Shireen, I am so sorry about the tragic death of your son. My son also died by suicide when he was 18 years old. We didn’t understand and were mystified regarding his action. He was the child we didn’t worry about because he was smart, artistic, sensitive and always following the rules. What you are experiencing is quite common among those of us trying to understand and cope with a suicide death. It takes a long time but the caring support of family, friends and other bereaved parents can ease the trauma.
I am connected to a peer bereavement support program for persons coping with a suicide death.

You can learn how to cope and after a long time you can resume a productive life. You had your son for 34 years and you can’t get through this in 34 weeks or months but you can function again.
