I just got off the phone with my daughter-in-law, her uncle shot himself over the weekend and his body was discovered earlier today. She is absolutely heartbroken. She doesn't know yet when the funeral will be. What I need is size 22/24 clothing that is appropriate for the funeral and visitation. Her stepmom has nothing to wear and needs size 22/24. Jamie said she or my son can meet up with anyone who can help and pick up the clothing. I no longer have anything in this size but I assured Jamie that someone in our group will have something that will work. She said slacks and tops would be fine. Of course, she would love for her to have a dress for the actual funeral but slacks would be fine too. Just let me know if you can help and I'll help you make the connection to have the clothing picked up. Also, keep Jamie, David and their boys, Nathan and Logan in your prayers. This has really hit them all hard. My son was very close to Jamie's uncle and the boys thought the world of him. She said Logan, the younger one, told my son that his "heart hurt" after they broke the news to them.

Susan, I wished that I had some clothes that size to share, but I have already passed them on. My heart hurts as well for Jamie and her family, I will keep them in my prayers and Jamie as well, because of her pain she is going to have a difficult time taking care of everyone else. Shelia

Susan, I have been in Jaime's shoes before, and I know it is not an easy road. We will keep Jamie and her family, as well as yours in our thoughts and prayers !

Yeah, me too. I lost my younger brother to suicide 21 years ago. I don't know if I'll be able to handle the funeral home and service or not. I'm going to try for the sake of Jamie, my son and my grandsons. I covet your prayers for myself just to be able to be a support for them through this. He did leave a note with instructions for getting in touch with his daughters and where his funeral arrangements were. He had already planned and paid for his funeral so they don't have to do that at least. Now they just have to deal with the why's and if only's.

Susan, I have a 2x dress, she is more than welcome to, I can check other clothes, to see what else I have. I don't mind. If there is anything I can do. . Just found a dress that Ash bought when she worked at Goodys. she would need a jacket with it but it is a 24w. I could send both dresses if you would like. I could have ash meet ya'll half way. Or what ever. Barb

My son and daughter-in-law live in Antioch so they are a bit closer to you than I am. If you want to PM your phone number to me I will get it to them and one of them can meet you or come to you. Thanks.

Oh Susan...I am so sorry! Your family must be in shock. we have been battling the suicide demon with my daughter, Amelia. Her boyfriend shot himself a year ago in August and since then we have stuggled to keep her from joining him. I feel your grief. I don't know if I have anything left in those sizes ornot but I will surely check when I get home. I will post as soon as I have a chance to check. My heart is with you sweet girlie. If you need a friend...just holler and I will come running! Freddie

I hate to hear of your struggles with your daughter. I know there used to be a support group in Nashville for people who had lost someone to suicide. It was run by the Crisis Intervention Center and was called Survivors of Suicide. This group literally saved my life after the death of my brother. I do hope your daughter is in counseling. It's also worth checking to see if this group is still running. It is a place where you can laugh, cry, or express any other feeling or emotion you have without fear of judgement. Thank you for your friendship. This is starting to get to me. I don't know how I'll handle going to the funeral home but I know I have to do it for my son, daughter-in-law and grandsons.
