Dear Rosheen,
I am so terribly sorry for this tragedy. I am truly at a loss for words.
I offer prayers for you & your family to have the strength for this unbearable burden.
With deepest sympathy,
Marianne

I can't imagine what grief you are bearing in all of this. You must be strong. We are privileged that you came to us to share such awful things. I curse ALS and the lives it takes. Life is precious and fragile. May you be comforted by our love and concern. Rick and I send our heartfelt sympathies.

oh god... thank you all so much for even caring. i am absolutely heartbroken. i'm sorry if my message frightened anyone, but i knew you people would understand what it's like to be terrified since you are all living with ALS or have experienced it. i wanted to talk to people who might understand.
my brother was only 26. he had such a special bond with my mum and this disease destroyed him before her.
C and mum... I was so jealous of it, she seemed to favour him but of course I know now that's nonsense. She loved him just as much but differently. they had the most beautiful bond.
C. as a baby...
he was my playmate, my brother and my best friend (until puberty) After the difficult teen years, we became good friends again. Since mum's diagnosis he became withdrawn, irritable and angry. We often had fallings out over his attitude... we argued the evening before he took his own life. I never got the chance to say sorry.
But I'm sorry, darling. I'm so, so sorry. I didn't understand what you were going through. You never showed me, you never told me. I would have reached out to you, but you had your back turned the entire time. You simply could not live without her. You went ahead so she was not afraid to die.

If I had the words to ease your pain I would share them, but sadly they do not exist. Instead I will simply say that I am very sorry for your loss and to assure you that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May you feel the peace of God's grace and mercy during this difficult time.

I'm heartbroken for you. You see, I know the hell your brother was living in. The ONLY thing that kept me from doing a similar thing a year ago was my four kids. I know for a fact that if I hadn't had to go on for them that there is nothing anyone could have said or done to have kept me alive. Don't blame yourself, there's nothing you could have done to prevent it. Some of us just can't figure out how to get over the despair.

I am so sad tonight. This was something he would have done because of his own pain... Do not take on any blame. You have done nothing. he knows how you feel about him. he just couldn't take the hurt any longer. I am sure he is at peace now. God Bless, Linda
Rosheen,
I don't even know what to say. My heart is breaking for you. I wish you happier memories to help you get through this. My dad took his own life when I was a teenager. Some people just have a tough time dealing with what life has thrown at them. We can't blame them for what they chose to do, we can only continue to love and remember them. If you need to talk, I am here.
With love, Michele
