I am just looking for someone to talk to. My husband trid to hang himself about a week ago and I found him in enought time to save him. I started CPR and was able to recesitate him. but am having a hard time coping with things, and the fact the put him in a state mental facility instead of a treatment center for alcaholism and depression. If anyone has any helpful words or prayers please contact me.

Dear wife_of_faith, I'm very sorry to read your message and hear what's happened. Any wonder you feel you're not coping... that would be extremely traumatic. I hope you have other family and friends around you for support at this time. I wonder if you have thought about seeing a counsellor immediately to help you work through what has happened? After trauma it's usually better to get help or advice as fast as possible rather than waiting weeks or months.

thinking of you.

I cannot even imagine finding your husband hanging...:( You have come to the right forum for support wife..please continue to talk to us. Sending prayers and positive thoughts. :grouphug:

Has anyone had any contact with wife_of_faith since her posts here and elsewhere at NeuroTalk? Very concerned.

No Lara, she posted on several forums on the 12th but nothing since then. I think she hoped to "talk" right then. :( I hope she comes back. :hug:

I can remember, a long time ago, when I was first getting used to using forums... reading at other forums, perhaps writing something... then never remembering to go back. I was thinking that might have happened with this dear lady. Life likely overwhelmed her, too... so sad.

:grouphug:

That make's me quite angry as well, this is a human being we are talking about,that deserves what everyone else deserves!!!:mad:

the wreck of two orphans
 

my friend who was orphaned to suicide & breast cancer has opened up that he and his brother knew what was going on at the time. it is good that he can share this and that we know what happened to him now. finding him on fb is like getting a family member back.

welcome back david mack.

David is missed here..he's busy with his new grandson and that's a good and positive thing. Thanks tied. :hug:
