My best friend and her wife lost their 17 y.o. son to suicide on January 2 of this year. I posted in the lounge to see if there were resources that any DU'ers had. I'll look for my thread and post it when I find it. I was able to connect with a wonderful lady who I had a very comforting conversation with. I'm still looking at options and I have found some resources. I'm not feeling well right now (as I've been grieving very deeply as this young man was like a nephew to me who I loved so very much). When I wake up from my nap, I post some resources..
