What do you do, where do you go when their disease wins? I wanted for us to be together. I was working on the things I learned here. He was working on recovering. Weekly counseling and a psychiatric help. I thought he was getting better. I thought there was hope that we could get back to the best parts of us. Then he took his own life. I am so lost.

I am so very sorry for your loss! This truly is a tragedy! May you know that you have comfort and support here. It is extremely important to express your feelings in writing such as your posts, to seek counseling when you wish, to shout out your hurt, and to even work out your hurt by way of exercising. Please do take care, my friend! Our hearts bleed with you and for you!
