I'm not sure if this the right place for this, but i wanted to kinda get it out there and vent a little. A close friend of mine lost his wife the other night, he has three little girls. He's completely overwhelmed with what happenend; now he's just left to pick up the pieces and move forward for his family. I've been with him and the family the last couple days helping anyway i can. He has alot of heads of him, today i went over and decorated the house for the little girls for the holidays. If you can donate any little bit will help. http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/help-for-eric-and-his-daughters-/278096 Detail on her passing http://www.rudyfuneral.com/obituaries/Kandis-Lennon/ Thanks so much for letting me get this out there.
 
first off, I'm so sorry for your and the families loss. My 10 yr old niece lost her Dad this summer tragically, so I have an idea of the pain those little girls are feeling.

Is there anything paticular that they need? My family will help anyway we can. If you don't mind, can I ask what happened?
 
She was dealing with some mental health issues among other things and she took her own life. This is a very sensitive subject with anyone that has dealt with someone with mental health issues. I'll touch base with him tomorrow and see what's needed, it's hard because it seems like he's just numb. When trying to figure things out I was generally just getting short vague responses and had to ask some other family members where things stood.
 
I feel your pain as well as theirs. My brother in law did the same. No notice, no goodbye to anyone. Our family will keep them in our prayers.

May she RIP. A reminder to be patient and kind to everyone you encounter - you never really know what people are going through.
As awful as this is I still want to see something positive. The best I can do is that the daughters weren't harmed.
 
This is all so very sad & heartbreaking.

Recently my nephew took his own life, leaving 3 children.
The kids grandmother got custody, then she suddenly died.
The Aunt now has them.

Their other grandmother was diagnosed with cancer & is
expected to die anytime now. I feel so bad for those kids
and the others posted here

Prayers & help of any kind that can be offered need to
be given. Children need comfort and care.

I really wish people would reach out for help before taking this drastic step. Especially if you have young children - you at least owe it to them to give it a solid effort and follow through with treatments.

I hope if any of you are in that situation that you reach out for help - it is out there.
 
Sorry to hear. So terrible to hear about suicides. A co workers 17 year old daughter just shot herself a few nights ago. Really messed him up. No one really had any idea that she was fighting so many demons in her head. I guess it's true, you just never know what the person standing next to you is going through.
 
Donation made. Because my Sister is dealing with what your very good friend is dealing with, I have sent this link to her. She is a Therapist for the wayne/westland school district, I feel that she can help with donations. If your friend needs help dealing with this, please let me know and I will have my Sister reach out to him, she has met several people that can help cope with this loss.
