Looking for help......

Hey man, I see you're a Navy vet. Remember that Chief you had that you could discuss anything with. Well, I'm that guy. Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll respond with mine. I promise not to bug you, I'll only respond to you at your request. We've got a connection here only a fellow Navyman will understand. Best of luck whatever you decide.

Bob, you have taken the first step to your recovery from this. All the folks here hearts are behind you. These people have helped each other through some real tough times. I'm one of them that has been helped. Two fine young men in my extended family have taken their lives. It hurts but you can recover. Take one day at a time. If you need to get something out get it out. I'll send you a PM. I live alone and am available anytime night are day.

I have heard people say...

I can't and don't want to try to imagine what it is like losing a child. I've heard others say that one day the sun will come out and I can only take their word that that is so. And that life has to go on. Everybody has to do it the way that works for them and there are no canned answers. Something like 'The Five Stages of Grief" may help shed a little light on things. I'm sure support groups could be helpful, but be wary of the ones where people don't really want to get better. In the meantime we have shoulders to lean on to help you get on your way.

I want to thank everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers. If I haven't responded to you in a PM, I really appreciate being part of an extended family with like interests. I hope to meet and talk to some of the virginia members.
Much love to y'all. If you feel like talking to me for support please give me a call at 7573627164. Thanks again.

I would truly like to thank all of you for the immense support I've received. I feel truly blessed with all the love and caring shown on this forum. If you've left a PM and I haven't gotten back to you yet, it's because of the number of people who have shown concern. I'll try to talk to each of you. Thank y'all so much for all the love and caring.

Bob

I can't imagine the torture you are going through. I've lost a friend to suicide and will never know what he was thinking. I wish he had reached out to me but he kept his pain inside.

I'll say another prayer for your peace.

I've known people who've done what you speak of. My best childhood friend went in a direction which ultimately led to his death. I still miss him and there was nothing I could do to bring him back in my direction. There's no way of knowing what they're thinking if they don't speak up. I found out that trying to learn how to just play guitar, be able to fix them and make them keeps my brain working in a positive direction. Without music the world would B flat.

It might be time for you to get a puppy. A fun dog, not a little dog-like substance, but a dog who can and will be your buddy and whom you can re-learn to have an active fun life with.
Find a lab, a shepherd, or a bird dog, and the time you will spend teaching it will move you, and your family along on a tough road.
It's amazing how we reconnect and wake back up simply because a new bundle of energy comes into our lives. Dogs are positive; you need that.

I have 2 Great Danes and a little fuzzy pound puppy that are always by my side when I'm feeling down. It's amazing how well they can read me.....

A few weeks back we were invited to a cookout at a friends house. There was a couple that had a service dog. The husband is diagnosed with PTSD and he was eligible for the service dog program. The program gives the option that you provide the dog and the Gov. is paying for the training. I do not remember the breed, but he said the dog can give him comfort in crowded areas that make him uncomfortable. And the dog can even sense when he has a nightmare and wake him up. It's incredible how animals can read us...

Glad you have the dogs. They ask nothing and give everything.

Hope you are doing well. If you need to chat just poke us with a stick.
