My mom committed suicide last night.

And I'm an absolute wreck. From what I've heard today she was on a concoction of Ambient and an anti depressant. My stepdad woke up to a gunshot and my mom had killed herself. This was the last thing I got to say to her.

She killed herself at 12:25.

What am I about to go through GAF? I've never lost a parent or lost a loved one to suicide. Anyone have any personal stories?

Very sorry for your loss. Make sure you have someone to talk to, you will probably go through a period of being incredibly angry at her.

How do you even begin to console someone about this... I cannot imagine what you are going through. Please find people that love you to support you during your difficult trial, and if you don't have that, find professional help or grief counseling if you need it and know that GAF is (mostly) here for you if you want it.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Wow, I am so sorry for your loss.

There really are no words, but I would try to take solace in the fact that your last words to each other were "I love you"'s.

I'm sorry for your loss. Terrible. Only person that I lost was one of my better friends in high school, known him since elementary. Hit me hard and I can't even imagine what it's like if it was one of my parents.

This is the most comforting thing to me, she called my other Brother (who was upstairs and is 14) and told him she loved him too.

Wow, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I lost my father to cancer four years ago, but I can't even comprehend losing a parent that way. =(

Stay strong, y'all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

wow that's heart breaking. I wish i had something to say. GAF OT is well versed in what depression does to people. I couldn't imagine this happening to my mom. Were there any warning signs?

I'm so sorry man. I really am. But at very least, the last thing you told her was that you loved her. My brother and I had a fight the last night I saw him alive. It's something that has stuck with me.

I asked my stepfather and he said she attempted to sleep by taking an
Ambien yesterday but couldn't sleep and she was feeling just awful. I personally think she took another ambien to fall asleep and it reacted weird with her other medications and she just did it. I don't think she knew what was happening or if she was even in a completely conscious state of mind.

Hang in there Man.

Lost my Mother a year ago (I was 33), it's a hard thing to deal with.

Suicide is an entirely different issue.. but either way, just try to focus on positivity and the good things about her life, not the bad things about her death.

I had a good friend take his own life a few months back, and even though he wasn't family it had made an unmistakably large mark on my life. He had a back injury that he was in pain from, and took medication for but he never, ever told any of us that he was even close to thinking about suicide. Not even the people who lived with him and saw him day to day. It was gut retching, and I still kind of tear up thinking about him today.

It's a tragedy you lost your mom, I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm very afraid of losing my parents so I can imagine some of what you are going through right now. You just have to keep your head up for your mom, not lose track of yourself and push forward. It's going to be a rough next few days, don't be afraid to cry. But please, don't let yourself start talking weird and placing the blame on yourself. It's obvious your mother loved you very much, and this action seems very irrational. Keep her in your heart and your mind, and she'll have never left you at all.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I'v never experienced anything like this but I'm glad you and your brother had the chance to tell her I love you one last time.

You have my condolences.

I went to high school with a few people who ended up committing suicide, but they were acquaintances. A parent, or other loved one is something entirely different.
