Your post really does express how I've felt about him as well... so sad and unbelievable that he was in such despair that he felt that was the only option...

From experience I know how falling lower and lower can lead to just falling even farther (depression)-and being there, so low, gives a false sense of what the truth is. Hopelessness is something you can fall into and believe with all of your heart - now throw in something like alcohol and what you believe is even further distorted - and it is more than a belief, it is a feeling and a filter put over your eyes so that everything you see is surely hopeless. It takes the miracle of self -realization and faith from your personal connection to something, anything (and a brain clear from alcohol and drugs) to start the climb back up into the wonderful world that is really here. It does have to come from within the person suffering before the filters can come off - no one on the outside can change or heal a person from hopelessness. Lots of love and support and information - knowledge- and patience can, however, plant the seeds for healing! I am so sorry for the loss of Corey and the hurt that comes from not knowing.Malindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-31160181451604043342009-03-30T20:44:00.000-04:002009-03-30T20:44:00.000-04:00I can only imagine how you and David felt and cont...I can only imagine how you and David felt and continue to feel about Corey and what he did. I think the reason I actually even brought it up is because I seem to remember anniversaries on years five and ten as opposed to every year. And with all the suicides in the news lately, it just seems to have brought up latent thoughts, memories, and feelings that I have myself about Corey. Alice, I remember so clearly that night that you called! We had always expected a call that he'd been hurt or killed in a car accident -but when "he killed himself" came out of your mouth and thru the phone ... it was probably as surreal for you to say it as it was for us to hear it. And just think how many families have gone through the same thing. So sad. I was hoping that no one would be offended by such a gloomy post ... I guess I was just trying to wrap my brain around it yet again. Thank goodness these moments are few and far between!Wander to the Waysidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056931538024315352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949599201485766767.post-10929534194085985142009-03-30T15:20:00.000-04:002009-03-30T15:20:00.000-04:00Sorry, it has been 5 years.

I cannot believe it's been 5 years, but with all the stuff with mom going on, I guess time went faster than when I was in the middle of it. My bad.

I have struggled for the past 4 years (I think it's been 4, not 5) trying to make sense of what Corey did -- that he could feel so much pain and hopelessness that not living was preferable. I wish I could just take him in my arms and hold him and rock him, and tell him how much I love him -- as crazy-making as he was. My heart hurts and my eyes hurt from wanting to cry for him.
