Do you know anyone who has committed suicide?

Brookesmom @Brookesmom (160) • Canada 7 Mar 07

In June of last year my mom committed suicide. There are VERY few people that know that suicide is the COD. Part of me is very ashamed to admit it. Is there anyone else who has had to cope with this? How did you do it?

Brookesmom I haven't seen anyone professionally. My fiance knows, but it's even hard to talk to him about it sometimes. Maybe that's something I'll have to consider. Thank you.

Brookesmom Thank you. I think that's the biggest thing for me is feeling like she did do it to hurt me. I just have a hard time understanding how a person could do that to her children. But it's still fairly recent. I know i will come to grips with it, it's just hard...

Brookesmom I think that suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness. My mom recently committed suicide, and I will never understand it. I think it is a cry for help, which most of the time, is too late. I agree that life is a gift, that should not be wasted. There are so...

Brookesmom I would take it to the police. I would hope someone would do the same for me, if i were ever to lose my ring. I think if the police don't find the owner in a certain amount of time, they give it back to you. After that I may put an ad in the paper, and if...

Do you remove your wedding ring when you wash the dishes?

all4ucnc @all4ucnc (861) • United States 28 Feb 07

I know I probably should, but I honestly never think about it, until after I have already started them. Do you remove your ring?

Brookesmom I don't think wedding/engagement rings have to be anything in particular. I think they should be what the couple likes. There should be no limitations on them in my opinion.

Brookesmom The happiest moment of my life was taking my 6.5 week old daughter home. She was born 2 months premature and spent the first 6.5 weeks of her life in the NICU. The day I took her home I was the happiest woman in the world!

The question is; would you ever choose to be a High School teacher? You are welcome to elaborate, and I'm particularly interested in reasons for saying no. Thank you for your help with this.

Brookesmom I don't think I could ever be a high school teacher. I have a lot of respect for those that have chosen to be! Being a high school teacher is probably a very hard job! They recieve very little respect and have to deal with a lot of people that just dont care.
