Ptree, Sorry to read this, prayers for your loss and strength for you and your wife at this juncture in your life. This has been a tough year for members of the forum and prayers abundantly needed to strengthen the members in their loss of sons. May God grant us strength and peace in this time of need. Jerry

Dear Jeff, Sorry that I did not know about your loss until today, even though I am a regular reader of your posts. Having read so much of what you have written I have come to respect you greatly. I can only say how sorry I am to hear of your loss.

With the greatest of respect,

Chris, (from the UK)

To all my friends who have posted and prayed, I offer my deepest gratitude. They past 6 months since my son took his life have been very hard. We continue to heal, but it is very very slow. I have not posted as often as I should, and have not been able to read the good thoughts you sent often as it is still very very raw.
From the bottom of my broken heart, thank you.
With good friends sorrow is divided, and joy multiplied.

Today is the year anneriversary of my son's death. It has been a hard year. The prayers and thoughts of friends near and far have been of great help. My famiy continues to heal, but some very slowely. My wife faces empty nest soon as my youngest goes away to complete schooling, and my younger son has graduated and seeks a job that will most likely have him across the country. The oldest heals from her medical issues and is still at home, and that is some help as they help each other.
My prime job is yet to be there to catch them when the fall, boast them when they need, and listen if they can bear to talk about it. Mostly not, and I am just here, ready, and wishing there was something to pull this great hurt from their hearts. Nothing can help the heart of a parent that has lost a child. Just not the way life should be.
My close to here blacksmith friends treat me like I treat my family, they are quiet, but ready to catch ME when I fall, boast when they can and listen when I can talk.

From the bottom of my broken heart, thank you.
With good friends sorrow is divided, and joy multiplied.

Ptree, my thoughts are still with your family. I still remember when you and Larry both posted about your tragedies within a day of each other and I was totally saddened and the thought of what you were going through.

Hang in there Jeff. I wish you the best.
