grieving a suicide death of my son

31. Deepest sympathies on the loss of your son

May you find solace in your memories of him from happier times. You'll never, ever forget your son, but eventually the pain of his loss will subside. I know that's hard to believe, but it's true. Everyone grieves in a different way, so only you can know what your next step should be.

If I may make a suggestion, sometime when you feel up to it, you might enjoy reading Jamie Raskin's book, "Unthinkable." Mr. Raskin deals with the very difficult time he and his family went through after his son committed suicide a year ago. It's shocking that his son's death occurred just before the January 6th insurrection, so he also discusses the politics of the 2nd impeachment proceedings. I found it inspiring that Congressman Raskin was able to work through his pain and grief over his son, while also facing the awful mess in Washington, DC at the same time. It's an amazing book and I thought perhaps you might find something helpful in it for yourself.

Take care, my dear equite, and reach out to let us know how you're doing.
