In reply to the discussion: My son committed suicide 1/27/2022-I heard from the White House staff [View all]crickets
(25,990 posts)56. Thank you so much for sharing this, crimycarny.
I cannot imagine how difficult it has been to cope with the loss of your son. I am so sorry.
How wonderful that we have a man in the White House so empathetic, with a staff to match. How lovely that someone from that staff called you to lend an ear, a shoulder, and some good advice just because you needed it. I am smiling through tears, so grateful for that on your behalf.
I don't know what else I to say except that I wish you peace and comfort, and many virtual hugs are winging your way.
