My son Halil took his own life a few days ago, at the age of 23. we cremated him today. this is the lid of the casket that the family painted for him. He suffered from depression and found life difficult enough, but then he got in trouble and it became unbearable for him. It didn't matter how much we loved and cherished him, he found it hard to love himself.
so sad
if you wish to send me a personal message do so at kali66@outlook.co.nz but as I still dont have my own computer i may not be able to reply for a while.
Oh Kali - I think you are very brave posting this when you are hurting so much! My eyes are full of tears for you! My deepest sympathy to you and your family!
Kali - I am so saddened to hear this. And I can't actually think of any words that would console for the loss of your son. I hope you have some loving support to wrap around you .. especially at this time of year. Take care x
that is unbearably sad - your poor boy kali, clearly deeply loved and himself a lover of nature and animals from that beautiful painting - keeping you in my thoughts
So sorry to hear this. I also have no words that could possibly console other than saying I hope you have the support you need and my thoughts are with you.
So so so sorry. I will email you. As a mother of a 22 year old daughter who took her own life, I can imagine the devastating effect this has on you all. God bless you all at this time, with kind words and comfort.
My husband's grandson committed suicide last month, so I know how you feel. I think he too could not feel the love that was extended to him. Depression is an awful thing and swallows people whole. I hope you feel the love sent to you from we 365rs.
What tragic news. I sat looking at my computer keys for quite some time thinking of what words I could write to convey the wishes I wanted to send to you. I think there are no words so I only say that I am thinking of you at this desperate time.
My heart breaks for you and your family, a good friend took his life last year only 40 years old having suffered depression from his teen years. He never knew how so very valued he was. A misunderstood disease that sadly claims more than is bearable. Thank you for posting. I too hope you can feel that we care.
Dear friend Kali, I am so sorry to hear this. Wish I could be there to give you lots of hugs and support. In lieu of that, you will be in my prayers every day. Take care of yourself and lean on your support system.
Oh, Kali... I couldn't believe what I was reading and had to go back to the beginning and start again. This is a truly dreadful, horrific thing to have happened and my heart goes out to you and yours. I will pray to my God for you that you might find comfort and solace in the days and weeks to come. Be strong, but cry lots....
This is really really heartbreaking and so sorry to hear. As a parent and grandparent myself I can only imagine your pain. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I am so so sorry. It is so painful for a mum to see her children suffering from depression. To see love are abundant but invisible to her son; It is so hurting for a mum who fight to break the black wall surrounding her son but the wall is indestructible. I pray for your heart stop bleeding and your son rest in peace where love is finally revealed.
with deepest sympathies and heartfelt comforting thoughts that you and yours will find solace as you grieve the loss of your son and accept of the mysteries the illness with which he struggled...peace be with you
I´m so very sorry to read this, I´m deeply sorry for your loss Kali! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time, I am wishing you a lot of strenght and peace of mind. Such beautiful and precious lid, a wonderful idea to personalize the casket.
kali, i hope the wound is starting to heal, and my thoughts are with you and your family in this special time of the year for me. stay strong, my friend.
Kali.. My sincere thoughts go out to you and your family. I completely understand what you are going through having experienced a very similar circumstance personally. Kia Kaha
Kali, so sorry to hear this. Just stopped by, and couldn't believe what i was reading. Will send you a message on your mail. Take care, dear friend. Lots of love
Still thinking about you wanting to reach out in this worst possible time. It is just so hard and it makes me so mad then so sad. I really hate it. Missing your photos.
Kali I have been away for sometime and only returned to 365 today.... I was devastated to hear your heartbreaking news... my heart breaks for you. Sending you and your family all of my love xxxxxxx
I'm so sorry for your loss. Suicide is one of the most painful things. Here in the US we have things like group counseling for those close to those who committed suicide and my friend found it very helpful, I hope you're able to get whatever sort of understanding and comfort you need where you are.
Oh my goodness Kali, I wondered why I haven't seen you and came to find out. I am so sorry, I hope you have lots of people around to help you through this time. I know what it's like to lose a child, hugs, prayers and thoughts are with you.
I'm late hearing of your tragic loss. I can only imagine the grief you and your family have been experiencing. Depression can go so deep and feel so hopeless. We lose too many young people to this serious illness.
My heart and prayers go out to you--((((big, warm hugs, too.)))))
I love the casket painting--it's a beautiful tribute to your lost boy.
I only just read this. I feel so heartily for you and your family . So sad. My son is 23 and I think how long his lifetime seems to have been. And all the agonies you must be going through. My prayers and thoughts are with you to find some solace through this difficult time. Lovely individual casket.
Hugs to you.
No mother should ever have to bear such pain. I am so sorry for your impossible loss, Kali. I know it has been sometime since then, but I am sure you are still hurting and part of you will always be. Love and prayers to you for comfort whenever you need it. Wish I could give you a hug.
I will keep you in my thoughts.
hope you are holding on
have asked Paul to watch over you all
hugs
I think of you, Kali! You are a strong woman and I hope that the sun will shine for you again soon.
My heart and prayers go out to you--((((big, warm hugs, too.)))))
I love the casket painting--it's a beautiful tribute to your lost boy.
Hugs to you.
