Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Good Day All: I am grateful that many of you enjoyed the Mayo Jar & Coffee. My heart goes out to you as well Barb. I can truly relate to your pain. I had previously mentioned in my post to Gregor that I had landed in the hospital with suicidal ideation's. That was in October of 2001. In August of 2001 my brother's son committed suicide at the young, young age of 23. This was a big loss to our family. When I landed in the hospital, and year long treatment program the same year, I could not tell my brother what had really happened to me. Even though we lived a 1,000 miles apart, we stayed in touch on a regular basis, but I could never confide to my " big " brother. He died in March of 2003 at the age of 55. He never knew the real story of my illness. Shame and fear of really upsetting my brother still bothers me today. As they say, I will take this one secret (from my brother) to the grave with me. Thank God I had so many good friends who rallied around me in my time of despair and need. I really needed them. Enough of this, I am getting tears in my eyes. Gregor, please keep reaching out and asking for help. I know I really needed good professional people. Some of the best came from the weekly visits I had with my " Social Workers " . Talk about fantastic people. Again, hang in there Gregor. As a parent with 3 children, a daughter who is 21 today, and two sons, aged 19 and 15, please get the help you need!!!!!!!!!!..
