welcome back blackflag- how have things been? Way to go Daisy- making great strides.

Resolve- a little off topic, but I just noticed my avatar kinda looks like a goalie trying save a bounce off your avatar when I see them on the same page....and I'm not even drinking

Greetings Nesters,

I just wanted to say thanks for the support & the private messages - I feel the love & appreciate all of you.

Sadly, last night my BIL decided to take his own life, in his garage. We are (were) neighbors.
He had lived with profound depression since his 18 year old son died in an AL related accident back in 2003. And yes, the choice he made to end his suffering was fueled by a day of hard drinking with a 'friend'.
He leaves a wife, a daughter & two very young grandchildren. This is the choice he made for himself. The rest of us are left to cope. Yet another example of how AL kills & kills again ;(

Wishing everyone a safe & cozy night in the nest! Be kind to yourselves & loved ones!

Lav

I'm so sorry for your family's loss, Lav. Thank you for sharing with us the role alcohol played in this tragedy. It is so important that we all take this very seriously.
I hope that all the people who loved him can find peace.

xx, NS

Lav, there are no words to help and heal, only time....but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...

Bless, O God of eternal life,
all who have died
by their own hand.
Grant them peace
from their inner turmoil
and the compassion of your love.
Comfort those who mourn
their loved ones.
Strengthen them to face the questions of pain,
the guilt and anger,
the irreparable loss.
Help us to reach out in love
to others who prefer death
to the choices of life
and to their families who grieve.

Just checking in. It's been a on weekend. My wife and I drove 11 hundred miles to be with my dad. He's not doing good we have no idea how much time he has left with us. He is home, where he wants to be. I believe it's in God's hands at this point. No alcohol or drug urges for me. Thank god. Just gives me more reason to stay clean. He's been drinking my whole life, just caught up with him I guess. God bless to all have a great nite.

[Mr. B]

My prayers are with you lav
