[quote=Anonymous]A dear friend's DH committed suicide not to long ago. I, like you, did not know what to say. In talking to her, I learned that she just needed someone to be there to listen to her, to understand her pain, to tell her that it was ok to hurt, and help her keep focused on the kids. She had great counseling options but having friends who check in for just no reason to say "Hey, I"m thinking about you. I love you. How are you today" or "I know today sucks. It's ok to cry. We'll work on making tomorrow better" is really clutch. Also, the check ins, calls, and care will need to happen for years to come. Helping hands come in very heavy in the beginning but seem to wane after a few months, but the pain is there for years. She doesn't expect you to know what to say so let her know that you're thinking about her. Keeping your cousin in my thoughts. [/quote]
