Sad News - Can This Week End?
By Jen | November 17, 2007
I'm so in shock right now and completely heartbroken. I am 10 hours away from home and I checked on flights for the girls and I and there just isn't anyway we could afford that :(. I have cried so much.
This was completely unexpected. The sheriff called my mom yesterday to tell her the news. They found my grandpa dead when they walked in. He had a gun in his hand and a gunshot wound to the head. I cannot believe he took his own life.
They put my grandma in the nursing home and he fell into a deep depression because he couldn't stand to be without her. I never dreamed in a million years the depression would lead to killing himself :(.
My mom called me from her cell today and put my grandma on so I could talk with her. She said I sure miss you and the babies and I want to see them. sad sad sad. This is so hard.
Just please keep my grandma and family in prayers. I just hope grandma does not give up now. I'm so scared about that and even my mom said too.

Oh no, Jen, I’m so very sorry for your and your family’s loss. I hope that you can find a way to make it home with the girls, and I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Jen, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. I am sure it is very hard being so far away at this time.

Jen, I am so sorry for your loss. My dad committed suicide, so I know how very hard it is. If you want to talk, you know where to find me. HUGS!

You know my heart aches for you. After almost losing my Mom to suicide I can understand how painful this time is for you and your family.
I’m here…always.

Oh, Jen, my wonderful friend.
Be courageous. I know you will make it through this time of deep sorrow.
I am so very sorry, and you know I will be praying for you and your family, to give you strength during this time.
Don’t blame yourself, that’s the main thing. There is nothing you could have done.
Souls will always meet again, just remember that.
One of my sisters committed suicide 30 years ago, and I still think of her daily.
You can see from the comments here that there are many of us who have been touched by this, and we know what you are going through.

I will definitely be thinking and praying - that is soo very sad. The only comfort I find is that your Grandpa obviously loved his mate so much that life without her wasn’t worth living. How many people have that kind of love in their lives?
I’m certain God will remember someone with a heart that loves like that!

I am new at MM so have not met a lot of others there but Diana posted a link and I just wanted to say that I am so so sad for you. I will be thinking of you and your family.

Jen!!
I don’t know you well - just from MM… but, my grandfather committed suicide from depression too - I’m so sorry for your loss!
We’ll be praying for you and your family - that somehow - a miracle would allow for you and your girls to visit your family who need you (and I imagine you need them too!)…
Take Care of yourself!
