Latest communication with my niece is that she and her hubby are both returned to work. Finding it helps keep focused and occupied. They are at different places in their grieving but are receiving so much support from family, community and church. My niece is finding it hard at times in her job (she's a teacher). So, they are moving on . . . grief is still ever present. Thanks for your prayers! CJ

Not sure how I missed your post CJ but I am so deeply sorry for your family. I can't even imagine how horrible this had to have been for his parents and siblings. I hope they're able to understand that he didn't do this to hurt them but was hurting so much himself he most likely didn't even think of the effect on whoever found him. Depression can be so destructive. It is particularly sad when a young person takes their own life. If only they could know that a month or so from the day when all things look so bleak to them their lives could be completely turned around perhaps they'd not harm themselves but most can't ever see that. My prayers for your whole family.
Thank you farmgirl friends. Coming up for this family in the next 3 weeks is the wedding of my niece's niece (daughter of one of her sister's) and the family will all be together again but this time under much happier and more celebratory conditions. I pray for this to promote further healing and bonding in the relationships of the immediate family. My oldest sister (another aunt) and her daughter are traveling for the wedding as well. Thanks again! CJ

Your whole family is still in my prayers CJ! I am glad that there is a wedding happening, that will be a blessing. Praying right there with you for healing and bonding :)
I'm so sorry to hear about this,I just found your post. We had a similar situation in our family a few years ago and there are no words to describe the pain you all must be feeling. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Much love and many hugs, Lu
