Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate Mental-Illness for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 58 million people.
Coping with Suicide Loss
Even though it may seem difficult, maintaining contact with other people is especially important during the stress-filled months after a loved one’s suicide. When you feel ready, begin to go on with your life. Children experience many of the feelings of adult grief, and are particularly vulnerable to feeling abandoned and guilty. Reassure them that the death was not their fault. Listen to their questions, and try to offer honest, straightforward, age-appropriate answers.

It is as if you were just going thru the motions of life, with no purpose whatsoever and unable to see the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel”. In some cases, it leads to suicide.
