But I still need to vent.

My wife tried to commit suicide this Friday afternoon. She failed, broken legs and broken back.

That's all I can say until now.

I'm sorry

[johndiii]

I can only imagine where you are now, emotionally, but I hope that she will recover - physically and psychologically.

yes

This, completely.

Re:

[subgeek]

i hope this, and also that you recover after you've had your share of enduring.

Best of luck to you and her

[Degrees]

I had a step son attempt suicide. It was difficult and the prelude to lots of trouble.

I'll pray for you and yours. It you don't believe, that's fine. Think of it as me choosing my own path for Pascal's Wager.

Oh crap

[ryanr]

I'm so sorry.

Damn

[gmhowell]

Damn dude. Best of wishes.

Oh no

[(H)elix1]

That is terrible news.

Very sorry

[damn_registrars]

I hope you and her can find the help that is needed.

There is nothing I can say.

[Short Circuit]

There is nothing I anyone can say that would ease your pain, nor can anyone or I presume to understand yours or your wife's pain. There can be no meaningful condolence without understanding, and so there can be no meaningful condolence, despite the requirements of decorum.

Nevertheless, I sincerely wish you and yours better, and you and your wife will be in my prayers this evening and farther.

Hmmm

[Tet]

Nothing to add that the others haven't already said. You've got my number if you need it.

horrible :(

[blinder]

ugh what a nightmare :(
i hope you both can be made whole at some point

At a loss

[baldass_newbie]

Don't really know what to say.
I hope your wife gets the physical and emotional healing she needs.
And don't hesitate to ask for help yourself.
Hang tough, brother.

Sorry for both of you

[Ethelred Unraed]

Hope you both have the strength to get through this. That's really awful. :-(

Cheers,

Ethelred

Shit!

[tomhudson]

That was my first reaction. It's quite a change from your dumpster-diving stories, or the new couch affair. Obviously, you have my sympathies, and where's a better place to vent than here, anyway, where people will understand that anger is a normal reaction . . .

Wow.

[insanecarbonbasedlif]

That's really messed up - vent away here. Take care of yourself, too. I hope your wife gets the mental stability she needs, but I don't want to see you broken down by this, either, so don't forget yourself.

Re:

[SolemnDragon]

definitely get your own oxygen mask on securely; you're both going to need it.
