Aussie Annie Posted April 20, 2011 #1 Posted April 20, 2011 I have just had the sad news from my sister that my 20 year old nephew was in so much personal pain, that he took his own life! Rest in peace Chris. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk.
T.J. Posted April 20, 2011 #2 Posted April 20, 2011 Sorry to hear that Annie. I hope the family will heal quickly over this.
teza51 Posted April 20, 2011 #3 Posted April 20, 2011 Its a shame that no one could reach out to him in time to stop such a tragedy this is really a terrible time for the family and friends that are left behind to wonder RIP.
ragtop69gs Posted April 20, 2011 #5 Posted April 20, 2011 Bad news indeed. Sorry to hear that. I just had a friend do the same thing a few weeks ago. The pain became overwhelming and after several years of enduring it, he'd had enough. Not easy for us, but, it's what he needed to do.
cecdoo Posted April 20, 2011 #6 Posted April 20, 2011 Sorry for your loss Annie, your family will be in our thoughts. Craig
Freebird Posted April 20, 2011 #7 Posted April 20, 2011 So sorry to hear it. The news of a young person taking their own life probably breaks my heart about as much as anything. It is happening way too often. You will all be in our prayers.
saddlebum Posted April 20, 2011 #8 Posted April 20, 2011 This is so very sad to hear I am extremely sorry for you and your sisters loss, and for Chris to feel this was his only answer for whatever his pain was. Prayers be with all concerned.
kenw Posted April 20, 2011 #9 Posted April 20, 2011 I'm sorry to hear of the loss! My prayers are out there for all you and all your family!
Carbon_One Posted April 20, 2011 #10 Posted April 20, 2011 I too have a heavy heart reading this kind of news. My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends of this young man. Larry
1joeranger Posted April 20, 2011 #11 Posted April 20, 2011 My Dad went that way! I love him and think of him often. Hated that he left this world all alone. I would have gladly been there to hold his hand even though the pain would have cost me dearly. I am so sorry for your loss. Please pass on my empathy, sympathy, love, and prayers to your sister.
Grandpagak Posted April 20, 2011 #12 Posted April 20, 2011 Our prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. our hearts are out to your family.. may the lord be with you..

Bubber Posted April 20, 2011 #15 Posted April 20, 2011 I am always at a loss for words at times like this. I am sorry to hear of someone taking their own life especially someone so young. So sorry to hear of your loss, I am sure he will be missed. Bubber
eagleeye Posted April 20, 2011 #16 Posted April 20, 2011 I am sorry to hear that your nephew was in such pain. My thoughts go out to you and your family. Steve
Squidley Posted April 20, 2011 #17 Posted April 20, 2011 All the best to you and your family Annie, I had my best friend do the same at 17. may you remember the good times and know that his soul suffers no more.
Aussie Annie Posted April 20, 2011 Author #19 Posted April 20, 2011 Thank you all for your kind words. My sister lost her husband to brain cancer two years ago...now this. I don't think Chris ever got over the loss. He used to talk to me a lot, and his Uncle AL helped him find a bike to buy recently. Just wish he could have come to us this time.

Motorcycle Mike Posted April 20, 2011 #20 Posted April 20, 2011 So very, very sorry to hear this. Shirley and I will include you and your family, especially you sister, in our prayers.
Condor Posted April 20, 2011 #21 Posted April 20, 2011 Annie, I know it's hard to deal with especially when it's close family, and it happens all too often. Prayer sent and tears shed....
sarges46 Posted April 20, 2011 #22 Posted April 20, 2011 This is probably the worst a parent ever wants to contend with. They will always feel guilty.....no matter what. Poor kid....to be so sad. Our thoughts go with you and your family Annie. All the best.
Iowa Guy Posted April 20, 2011 #23 Posted April 20, 2011 Sorry to hear of this and I know the pain it can bring to those who are left behind. I am a counselor and frequently work with folks who are depressed and in pain. Over the course of my career, I have lost a few patients to suicide even though I was watching for signs and checking with them on a regular basis. It can be very difficult to predict and intervene. God Bless Iowa Guy
BuckShot Posted April 20, 2011 #24 Posted April 20, 2011 Annie,so sorry to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
steamer Posted April 21, 2011 #25 Posted April 21, 2011 Thoughts and prayers heading your and your sisters way.
