Mitch@This_is_not_a_real_address.com - 17 Aug 2006 04:17 GMT
Had a stroke.  Went back to hospital.  Is back home.

She died inside.  Her body is still here, and I have to take care of
it.  But Kristen is gone.

I am investigating the best suicide methods for myself.

The boys will be cared for, I hope.

What a strange road.

Bye.

Please don't do that. Your children need you now more than ever.  There are
NGs for depression and grief.  Please seek some comfort or help.  Talk to
your priest or Reverend.  Seek professional counseling.  People are there to
help you. Suicide is not the answer.

Mitch,

I don't know your history, but I'm truly, truly sorry for your loss.

It sounds like you are being very brash right now. I sincerely hope you
are not considering suicide. You need to be alive to see the rest of
your life through with your children, and to keep the memory and
memories of your partner alive. Killing yourself won't do that.

Know that many of us are here for you.

Oh, come on now. Just a week ago you agreed such talk was exaggerated
and premature. It still is.

> I am investigating the best suicide methods for myself.

Mitch, please, contact the nearest mental health professional
immediately. Not this evening, not tomorrow, not next week, but now.

> The boys will be cared for, I hope.

They will be cared for by you, and grow up to be strong men. If you
destroy yourself you will blight their lives. I know you love them too
much to carry out this act. Again, please seek help immediately. Do it
for yourself, and for them.

If it helps, my email address is chessnews at mindspring dot com. I
won't be back online till about 7 this evening, but if you want to
email me, I will reply then.

Mitch, I'm so terribly sorry!  But PLEASE take care of yourself.  As
others have said, your children need you!  If you haven't already found
someone to talk to who can help, please do this now.  And write back to
us to let us know you're still okay!  You and your family are still in
my prayers.

We're all praying for you...

As horrible as this situation is you have come too far and worked too
hard to consider such a drastic option. The only thing that could
possibly be worse for a child than losing one parent is losing both,
they will need to be cared for by you. I'm sure your wife wouldnt want
this, things can only improve with time.
>From somebody fortunate enough to have not had to face such a terrible
ordeal and therefore not qualified to judge I wish you and your family
all the very best.
Keep your options open mate, you owe it to yourself, your kids and your
wife.

Please get some help.   Your boys need you and they will miss you and want
you back if you go.

Mitch,

This past spring my sister in law passed away from a sudden heart attack.
She was on life support for a week before she finally let go.   She left
behind two young children to be cared for by there father.

It is a strange road.   Your boy's mom has been taken away from them, they
need you more than ever now.

I am terribly sorry for your loss, but what bullshit!  You would devastate
your children, who just lost their mother, by committing suicide?  You of
course must realize that you are setting them up for a lifetime of
difficulties and emotional issues?

Please get a grip and get some help.

I just found this thread after not tuning into the group for awhile.
Does anyone know Mitch or have another way to contact him? What do we
do in a case like this-will Google do anything to contact him? This is
a dangerous situation and a cry for help-and should be taken seriously.

Mitch-I am so very sorry about your tragic situation. Please contact a
mental health professional if you haven't by now. Go to a hospital Er
if you have to-they will help hook you up with the right resources.
Your problems and challenges are great, but there is hope and help out
there. I hope that you check back and can let the group know that you
are OK. I'm praying for you and your family.

I've been thinking about Mitch too.  I wish we had some word from him!

Is there anything we can do? Does anyone out there know how to reach
him? He was always so positive and inspiring to others. This gives me a
sick feeling.

Hi,

I attempted a web search for his phone number and email address, based
on clues in his posts - his wife's name, the fact she was treated in
Chicago.... I couldn't get a match.

Mitch, if you are out there, please post and tell us how you are.

Neil
michaela49@gmail.com - 27 Aug 2006 17:22 GMT
Thanks for doing that Neil. My husband mentioned that Google monitors
the groups and might have been able to track him down thru his ISP.
What do you think? You can't see anything under his profile, which
seems a little strange. We can only hope that he is OK and will post
soon.

If he's got a helpless wife to take care of and several children, he may not
be thinking of Usenet and posting here anymore. His hands are full.

Don't worry about what people think,
they don't do it very often.

This is horrible.  I'm so sorry to hear this.  I hope you've found some
reason to hope since you wrote this.

> I am investigating the best suicide methods for myself.

How about you hold off on doing that for a little while.  Okay?   I know
you're in wrenching pain, but keep breathing, in and out, over and over
again.  Can you just do that for a little while longer until you can
imagine a future?  Because right now you can't imagine one but you'll be
able to in a little while.

In fact, it's been two weeks since you wrote this.  Are you starting to
see any way through?

> The boys will be cared for, I hope.

Boys need a father.

> What a strange road.

Anyone who has ever loved has felt pain.  This isn't a strange road,
this is the ONLY road.  I'm so sorry that you're in a bad place on it,
but you CAN make it through.  Countless others have.  You can to.  The
secret is to just focus on breathing in and out, over and over again.

> Bye.

Come back, please.
