Answers:

First, I am so very sorry this has happened to you. You must wonder why you were spared--survivor's guilt, I'm sure. But you were spared: you believe in God, so you must believe he has a plan for you. It's so hard to believe that, I know. You're eating properly and getting exercise, so your body is being taken care of as much as you can control that. Your mind is suffering though. I understand you have no insurance, but are you able to get to a doctor? If you are, please do that. It would appear you're not on the right medication. Nobody expects you to bounce back quickly, but you should not be trying to kill yourself either--although I understand, or think I do, why you feel you want to do that. I don't know you, but I saw your posting and it really affected me. If you can affect a total stranger in this way, maybe you can talk about your experience to help others--either by writing or by speaking. Perhaps speaking is a bit much for you at this point, but writing is extremely therapeutic. You've been through perhaps the most horrific thing a person can experience--the loss of a child and a partner. I really feel for you, sincerely. Would your wife want you to end it all? I'm sure you've been asked this before, but, as an outsider, I can only speculate that a partner who is now at peace would want you to be at peace too. Please don't kill yourself. God has other plans for you, but I know you have to believe that. Just as an aside, it's the one year anniversary of a very close family member's suicide, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and wish he were here. The world was a better place with him in it, and it is a better place for you being here. It's a struggle every single day--that you have to recognize first--but it will get easier. All words will sound hollow to you, I'm sure, but, as I say, if you can affect cynical old me with your story, you can and will affect others. I truly wish you happiness, and hope you can work toward finding it. Best wishes.
