank you all


If I might make a suggestion, Hospice deals with death and dying. I know that here in Warren and Youngstown Ohio, hospice also has information of where to go for support. Also, call your local Hospital, I would bet dollars to doughnuts that they would also have resources to get help.

My suggestion would be contact the area hospitals and speak with the social service person; they'll have the net work for that area human resource people to put your brother in touch with...take every phone # that they provide! And TY - TY for doing this for your brother - he'll need someone to be his advocate - even when he'll tell you "I'm ok, don't worry about me"...keep calling and keep dropping in on him!

I don't think there is a human among us that haven't been touched by suicide in one form or another {either a family/friend/friend of a friend} and we should never - EVER judge the person that took their life. We don't live in their brain and pain! {{hugs}} to you, and again...TY for doing this for your brother!

Sorry for your loss. May you and your brother find the peace that is needed to get through.. As many have said here call the Hospitals many times they can give you many places that help deal with suicide...

Myself I was blessed to be at the right place at the right time when my son decided suicide was his only way out.. The struggle was real and for him to have access to a deer rifle which I had bought him another shotgun his dad had gave him and a pistol he had gotten. I managed to take them away from him..He told me to leave his room that he would shoot me so he could shoot himself. I got right up in his face and told him he better take me down with the first shot for I was not walking out that door. And I would never give up on him. Not sure how to this day for I'm 5'1 and he is 6'2. I fought with all I had, and many bruises to show afterwards that was well worth the fight..

And blessed he had the friends he did that I had to scream to his gf at the time to get his phone and call a specific one. He answered and was there in less then 10 minutes.. He had to literally take my son down good thing he was 6'4 and had the power to do so.. Regardless the bruises and what got broke in my house it did not matter.. Those things could be replaced and healed..

Once he got my son down to where he would talk to him I went and picked up another one of his friends. Between the two they sat with him till the wee hours in the morning talking to him till he calmed down...

To this day those two boys are still my sons best friends and they have always been there for each other when they need them.. Clifton the one that took my son down.. keeps in touch with me and I remind him how much I appreciate him.. he was my Angel that night...

All of this started over a gf that cheated on him and drugs..

Even tho that was 14 years ago it still brings tears to my eyes thinking about it or talking about it..knowing what could have happen if I had not been where I was at the time.:cry: And if Clifton had not answered his phone.

My son later told me he was glad I was there and fought for him like I did..:heart: That is what made the difference well and his best friend tackling him to take him down so he could not move...

Now he is married has 3 kids, a great job and loving life....and totally drug free :heart: :heart: :heart:

I could not image my life without him...

For those that did not have that chance my heart goes out to them.. May those they left behind find the peace to move on and be able to enjoy life once again....
