****.
She always had depression issues and was taking medicine. But she had a glaucoma last year. Lost most of her eyesight and stopped going to work, church, etc.
So, about an hour ago, I heard my mom crying like crazy. I asked her what happened, and she said that Milena (her brother's wife) just called her, saying that my aunt went to her brother's apartment (tenth floor, no protection webs on the windows) and ran to the window and jumped.
Now, the worst thing wasn't the fact that my aunt took her own life. Having to comfort my siblings and mom just sucks.
Sorry for the rant.

| | | | Oh man, that must be so shocking.
Just a gentle suggestion: Don't take all the responsibility on yourself to comfort the family -- you're just one single human. You've got to deal with the shock yourself -- who's comforting you?
Best of luck getting used to this tragedy. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Joao Pessoa, Brazil | | | ^ Honestly, I'm not very shocked about her suicide; it was kinda predictable... I'm shocked about my mom's peace of mind. She faced a nasty divorce and one of her best friends passed away since last year. Mom's boyfriend lives in Ireland and comes here every couple of months, he can't comfort her the right way if he's not phisically here.

|  | Registered User | | | | | not a good thing for families dude, i think my grandfather's suicide, spurred on a lot of the poor communication, substance abuse, and negativity my family is dealing with about 12 years later, and i still am making art about the mind and depression |

About 11 months ago, my Uncle, who suffered severe depression also, took his own life.
The family understood that he was suffering, and that his action to take his life was not to create sadness in the family. It was the only way he felt he could escape the torment. And we all were comforted in knowing his long suffering was over.
We all hold dear our memories of him, and we will miss his playing guitar, and singing his favourite Johnny Cash songs whenever the family gathered.
Remember your Aunt at her best, and do not feel sorrow.
Celebrate her life, and respect her decision to end it.
Peace to her soul, and again, my deepest condolences to you and your family in this difficult time.

| | | | I've been there a couple of times. My dad (bipolar disorder) took his own life by asphyxiation about 20 years ago, and my daughter's mother (depression) hanged herself about 7 months ago.
It is a brutally difficult thing to deal with, but it does get easier. It just takes time, and a lot of it.

Dad just told me that she had tried to kill herself more than once. She drank acid once, tried to asphixiate to death... The maid used to hide the house's knifes everytime my aunt was home.
So this is how it happened. Today's my other aunt's (who is my dead aunt's sister and my mother's sister) birthday.
My aunt went to her brother's home for lunch, as her husband was on the bar with my uncles. On the apartment was my aunt, her daughter and the suicider. My aunt started running to the window out of nothing and my cousin tried to grab her, but she had jumped already.

I'm sorry to hear about that situation Marco, my grandfather drowned during the floods we had here 10 years ago, he chose to opt out of deep depression after years of battling it, too much, for too long.
Take it easy on yourself, do what you can for the comfort of your family, but, take it easy on yourself too ; )
