Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 A friend of the family's committed suicide on Friday. I just don't understand it. I have been sick for over 16 years not knowing what was wrong and yes there were times when I felt totally so hopeless. How can I live like this from bed to the kitchen or bathroom back to bed. Now feeling worse, because abx are doing it's thing. I'm herxing and feeling like s**t! Can't stop crying. I know it will get better, but not today. This lady friend was told by a physician that she had cervical/ovarian cancer. Same thing her mom died of. So she got all her affairs together and decided to end her life. She had no symptoms, she was in no physical pain, she seemed fine - well except for what the doctor had told her. So last Thursday night she took a bunch of pills went to bed and waited for her life to end. She woke up the next morning - she was still alive! So she waited for her husband to leave for work. Found a gun and finished it. Her husband came home around 5ish and grabbed the mail outside, went inside and found his wife dead. The saddest part was that a few days later he opened the envelope from the lab. She was negative for cervical/ovarian cancer. I'm herxing and I am totally sad/crying at such a senseless loss. I just can't wrap my brain around this. It just is hurting so badly, she was only 52. So senseless!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 J-- I'm sorry for your pain. My SIL took her life four years ago--it was completely unexpected--she was only 48--left behind 2 gorgeous young girls--still can't believe she is gone. Now when I look back at where she vacationed each summer and her symptoms, I truly wonder if she had Lyme all along--was diagnosed with fibromylagia a few years prior--I know not everything is Lyme, but I do wonder if she could have been helped if she had just stayed with us for awhile longer......... I can't imagine the emotional and/or physical pain that one must reach to feel that death is the only way out...........it is a true loss!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Absolutely horrible loss Jeannie. I will pray for you and those who loved her. What a tragic, horrible loss. I bet that doctor barely bats an eyelash at what he triggered... But it's done now isn't it. I also suffered horribly... for me it was 18 years ago it started but was diagnosed 8 years into that. I still suffer at times. I held on during my misdiagnosed years (cfs,fibro) because I just hoped that someday there would be a treatment or even a cure. I found treatment and I have a life now out of bed even out of the house! It wasn't easy especially in the beginning but it was worth it. My life isn't easy but easier than it was but when it hit my brain it got harder... much easier to give up..more suffering. I got close one time but got to the hospital before I did anything. Your friend must have really been traumatized by her mother's dying... to witness such suffering. Mental pain and suffering is so much worse than physical...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 My heart goes out to you. Its always sad when you know someone is making bad choices. But remember you are NOT to blame. And where there is life there is still hope! A big hug to you! www.lyme-resource.com You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! - > Re: [ ] feeling really really sad over suicide. > > A friend of the family's committed suicide on Friday.
