Sorry for your loss. That's just a horrible thing to have to deal with.

A very old friend of mine lost her husband to suicide 5 yrs ago. He came from a Catholic family and he considered himself to be very religious... at his big catholic funeral one of the nuns took it upon herself to berate the widow for all of his so called transgressions and even told her that he had no right to be buried in that cemetary nor have that funeral mass because he (a) committed suicide and was cremated. The whole scene was so emotionally horrific for her, she fainted on the spot.
My guess is the family wrote a realllllly big check to that parish.
I'm sorry for your family's loss and I hope none of you have to endure anything close to what she did.

Lost my brother in 2009 to overdose. He was 29. You have my deepest condolences.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I too lost a cousin that way when I was 20 - they found him in a gutter.

It's very hard on the people who loved him who wanted him well. Particularly any immediate family.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Had a similar situation when I flew to Ohio a week ago for my brother's funeral. I suspected an OD but apparently it was a heart attack despite being only 44.

The preacher was crying, yelling, and claiming he was in a better place; that we should be happy he was in a better place; with the family that had gone before etc., and I just kept my mouth shut.

If it gives my step mother comfort to believe her son is with my dad somewhere, I guess I can live with it.

Oh I am so sorry. 39 is no age. Hugs to you

Your family has my sympathy.

so sorry about your cousin. ? sometimes silence is best when you don't really know what to say.
