G rest in peace




    Got news today that the family reunion (was to be this
    Saturday) had been called off.  Or at the very least
    postphoned until probably fall of the year.

    My cousin G died sometime yesterday.  Eventally he
    shot himself in the head.  I am not sure how old he was.
    I do know he was a very troubled soul.  I didn't know
    him all that well  - when I was little I thought he was
    the best looking man I had ever seen -- but I still
    can't believe he had done this.  His mom - my aunt M -
    must be beside herself.

    Not sure when the funeral will be.  "They" won't release
    his body to the family for another day or so.  I am
    guessing because of the way he died the police want
    to investigate.  I'm just guessing at this.

    He lived in another town from me, probably 2 or 3 hours
    away.  He is my second cousin to commit sucide.  The
    other was W - aunt V's daughter. 

     Please pray for G's family.  I know at present he wasn't
     married (though he had been several times) but I know
     he had kids and probably grandkids.  As for family he
     has/had 4 sisters, 3 brothers and his mom is still alive.

     Yeah, I'm sad too.  Like I said I didn't really know him
     all that well but to know he died the way he did is
      just so sad to me right now.

      G -- rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about your cousin's death.  It seems like some people cannot get a grip on their troubled soul.  I truly believe sucide is an illness.  Your family will be in my prayers.

I'm really sorry to hear this Kathy. My prayers are with you and G's family. My cousin also committed suicide, and like you, we weren't particularly close but it really affected me badly. I was sad for ages afterwards that he took his own life. Thinking of you and sending hugs.

Accept my condolences dear Kathy. I pray for the family, that they may find peace. Having lost my younger (bright, handsome, funny, liked by all) son to suicide in 2004, I know the pain that is left behind.
Hugs,
