Something awful happened this week. My brother's girlfriend's mother killed herself. She shot herself with a gun on Tuesday. She had a history of depression and that is all I know at this time. I did not know her mother and only meet her once at their baby shower. My brother and his girlfriend have a baby girl 6 days older than Oliver. I feel so awful and heartbroken for his girlfriend. I could not imagine what it would be to lose my mother but to suicide makes it so much harder. There poor daughter will grow up not knowing one of her grandmother. I plan to go up for the funeral when ever it is. I have had a sick feeling in my stomach since I found out on and off. My brother and his GF have been together for about 8 years and went to school together since middle school. I'm sure it is very hard on him too since he has been part of her family for some time.

I feel so sorry for your brother and his gf. That is just horrible. I understand how it makes you feel. Hearing abour suicide/moveis that include suicide really bothers me and make me feel sick. Your brother will appriciate you going to the funeral and being supportive though.

That's horrible Resi, I think its very kind that you are going to pay your respects at the funeral and I know that your brother and his GF will appreciate your being there. My best friend lost her mother last year so I know how hard it is, but it's important to be there for them even if you dont know what to say, your presence and hugs will help a lot.

I can't imagine. I am so sorry  Your brother and his girlfriend will be in my t&p. Death is such a tragic thing, but suicide is a whole different set of emotions to deal with. Again, I am so sorry.

Resi, I'm so sorry!!! I had a friend who tried to commit suicide when I was in 7th grade. I was the only one there for her during that time and all I heard from my parents and other friends was "You're not going to save her if this is what she chooses." But I imagine it's much worse when it's your mom. I thinking of your brother and his girlfriend and your niece. Such a horrible tragedy!!

A very similar thing happened with my co-worker. Her sister committed suicide when her only grand daughter was 6 weeks old. I can't even imagine how your brother's GF is feeling They are all in my thoughts.

I found out last night that they are not having a service of any kind. She has all ready been cremated. My Mom drove today. I'm not going now because there isn't any funeral or anything. To be honest I'm kind of relieved because I did not want to bring Oliver to something like this. I sent out a card today. I'm not close with my brother's GF but I did want to pay my respects to her and her family.

Wow. I'm so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to your family and hers. That's so sad. I don't blame you for feeling a little bit relieved. I wouldn't want to take my baby to something like that either. I've heard babies can pick up on emotions pretty easy and it might stress him out. I think sending a card is good since they weren't having a service.
